It is based on Latin letters and has an interesting and long history. Over time, the alphabet has undergone significant changes. Now English is a well-defined system. Distinguish between print and uppercase English alphabets, each of which has advantages and disadvantages.

Uppercase letters of the English alphabet

It is impossible to imagine the alphabet of this language without capital letters. The uppercase alphabet is a comfortable and fast way to write. In addition, capitalization does not imply full copying of the samples. You yourself can create your own writing style, as long as the letters are legible.

Note that earlier the capital letter “A” in English was written in the same way as in Russian. Now the letter appears as a lowercase "a", only in an increased size.

Calligraphy considered a decorative style, therefore it takes a lot of time, creativity and precision. It cannot be argued that this cannot be learned when a person has poor handwriting. Everyone can master calligraphy. It will take time, but it will be beneficial.

As calligraphy becomes popular, convenient master classes and lessons on mastering it are held. You can learn from the comfort of your home.

You only need:

• paper;
• necessary supplies (pen, feather, ink);
• patience and desire.

Several words that can be downloaded and printed:

When teaching English, it is necessary to harmoniously use all four types of speech actions. Good English will only come out with a combination of speaking, reading every day, listening to live English, and writing correctly.

Modern written English does not place too much emphasis on the development of calligraphy skills in the sense that students are not loaded with the skills of connecting letters to words. Perhaps this is due to the fact that we are more and more typing on the computer.

The youngest schoolchildren are taught to write letters in special copybooks, pointing with arrows the direction of movement of the hand when writing. When children begin to master written English letters, and then combine them into words, it is necessary to teach them that the distance between the letters should be less than the distance between words. As practice shows, this is not such an easy task.

Written english letters (alphabet)

The written English alphabet is easy to write. The so-called spelling is much more difficult. The fact is that in English, many words are spelled differently from the way they sound in speech. A good example is a word like “choir” [ˈkwaɪə]. According to linguists, it is impossible for a Russian-speaking person to write this word “by ear” without knowing it.

This is where spelling comes to the rescue, which means "spelling a word." Moreover, this technique is used not only by language learners, but also by English-speaking people themselves. To write a lexical unit correctly, you need to learn the following phrases for asking for help:

Spell it please! Spell this word, please!

Could you spell this word please? Could you pronounce this word letter by letter, please!

Thus, learning the written letters of the English alphabet is best done with spelling. In the English alphabet, some letters are pronounced differently from the letters of the generally accepted Latin alphabet. These are a, c, e, g [ʤiː], h, i, j [ʤeɪ], r [ɑː], u, y. When practicing spelling, pay special attention to these letters. Another important point is that when spelling words, they should sound strictly the way they are pronounced in the alphabet.

The role of writing in English

When learning any language, it is necessary to place emphasis on the order of development of skills. Think about how the child perceives the mother tongue:

• From the first minutes of birth, he listens (listening);
• Begins to pronounce sounds, put them into words and phrases (speaking);
• Begins to recognize letters, read individual words, and then texts;
• He writes the first letter scribbles, deduces letters according to the prescriptions and gradually comes to the texts.

We conclude that the written part of the English language requires listening skills, speaking tolerably well and reading well. At each age, it is necessary to achieve the necessary balance of these skills, and not start writing, bypassing, for example, listening.

Written English lessons

With a reasonable approach to the development of written language, students develop sufficient literacy by the end of school or by the end of language courses. After the 9th and 11th grade of school, students can choose to take an English exam, where the last task is a letter. This is the hardest part of the exam, so take your written English lessons seriously when preparing for the final test.

It is very important to practice the word order exercises, which are quite strict in English. When writing simple texts, use simple sentences, following the rules:

• In an affirmative sentence, first comes the subject, then the predicate, then the addition, and the circumstance (place, time, and so on) completes the construction;
• In interrogative sentences, the word order is changed or an additional auxiliary verb “do” appears;
• In a negative sentence, “not” appears after the auxiliary verb, or pronouns or adverbs that carry negation by themselves (nobody, never) appear before the verb.

Written assignments in English

When completing written assignments in English, in the future, use complex sentences, in each of the parts of which, as a rule, there are its own subject and predicate:

When I was a young boy, I used to wear long hair. When I was a boy, I used to wear long hair.

Written work in English requires the ability to rationally distribute information. To do this, you need to be able to divide texts into paragraphs, use unions and special connecting words:

First (ly) - first;

Second (ly) - secondly;

Besides - besides;

Moreover - more than that;

In conclusion - in conclusion;

Therefore - therefore.

Here you can download and print English letters in words so that your child can learn to write them by dashed lines. After the child learns the English alphabet in words (using our cards), print them out and give them to fill out. Prepare a ballpoint pen that writes clearly enough, but does not smudge, so that your child gets used to writing neatly.

First, have the child begin to circle the printed English letters in words (capital letters first, then small letters). After that, you can go to uppercase letters in the same order.

Printed English Letters in Cursive - Uppercase and Small

Download in the attachments at the bottom of the page printed English letters in words (capital and small) and you can start your studies. Try to make sure that the child traces the letters neatly, not going beyond the dotted lines and not messing the paper. Gradually, this will develop in him the correct writing technique, which will be very useful to him at school. After all, now, as you know, teachers lower the grade for sloppy writing and blots. It is also very important to learn how to draw letters in the desired direction (the direction of each letter is indicated on the first letter of each line). The point that you see already in the dotted letter means the beginning of the letter (that is, from this point you need to start writing the letter).

And this will already cause constant chagrin in the child, especially if the entire task is completed correctly, and the score is underestimated only because of blots and indistinct letters.

You can print these recipes as much as you like, until the child learns to write letters clearly and beautifully, without going beyond the dotted lines. That is, if the child has circled all the capital letters, you need to print these sheets for him again and give him for filling in the next lesson.

Remember to ask your child to say out loud the letter he begins to write on each line.
