Why learn my ABC?
I think that there is an error in the way we teach our children. We make them learn things without making them aware of how they can benefit from the things they will be picking up. They have to memorise some of the things they learn and then the teachers seem to be repeating what they teach. A very good example would be learning the alphabets from A-Z.
So, here is my list of what you can do with alphabets:
1) Learn to spell.
2) Write your name, your family's and friends.
3) String letters together to form words.
4) String words together to form sentences.
5) Express yourself in letters, blogs or books.
6) Learn to sort and find books you want at libraries.
7) Find your friends or directions to shops in directories.
8) Write about things you enjoy
9) Learn new languages.
10) Share meaningful tips from A-Z like this one:
