Hi Tanikit,
Thanks for your reply. My daughter is three year old. Both of us (parents) are working. We are from India. My daughter goes to a nursery school cum day care. And she is hesitant to wake up early we did not pressurize her to attend school everyday. And we too ignored the importance of Early learning. We use to think that it is too early to burden the kid with studies. She was not regular to school.
Next year onwards she will be going to a school that will be her LKG. Which we will ensure she attends regularly.
Coming to what my baby knows. I have given her board books since she was 1 year. She can identify Vegetables, Fruits, Colors , Shapes , capital letters of English. She is not accurate in identifying Alphabets. I would like to know , now that she knows the alphabets , what should I do to teach her phonics as well as correct recognition.
I want to teach her small letters as well.
Numbers - She can count till 10. but she is not accurate. I would like to teach her numbers as well.
We speak English and Hindi at home. Our mother tongue is Hindi. My daughter speaks Hindi fluently since 1.5 yrs. We have never encouraged her to read Hindi. She has started speaking English as well now. Not very fluent in English.
She is interested in coloring exercises.
As far as the question of what I want to teach her - I would like to teach her all that is possible to teach her. Right Brain Training , Reading, Maths, encyclopediac knowledge, music etc. I am looking forward for a mentor who could guide me
.
If time permits , planning to join her for classical Music , which is mostly preferred in India.
One question: At what age should the child be taught to write? Can I ignore the writing activity for few months and concentrate on her reading skills.
I understand I have missed the important 3 years of teaching her. I want to cope up with it.
I am using the trial version of LR and LM. She watches it one lesson a day. Can I increase the number of lessons per day ? Will that be beneficial ? I have ordered for LR Deluxe and LM. Hope it arrives soon.
I have never read books to her. Wanted to start reading to her. But thought will start when I get simple story books that are suitable for kids. Hope the ones that comes with LR deluxe will help. Any suggestions as to what can be read to kids.
Your guidance in this this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Sayama Ahmed
