‘Book! Book! Book!....’ Our Little Darling will pester me to give him a book when he is free or when he is too bored with his toys! Wheh he gets hold of a book, he will sit down and start to flip through the pages and read ‘pictures’ . He can recognize quite a number of items like things at home, animals, fruits, flowers, colours, etc. As he can only speak a few words, I will read out the name of items and let him point, correct him on the spot if he did not point to the right one!
He starts to like reading recently. We bought him some books but when we realized that we couldn’t catch up with his ‘reading’ speed, daddy decided to borrow from library instead. It’s more economical, less time-consuming to acquire the books and gives more varieties! He likes animals’ books more as compared to others.
He can recognize many different types of wild animals, farm animals and some of their sounds and babies. I am satisfied with his progress but of course hope that he can learn and master more!
We started to count and came to know that he can speak more then 50 single words only this afternoon when our PD was recording his progress on his healthbook!!! Its amazing and our PD was very happy with him.
As rough idea, these are words that Little Darling can speak: apple, egg, dog, milk, purple, bear, potato, pear, ya, not, pineapple, dad dad, mummy, jeh jeh(elder sister), meh meh (younger sister), di di (younger brother), yi yi (aunty), mah (grandma), yeh yeh (grandpa), eat, book, bite, elbow, pig, rabbit, mug, ink, duck, chick, neh neh (milk), pork, yard, bread, ball, play play, no more, bye, blue, hiss, roar, baa, neigh, oink, dirty, star, bag, baby, lemon, take, put, back, big.
Words that is not very clear are yallow (yellow), bah (bus), wooter (water).
Other than this, he can point to the right place when you read for him our body part like eyes, nose, ears, hair, tummy, buttock, elbow, toes, mouth, tongue, fingers & legs!
You will amazing by his wittiness when you playing with him about animal sounds: When we say what does pig say, he will say oink, you say horse, he will says neigh, snake is hiss, sheep is baa, lion is roar, cow is moo and hen is cluck. He would make some funny expression when saying out the animal sounds which will make you laugh till drop! He is the little apple at home and at my parent and parent-in-laws home.
His SM Teacher commented that our Little Darling has the best performance in the class! His concentration span is the longest in the class and he really behave himself and doing well in all activities except sometimes when he becomes grouchy and naughty from lack of nap. When his teacher teaching phonics in the class, he can speaks some of the word like a apple, b bear, d dog, e egg, i ink, r rabbit & y yard. I think it is worth of our effort of sending and fetching him from school and spending time coaching him at home. This is the greatest reward to me for sacrificing my career to stays home as a fulltime housewife.
We are looking forwards to his speaking proper sentences! It must be a wonderful time to speak with him then! :-)
