[quote=\"patntee\"]Hi all, my DS is in pre-nursery now at childcare. He is turning 3 yo in May. He can converse well with us in sentences (but cannot pronounce \"f\" and \"s\" sounds clearly) and can name many objects from pictures (animals, things, food etc) but when it comes to recognising ABC and numbers, he seems very uninterested. He always says \"I dunno\" when we ask him to point out letters of the alphabet or numbers. Any of your 2010 kids are like that? When my elder one was around the same age, she wasn't speaking much but can recognise some letters and knows her A for apple, B for boy etc. But my son cannot sit still to learn from the ABC or number charts.
Hi patntee, my chubs just turned two last December. He is not attending any external kiddie pgrms. He can converse in sentences as well like your DS but due to his young age still got bits of cuuuuttte baby twang... which we simply adore. :please:
He can recite numbers up to 20 but recognizes up to 10 for now. Am in no rush to make him recite / recognize further but instead am playing with him to introduce the quantity concept. ie. Knows the value of the numerals he recites. He skips count like any other tots his age.
He knows his alphabets already and he seems to be self-teaching himself the letter sounds from just our reading sessions with him. Find that he is sensitive to language especially now (sensitive period we call it in Montessori Education) and picking up things very very fast. He can make sense of the sounds when we say bear he goes b-uh is for bear.. and so on. :shock: We just sing along the sounds and words he knows. No formal phonics intro yet and not planning to as yet.
Learning numbers and alphabets need not require seat work. We do fun stuff where he can work hands-on and there are running around activities as well.
Share with you one of our games..

He will walk around the table and mat to pick up the alphabets to match with the corresponding cards.. and sing the alphabet song over and over.. This material encourages upper case recognition and also learning words that begin with each alphabet.
As for seat activities, he likes tracing these cards.
*oops* think it didn't come out.. will try again later.. These cards feature emphasis on lower case recognition and tracing.
And for math we play with numbers as well. No sitting down required. Don't have to be quiet either.

Mebbe if you like i can share more.. Most importantly i find that if parents can offer children variety of simple yet interesting resources at home for children to work and play with, children will pick up learning faster than we know it. They of course think that they are just playing with mommy. So, no stress. Only fun.

Hi buds, can share where to buy at $15?
-
From a spree organizer at SMH (Singapore Motherhood Forum), sembgal. I look out for experienced and reputable spree organizers from time to time especially for educational materials. Most of whom became fast friends because we share similar fetish for cool educational products.

What are spree organisers buds?
-
They organize bulk purchase or alternatively called a bulk spree. Like shopping spree liddat.
Interested buyers will all share cost for shipping on top of product price which makes it cheaper for everyone on the whole. They could be running this online or perhaps bring over from overseas (probably has relative / family staying there) or perhaps also da bao all the wonderful barangs from having to travel for work from time to time.
Some of these sellers monitor sales periods and bulk discounts from the vendors or manufacturers so we can all enjoy more savings.
Hope this clarifies. -
