Last minute reading

It has been a busy week & got to read the books to the kids by today as Randson has to return them tomorrow.

Appreciating your child

Finally I have completed this book - how to love your child & spend time with your child.

Parents put in their best effort & patience to their children when they started to learn walking & talking. Hence we should give them the same kind of support & patience in all their learnings.

Reading time

Reading time again, while I read the kids listen, not sure how much they have absorbed. But I remembered what Clement told me, he taught his 2 year old girl numbers by flashing number cards to her & he was surprised that his girl shouted "9" & "10" when they passed by a Petrol Kiosk, that showed "9 & 10% discount". So it showed that she was listening all this while though she doesn't appear to be paying attention.

New books

Wow MA bought quite a few new books & Randson borrowed 2 of them on Hamtaro. I loved to watch the cartoon on TV when it 1st started but stopped watching after finding out that Kids Central kept repeating the series. Read the 3 books to the kids today.

Reading time

Read these 3 books to the kids which Randson has borrowed from Morris Allen. Didn't know why Randson started to slack in his studies, he refused to go for Morris Allen class this morning & when asked to learn his spelling, he told me : "I am lousy, I am stupid..." & he refused to tell me whom had said this to him.

Sad ... ... ...

Story telling (reading) time

Feel so good after Randson's abacus class, hence I decided to read aloud "Little Train" to my kids.

Randson can READ!!!

Randson read "The Clock" to me today!!! He can READ!!! He can read the whole book to me (except 1 or 2 words he doesn't know) & I am overjoyed!!! I hugged & gave him a kiss on his forehead immediately after he finished reading!!! Hippy, Randson can READ, how I wish I can announced to the whole WORLD!!!

Got to take this opportunity to thanks Morris Allen & his LSP teacher!!!


LSP means Learning Support Program which is an early intervention programme conducted by the Primary School.
- It aims to provide learning support to pupils with weak language, reading and spelling skills.
- Pupils enters P1 -> Sits for screening test -> weak language & literacy skills -> LSP
- Pupils are grouped with peers of similar ability (8-10 pupils).
- Daily, 30 mins session - conducive learning environment, many activities, much support & encouragement.

The best part is I didn't know Randson was selected for LSP & I even called the school to ensure that he is in it. I am glad that the school is providing this to Randson & he has shown much improvement after all these enrichment courses!!! What can be more happy than to see Randson improving each day!!!

Reading can be quite tiring

Randson borrowed another 3 story books from Morris Allen on Saturday & I knew he wouldn't read them till I nag at him. So I made an effort to read to them after dinner. Luckily 2 of them are quite short except The Cat in the Hat...wow it is a long long book but it is quite funny.

The kids laughed out loud again this round, when they heard "Cuckoo, Cuckoo" the sound of the bird from "The Clock".

"Kim and the missing paint pot" relates to several fairy tales like Cinderalla, Three little pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, etc.

While "The Cat in the Hat Comes Back" talks about how the Cat in the Hat helps the kids to clear the dirt that he left in the bathtub with the help of A, B, C, D, E ... ... X, Y & Z cats in the hats. It is quite exciting but it is really tiring reading the whole book.

Reading aloud for the kids

It has been a long, long time I have not read a story for my kids & I have broken my record by reading 2 today (all books are borrowed fm Morris Allen Study Centre).

First story is "Rosie on the Swing", it is a funny story about Rosie, whom like to say "More" & ended up on the tree when she was playing on the Swing. The kids have a great laugh when they heard "a Pigeon on Rosie's head".

Second story is "Richard Scarry's Little Counting Book", this is more on additional, eg 1 bunny with 1 bunny is 2 bunnies, etc.

Kind of tired after reading these books aloud but if this can help my kids to improve their English & studies, I am willing to do so. (Luckily they never request to read the third book, Thomas Railway Word Book, as this book is full of words!!!)
