hihi mummies, i am keen to read bedtime stories to my baby girl, 8mths + now. her bedtime routine is USUALLY bath, massage, cuddle + sing song, breastfeed to sleep.
*USUALLY - because when her daddy is around. is bath, PLAY until super tired, cuddle + sing song, breastfeed to sleep.
how to start to read to her? she is always distracted. it is oso hard to massage for her as she tends to move a lot. pls share with me. thanks.
Pkum,
My hubby reads to my gal before she sleeps every night. You may want to start by borrowing different type of books for her. Mine like those board books with flaps.
Morning to you all. I have been following on this thread.
Do all mommies so far been reading successfully to your children?
Xuanting though likes books, doesn't have patience with them. She would try to flip the page before you could finish. Or, she chose not to look at the book while my husband or I was reading to her.
I am out of wits on teaching her to read except playing games with her. She has so far been really good in identify words with pictures and knowing how to pronounce them as well. But, we want to expand her vocabulary too.
Care to share some tips on reading books with toddlers?
teaching how to read
We should teach phonics sound first then the words is much easier for children to learn.
for teaching phonics the parents need to play with they and you can make phonics sound with them together.they will feel more interested to join in
when you are reading the story , you must enhance the phonics sound to them and parents have to act not just read the words only
with phonics children can read any words.. like malayu, hanyu pinyi, learning for foreign lauguage also much easier. sabrina also learning some German .
Precious
Thank you
sabrina never been to any hair salon,her hair cut myself.
i thinking of teaching creative thinking, currently searching for material and source and idea.
Do you want to join me ? we can share the idea.
pkum - ooh thinki maybe PR branch. dun recall any brendon in the young tods class
sharon - u really put in alot of effort then. ur gal really cute.
Reading - I started reading to my boy since 2mths old. and i dun like to intro fanciful books.. like books with sound/lights/flaps. i find them distracting more. i believe concentration can be build up. now at 3yos, my boy can sit down follow me read thru many books. infact sometimes i am the tired one tat bargain with him for "less" books ;p
yesterday i was asking Sabrina
if one regtangle and draw a line in between what was happened. She told me will become 2 squares
after that i asked again what happened if i use small square draw a single line one corner to other corner what will happen. she told me " I can see tringles"
