Mind: Literacy Tips for Parents and Teachers 2.3

Always motivate our child with fun and lucrative ideas of labeling our house!

I have mentioned before about labeling and blinds. This is a really good way to use the things in our house like flashcards. Close the blinds up and quiz our child on the first letter of the word. And if they are advancing even more, we can ask them to spell the word. This could also be done with cabinet doors, open the door all the way so you cannot see the word.

Can label bathroom? Well, obviously it is quite difficult to label indeed. Remember when we talked about that steam coming out of the dishwasher? Similarly, the bathroom is full of steam from our hot showers, shaving, etc. The bathroom can still be labeled, it's definitely not impossible. Just keep in mind that we will have to replace those labels from time to time. 

Another best part about using labels all over the house is that our child will consider it 'play'. He'll love to help us cut the paper and hang the labels, making it more like a craft than an educational experience. All the while he'll be learning an important foundation to a life of literacy, what an awesome combination!

End of tip 2.

Allah s.w.t jua yang Maha Mengetahui segalanya.
