I started Zann on writing a diary. A learning book where she writes and draws from her thoughts and what she has learnt. I discuss with her and then spell out the words for her.
The superhero idea came from cartoon network she follows everyday.

Zann’s diary: I want to…

I got this book from Popular couple of months back. This book is good for doing revision with what Zann has learnt in school. She can go on for 5 pages at a time.

Eye Test
August 17, 2010Earlier this year, there was a letter from the school which informed us Zann would be having her eyes tested. A routine test which we think she shouldn’t skip.
So, the conclusion of the test was NORMAL.
But how normal ??
And this was the search result I googled:
What is considered normal vision?
Normal visual acuity is 6/6. Just a size which considered The first number represents the test distance, 6 metres. The second number represents the certain size of Snellen letter on the eye chart.
A rough comparison of Visual Acuity on Eye test chart
6/3 Not many people achieve this – sniper perhaps
6/4.5 Excellent
6/6 Normal standard
6/7.5 Able to see telex text on TV
6/9
6/10 Driving standard equivalent
6/12
6/15
6/30
6/60
Zann’s result showed that her left eye (6/9.5) is ‘ higher’ than the right eye. We need to limit her time on televsion and computer. (I feel so guilty….)

Zann definitely needs to practice more .
Read
July 1, 2010
She was so mighty pleased with herself after getting a few praises from me.
There’s no other better way to pick up words is READ. Zann’s level of confidence goes up each time she got the words correct. And that encouraged her to read further.
It’s not easy to find a book which she likes. Now that the due date is drawing near, I ll hv to search thoroughly again.

More on food
May 15, 2010
This week, Zann is learning more on food names and basic food groups. This time, I created a big food pyramid for her to match her toy food. It’s a chance of learning and playing, as well.
I didn’t want to confuse her so I focused on three main groups first.
She’s now familiar with vegetables and fruits. Sometimes, she says ‘Met” as meat.
Fast food is her favourite. We just had Subway burger for lunch. 
Zann’s pictorial view of daily activities
May 13, 2010
I asked Zann to draw a picture of herself what she do every day and night.
She doesn’t remember the time spent with her friends in school.
