Letter U tasks for preschoolers with pictures

Purpose of the lesson: study the letter U, develop reading skills, develop speech skills, improve phonemic awareness, and the basics of elementary graphic skills.

Tasks:

introduce the preschooler to the letter U and the correct pronunciation of the sound;
teach how to write the printed letter U in squares;
to generate interest in learning poems and riddles.

Name what is shown in the pictures below:

Morning

Snail

Duck

Iron

Ask what sound the words begin with - the names of the pictures? To pronounce [U], you need to make a tube with your lips, open your mouth slightly and “turn on” your voice. Repeat: UUU

Do your teeth, lips or tongue prevent air from coming out of your mouth freely? (No, they don’t interfere.)

Close eyes. What do you hear? (Traffic noise, music, etc.) We hear different sounds. Close your eyes again and listen: Aah, Uuu... These are also sounds - the sounds of human speech. Sounds make up the words we use to speak.

AAA is a sound, AIST is a word. UUU is a sound, DUCK is a word. Please remember: we hear sounds, we pronounce them. You can use letters to write down speech sounds and words. We see letters, we write them, we read them.

A preschooler will be able to distinguish between the concepts of sound, letter, and word gradually, as a result of constant repetition over a long time.

Assignment: printed letter U for preschoolers

Draw the sticks carefully along the cells with a simple pencil or ballpoint pen.

In cases where the child is asked to write a whole line of a letter, syllable or word, the adult gives a writing sample at the beginning of the line. If a preschooler has difficulties, then an adult can draw two approximate lines, or put reference points that the child will connect with lines, or write the entire letters, and the child will simply circle them in a different color. Calligraphy should not be required at this stage of training.

Getting to know the sound "U"

First of all, it is necessary to explain the difference between a sound and a letter. Sound is something that we can hear and pronounce, and letters represent the sounds of speech; we see them and write them.

Getting to know sound begins with awareness of articulation and studying the graphical representation of the sound profile.

Features of articulation: lips are tube-shaped and extended as far forward as possible. The back of the tongue is raised, the tongue moves away from the lower teeth. The vocal cords are working, the throat is trembling. The air is exhaled without obstruction. To better understand the articulation and reproduction of the “U” sound, invite your child to place his hand on his throat, he will feel a slight vibration of the ligaments.

Then the child learns to correctly reproduce the sound using articulation. If he doesn’t succeed right away, offer to look at the profile and repeat.

Sound pronunciation is inextricably linked with phonemic perception. Therefore, further exercises are performed to isolate sounds by ear in different parts of the word, from a group of other vowels. Vowels are more difficult to distinguish than consonants. You need to start with simple tasks: Say a chain of sounds, hearing the sound “U”, the baby should clap his hands.

Gradually complicate the task: say syllables, words. First, select words for children with the sound “U” at the beginning of the word, then at the end and in the middle. Explain what the sound pattern of a word is and what colors represent each sound. As a result, children should be able to determine the number of sounds in a word.

At the end, the designation of a sound by a letter is studied and its visual image is formed.

Tale about the letter U

About a little spider On the shore of a pond in the dill there lived a little, little spider, who was afraid of flies more than anything else in the world. All the beetles, snails, snakes, frogs, ducklings and even the flies themselves laughed at him, and his brothers, the big spiders, scolded him and called him a quitter.

“I need to prove to everyone that I’m not a quitter,” decided the little spider.

And one night he picked a large bouquet of red poppies and painted all the cobwebs in the garden with them.

“The brothers will be happy in the morning,” thought the contented spider, “it’s so beautiful—the red web!”

But alas! The next morning, the evil, despicable big spiders, swearing terribly, washed their webs. The flies immediately noticed the red nets, and none of them were caught.

And the little spider was so scared that it ran far, far away. And now no one knows where he lives...

(G. Yudin)

Let's summarize: analogues of Russian |у|

Long sound | u: | in contrast to ours, it is a diphthongoid (the speech apparatus slightly changes its position during pronunciation): the tongue moves backward and upward in the oral cavity. The lips are initially rounded and, as the tongue moves, they become even more rounded. But don't stick out forward!
Brief sound | ʊ | is also very different from ours. First, the tongue needs to be moved forward and lowered slightly. Secondly, the rounding of the lips is more reminiscent of the position for our | o |, but the mouth is not open so wide, the lips hardly move forward. The sound needs to be given the “shade” of our | s |.
Diphthong | ʊǝ | is an indivisible combination of a strong syllabic sound | ʊ | and weak | ǝ|. This sound is not very common in English.

Riddles for children starting with the letter U

Two antennas on the top of her head, And she sits in a hut, She carries it on herself, She crawls very slowly. (Snail)

Horns came out onto the path. You won't butt? I touched them a little, the horns hid again. (Snail)

Along the river, along the water, a string of boats floats. The ship is ahead, leading everyone behind it! (Duck with ducklings)

What is it with Galochka? A thread on a stick, A stick in your hand, And a thread in the river. (Fishing rod)

Amazing child! Just out of diapers, he can swim and dive, like his own mother. (Duckling)

Across the linen country, Along the Sheet River The steamer floats back and forth, And behind it is such a smooth surface - Not a wrinkle can be seen. (Iron)

Recommendations for activities

There is no point in starting to learn the alphabet before the age of 4; before this age, children are not ready to learn psychologically; their speech apparatus is poorly developed. Preschoolers perceive information more easily and are more assiduous.
Teachers recommend starting training with those sounds that are formed earlier, these are vowels: a, u, e, i, o. Then you can switch to vowels consisting of two sounds: e, e, yu, i.
For learning, use visual methods: pictures, objects.
During classes, alternate auditory, visual, and tactile activities.
When learning a new letter, ask them to think of as many words as possible with that sound, or ask them to find objects in the room that begin with the sound.
