Her reading update

May 9, 2011

Phonics lessons in school are working for Zann, she’s beginning to read and took an interest in getting a book by herself at the library.

Recently, she surprised me with a big book. She tried reading words by words, stopping at the unfamiliar ones, waiting for me to read aloud to her.

(note: this initiative seldom happen when we are outside)

After finished one book, she wasn’t keen to continue anymore. She said she’s tired!

I hope she can keep this interest going because she will be going to Pri 1 next year.

Oh, not forgetting ice cream the girl has been asking for.

As we walked around, the girl was playing with my camera. She said she wanted to take a few shots of the place.

I attended the Meet the parents session yesterday.

Miss Maz updated me how Zann had progress over the past 6 months. From a quiet and shy girl, she is now a bubbly girl with her two good friends, Kayle and Ashley. It was also commented that the girl is a independent learner.

Daddy and I were glad to see some good transformation in her especially she would look forward to go school every morning. This was the first time. Very different from the previous centres.

Another year has come to an end and Zann will be in her final year in her kindergarten next year.  :)

Yesterday, the girl caught me by surprise when she asked for some reading time. I almost forgot Zann had these two books which I bought couple of months ago.

The alphabet cards

October 15, 2010

To find out how many words Zann knows, I started her on making the alphabet cards. By going through each of 26 alphabets, she’s able to to list out the words. I helped to spell out the words. Some of the funny ones include ghost, barbie doll and poo-poo. :D
