yes… my boy enjoys them… … so no matter how tired i am, i will read some books at least.


of coz… it’s becos i am a kiasu parent mah.

Hihi


both ways.

New books, i will read to him first few times. Then i throw in some questions to him … so that it engages him… or even ask him to describe the pics in the books.

Not so new books, i get him to read to me instead. He can only recognise some words… but i reckon he memorised the contents… so he can " read"…

Sometimes when we are on bus or mrt, i will ask him abt the stories as well… juz something to get him to describe and comment.

I make flashcards of the key words in the some of his fav stories too. was hoping that it wil help him in word recognition : P

It’s usually before he goes to bed.

As to what we do… story books is a must. Flashcards also. I follow GD schedule. As for topis, i got many readers for preschool. So all can be used
Playing is ad-hoc.

home made toys… … juz training chopsticks, straws … boiled eggs to practice peeling the shell… mazes… stacking blocks etc

simple stuff.

forgot to mention, pretend play is also impt.

My son auto sticks to me whenever i m home. So we do a variety of things… his fav is reading becos lazy mum sometimes didnt change flashcards often enough to entice him.

Hi Addoil


I work full time… : )
Home practice is one of those bonding time that i share with my son.
We do reading… singing… and flashcards (key item)… and some fine motor skills stuff (subj to availability of creative juice from my old brain)

Cheers

Hihi


i do combination of Shichida practice and follow GD as well.
No longer attending shichida due to admin issue with the school though.
DIY at home is perfectly ok.

Cheers
