25 months and 17 days old

QQ and XX used to learn together at home. However due to their age gap (about 2 years old), even though I will usually give them the same learning sheet, they usually do different things with the same learning sheet.. QQ will learn while XX will mainly colour.

Now that QQ has started school and XX is 2 years old already so I guess he should starts to learn more things than just colouring and recognising pictures.

Read about QQ's School Life here.

So, will be sharing the learning sheets that I prepare for XX. Hopefully this shares some learning ideas with other parents. I am no teacher so will be mainly getting the ideas from internet or just anything that pops in my head.

Will be testing some thematics for now. 

Monday-- Alphabets

Tuesday-- Numbers

Wednesday- Colours

Thursday--Shapes

Friday-- Miscellaneous

Today's theme will be alphabets.

Main objective- For XX to learn to recognise some alphabets and learn how to write them. 

First, I asked XX to point out A, and then B and so on. XX only manages to recognise A. Mis-recognise D as B and didn't manage to point out much for the rest. I then point to each alphabets in sequence and ask XX to read along with me. He did so and after that I hold XX hands and we write the alphabets together. Halfway XX wanted to write on his own but he wasn't sure how to write them so just anyhow write. Hold his hand again and teach him to write in the correct sequence.

Afterwards, we used a blue colour pencil and link the alphabets together according to the sequence. Whole activity took about 15 minutes. XX says wants to colour the alphabets then got distracted and play his toys.

After a while, wants to read book so took out his "My First 1001 Words" and flip around. Read a bit on colours and then got bored. So far only able to recognise pink.
