I still freshly remember teaching at Sibugal Besar Primary School (rural), when I used to do a very simple thing yet had helped and improved tremendously pupil's literacy skills.
I labelled the classroom!
And, now I am labeling my house for my kids benefits too.
This is a fun and simple way to get our kids started recognizing some basic words. We can do it easily without even having to spend any money - we label all of the things in our house. The kids will enjoy getting involved in the on going process of labeling things, as well.
We will need some small strips of paper (we might adjust the size according to the item we are labeling), a pair of scissors, a pen or marker, and some tape.
Just go through the house room by room, looking for things to label. Say, for instance, we started in the kitchen. Some things in the kitchen we could label are: cabinet, microwave, refrigerator, drawer. Labels might not stick on the oven or the dishwasher when they heat up and when the dishwasher blows out steam.
There are lots and lots of opportunities in the kitchen for naming things, though. We could even keep a stack of paper on the counter and when we come back from the store once a week, together with our child can label cereal boxes, etc.
To be continued...
Allah s.w.t jua yang Maha Mengetahui segalanya.
