Recently, I did an intuitive shopping at e-Cosway, Sandakan, I think. I bought an automatic-bread-maker! And, I am planning an activity...
An activity that will boost reading enthusiasm and make my little one feel a
bit more grown up by helping me making bread from an instant-bread-making book. I will explain
to my child that it is important to put the ingredients in and follow
the instructions in the recipe in order. Then I will just let him be in
charge of reading the recipe to me as the breading precess flows. I will, of
course, give him any help he needs.
He can always read the labels
on the ingredients that I am using. For instance, he can help me to
differentiate between baking powder and baking soda and make sure I
get the right one. Perhaps I might even let him fix my 'mistake'
when I pick up the wrong one. He will feel so smart and helpful.
Here is the thing, when I can get my child excited about things and making pictures, funny games
that maybe lead to silly stories, helping in the kitchen and feeling
like a big kid, I am actually helping to raise his confidence and also his
motivation to really enjoy books and reading.
Getting creative and
changing things up obviously can inspire children to get reading!
Allah s.w.t jua yang Maha Mengetahui segalanya.
