The purpose of the lesson: we study the letter A, the formation of reading skills, the basics of elementary graphic skills, the development of speech skills, the improvement of phonemic hearing.
- to acquaint the preschooler with the letter A, the correct pronunciation of the sound;
- teach to write the block letter A in the cells;
- to form an interest in learning poems and riddles.
What does the doctor ask to say when examining the throat? (A-a-a ...)
Name what is drawn in the pictures below:
Astra Stork Watermelon Bus
Ask, what sound do the words begin with - the names of the pictures?
To say A, you have to open your mouth wide and "turn on" your voice. Repeat: AAA.
Are your tongue, teeth, or lips blocking the flow of air from your mouth? Notice how wide the mouth is when we say A.
Write the letter A once on a piece of paper without boxes.
Remember and name the words that begin with A - animals, objects or names.
If it is difficult for the child, suggest a simpler task:
AAALIK, AAANIA - what do you hear at the beginning of a word?
Assignment: Print A for Preschoolers
Put points in the corners of the cells with a simple pencil or ballpoint pen; draw - sticks neatly in the cells.
In cases where the child is asked to write a whole line of a letter, syllable or word, the adult gives a sample of writing at the beginning of the line.
If a preschooler has difficulties, then an adult can draw two reference lines, or put anchor points that the child will connect with lines, or write the letters entirely, and the child will simply circle them in a different color. Calligraphy should not be required at this stage of training.
Poems about the letter A
Here are two pillars obliquely,
And between them - a belt.
Do you know this letter? A?
In front of you is the letter A.
(S. Marshak)
Here is a letter like a hut.
Isn't it true, the letter is good!
And although she is simple in appearance,
And the ALPHABET begins.
(E. Tarlapan)
Let the alphabet
Starts with AISTA -
He, like the alphabet,
It starts with A!
(V. Zakhoder)
Everyone knows,
The letter A is a very nice letter.
And besides, the letter A
In the alphabet, the main one.
Love this sound
And Andrey and Allochka,
Stick so and stick so
And in the middle is a stick.
(E. Uspensky)
The tale of the letter A
Why A first?
There was a terrible noise in the room. All the letters crawled out of the alphabet and argued loudly: why is this A the very first letter of the alphabet?
Down with impostor A - the vowels were shouting.
- Long live Abracadabra! (i.e. confusion).
- What is this being done, eh? - hiss hissed.
- Put the letter with which the sore throat and the shark begin at the head of the alphabet! Wow sh-jokes ...
- That's right, - the consonants thought silently, - it's not for nothing that the most delicious things - watermelon, orange, apricot, pineapple - begin with A.
But the letter Y screamed the loudest.
I don’t understand why the first A, and not I ?!
- And because, - said A, who has been silent until now, - the very first word of every baby begins with A.
- What is this word? - I did not calm down.
- Yeah, - said A.
“And besides, I look like an admiral standing on the bridge. And everyone knows that the admiral must always be ahead!
- So! - said a firm sign.
Proverbs and sayings starting with the letter A

- Poems affect not only the development of memory. It has been proven that if you learn a few lines every day, new neural connections appear in the brain, and the general ability to learn increases.
- Riddles develop in children intelligence, the ability to analyze and prove. Educators use riddles in teaching children to increase interest in challenging tasks.
A selection of tasks for studying and fixing the letter and sound A... Completing assignments, children will not only get to know, learn and consolidate the letter A, but also enrich the general stock of ideas, vocabulary.
