learning and growing together
Written on Friday, April 25, 2008 by mummyvaio
as my baby grows up day by day....she learns as many things as i learn...recently found a really good website called zerotothree...which give a guide for early childhood education.i was always worried that i started too late to develop her learning skills,as i never seriously use flash cards or teach her alphabets recognization properly...well,reading through this website,somehow i feel assured that my methods are quite right...n not too pushy for her...we bought her some concepts book...abc,words n number books..but we let her browse as she likes it.easier to say..we make her lead her own learning pace.at first she was turning all the pages very fast...she kept on turning the pages,n repeat it again...that i wonder...does this make sense?but i keep saying n pointing a few words or picture here n there as she flipped the pages...then these few weeks...she still flipping the pages...but she will pause at pictures that she likes n point to the pictures,n i will said it aloud...it is very exciting when we come to the animal page...when she points to an animal,i will said the animals name aloud and make it sounds...she really likes the lion...when she points at the lion sometimes she will said "akkkhhh"...hehe...very cute indeed.i use the same method when reading storybooks.some times she just flip the pages.so i only point the pictures at her n tell her what we saw...for some words that can be turned into action...i will do dramatic readings..haha..there is one book that amuses her so much..bear book that describe about a baby bear...on the last page is a picture mama bear tickling the baby bear on his tummy...with the final word "and one tickly tum"...everytime i read this sentence i will tickle the baby bear picture.nowadays everytime i read the sentence,fareehah will said "tickly,tickly tummm"..n tickle the baby bear...hehehe...
i do hope she will love to read,as nowadays she will take her book herself for me to read...i almost never have to initiate reading n looking at books to her..=) she takes the lead,n i follow..n that was stressed in the website...follow your child lead...hopefully i am doing the right thing.
