35-month old reading progress

Time flies. My princess is turning 3 in a few weeks time. Sometimes I couldn't believe the running and jumping angel is my baby.

I have to say that this is the moment which I have been longing for since she was born.

When she was still an infant, I wish she can grow up fast, can hold the milk bottle by herself and burp without help.

When she can crawl, I wish she could walk and run steadily without me worrying so much.

When she starts babbling, I wish she could say out how she feels and what she wants without me guessing from her cry.

Thank God for this precious moment. The terrible 2, they said. T.T

Well, it's time to do some recording on her learning progress. I have lost count on the books she had read and also the new words she can read. She knows phonics so basically she can pronounce new words by herself before I open my mouth to teach.

For her motor skill, she can write A to Z, 1 to 20, all Chinese basic strokes by following the dotted lines. Certain letters can be written out by herself without dotted lines too.

Reading comprehension:
There are story books which come with questions and varies activities for the kid. My daughter learn to answer them after reading the stories together with me. It's a good practice and allow me to know her understanding of the stories.

Other skill:
She can color better and have great interest in solving the activities puzzle and books. She loves the matching, cross out and circling the correct answers workbooks.

Helper in the house:
-My princess loves to see me making milk. She will describe each step while watching. For e.g, first, pour in room temperature water, then some hot water. Next add in the milk powder. Cover it and shake shake shake. Very funny!
- She insist to help in getting her own diaper, wet tissue and clothing before changing.
- After drinking milk, she will make sure she can find the cover and pass it to me. Then she will place the milk bottle in the washroom.
- She learns how to clean up the mess and keep her toys. Well, sometimes she prefers not to do it and stop us from tidying up her toys as she loves to see the bed is full of her toys. (sweat*)

My princess knows how to pretend, such as imagine the Elmo (plush toy) is crying, and she will say "Elmo is crying. He is hungry. He wants to drink milk. His diaper is so wet." Or she will hold her watering can toy and pretend she has a garden full of flower patches. She will go and water the plants and said "beautiful flowers." Sometimes she will pretend to cook, and pass her daddy or me the "food" to munch. At times, she will pretend herself as a giraffe, eating the toy tree leaves. @.@

My princess is better in her motor skill now. It can be showed when she tries to do coloring. She knows how to adjust better and color the part where she wants. I think she is quite artistic as she always start from red, follow by orange, yellow, blue, green and so on to mix the color together. If she color brown, she will mix with black. My hubby and I feel quite surprised that she can do it without us teaching her.

Colours:
She can say out the mixture of the colours.
Blue + Red = Purple
Blue + Yellow = Green (will still forget at times)
Red + Yellow = Orange
Black + White = Grey
Red + White = Pink


Seasons:
She can say out and differentiate the 4 seasons and pretend to shiver when she mentioned winter. Very funny.
Spring
Summer
Autumn
Winter

For her reading progress, she can start reading in paragraph confidently since 27-month-old. There was one time when she was sitting on my lap and I was busy replying SMS, she looked up and read out my message loudly. Sounds funny but really have to watch out this girl who can read our 'secrets' from our iPhones now. 

Like other kids, she loves to play with her iTouch, our iPhone and iPad. She knows how to read so we just let her explore those children apps after we downloaded for her. I feel thankful that there are so many free education apps available. ^^

p/s: One little cute thing she likes to do when she sees her parents are hugging. She will immediately run towards us and hug both of us too and said, "Hugging. Daddy, mummy and Claryssa are hugging. I love you!" ^^

Only listed those she could read the whole book by herself and only put up the cover of the books which I could find them online (to ease your search if you would like to get the same book in future). 


Those books which still on her reading progress (not fully mastered yet) are not listed here. And those books she had read when she was 1-year-old (simple words books) are not listed here too. 


I'm glad my princess loves to read. That's why I am so crazy in buying books here and there. Since I'm not sending her to any school yet, I am trying my best to teach her as much as possible in a fun and loving way at home. Home schooling is highly recommended to all parents!


Due to the way I buy books (just like I'm building a library or opening a bookstore), I have contacts of the books suppliers who are willing to give me special discounts. So if you are interested in getting children books in discounted price too, please do contact me (nanamishop99@gmail.com) so that we can make our bulk purchase together to save the cost. ^^


I always encourage my friends to start teaching their children how to read from young. Some accepted the idea but mostly said no. They feel that childhood are too important for the children so better let them enjoy playing rather than give them pressure. I have to stress that, teaching your children how to read can be fun too. Your children will find many interesting knowledge from the books by themselves. My princess loves reading and keeps asking for more books everyday. If she doesn't enjoy reading, nobody can force her. If you need any advice on how to teach your baby to read, feel free to discuss in the comment box below.
