hi, thanks for the comments. I am full time WORKING mum so i only got a few hours in the night with her.
I started at 6mths with her on maths, english and mandarin and only started encyclo to her abt 14mths old. This is because i realise she is pretty fast in capturing reading words so I wanted to expand her encyclo K. I didnt know if it will work.
With GD, you are supposed to flash the pictures to them for 10 days saying the name of the person. Then another 1 fact for another 10 days. there are total of 10 facts on the back of each card. The only thing i dont like about this is my gal cannot read the name of the inventor or composer or the name of the country so I had to make my own with the same photo but the name at the back so that she can read the words.
I also find that the facts behind is too long to read if doing the flashing fast..I used this in between new words flashcards so as to inject some freshness into the sessions.
I am doing flags, inventors and composers. Now i did my own famous artists, instruments and shapes.
She can pick up words from books already so guess its important to give them extra knowledge.
We can always revise these with them all the time! even bath time, i will tell her ' ok lets do composers' then ask her 'Franz? " and she will say 'Szubert', Me : Ludwig? and she will say ' Beethovan'
You guys can visit youtube.com so see her advancement and my flashing method... to share with all! I believe if we work hard enough, our kids will see a better future and a nicer world to live in next time! thanks!
