How to teach my 5 year old to study?

[Paulyn]

I hv a similar problem. I read to my son since he was 1 yr old every night.


He is in K1 now and v eloquent. Without fail, he will bring me many books to read every night. He has read some books on his own accord but I suspect he reads from memory. I’m not sure whether he can recognise the words as when I ask him to read words to me, he either look at the picture and maybe guess or just say I don’t know. He likes Letterland which his sch use to teach them phonics in N2. But I’m not familiar as during my era, we do not do phonics.

He also does not like to write. Blame it on me as I really lost my patience and scolded him badly when he does not want to. He will scribble and just draw something. I also realised he writes B, b, d in the opposite way.

Now, I want to enrol him in some enrichment classes to motivate reading and writing. Any recommendations?

Hi,

As for writing, pls be very patient with your boy. You may let him draw and write simple words related to the pic he drew. This may encourage him to write short sentences later.
