46-month-old Reading and Learning Progress
To be honest, I have lost track on the books my princess has been reading for all these days. I kept purchasing new books and she just read 5 to 7 books at a time. She hardly repeat the books that she had read unless they are really interesting and fun.
My princess has been picking up her great interest on languages. She is learning Mandarin, Spanish, Korean, Bahasa Malaysia apart from English.
For the words that she can speak in Spanish:
Colors:
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Black, White, Grey, Pink, Brown
Numbers:
0 to 20
Seasons:
Spring, summer, autumn, Winter
Months of the year:
January to December
Shapes:
Oval, circle, square, cube, pentagon
Fruits:
grapes, apple, orange
Thank you, goodbye, let's go...
We are still working on the fruits and vegetable. Well, for those who wants to teach your kids some languages that we (as parents) don't know either, we have to be humble, patient and learn together with them. My memory is not as good as my daughter. Her learning progress is so much faster compare to mine yet I'm trying my best to learn so that I can be her learning companion. We will test each other to kill times in the car or while waiting for our food in the restaurant. I found that it's a very fun revision game for both of us.
For Chinese characters, I'm surprised that she did self learn the numbers from zero to twenty and colours. Thanks for the app on the iPad. Hahaha!
So for the Chinese characters that she can recognize:
上, 下, 左, 右, 前，后，多，少， 零至二十，人，头，口，牙，手，耳，山，石，田，天，风，雨，木，土，花， 草， 树，叶，书，米，肉，豆，布，衣，日，月，水，火，云，门，刀，瓜，果，走，来，去，大，小，吃，笑，哭
Mathematics:
She can count from 0 to 100. Doing addition and subtraction. She can memorize the multiplication table for x2, x3 and x4. Not so confident in x4 yet.
Solar system:
She can memorize all the planets name, such as sun, Mars, Venus, Earth, Moon, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Mercury, asteroids, comet, etc.
Flags, countries' name and the locality of the countries on the map:
Cuba, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, China, South Korea, Japan, United States, United Kingdom, Bahrain, Nepal, India, Argentina, Sri Lanka, Belgium, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Thailand, Greece, Philippines, Germany, Ghana, South Africa, Brazil, France, Colombia, Russia, Sweden, Egypt, Nigeria, Turkey, Finland, Greenland, Switzerland, Italy, Madagascar, Vietnam, Norway, Iceland, Papua New Guinea, Panama, Mexico, Spain, Chile, Netherlands, Romania, Portugal.
(I am not good in flags and names of countries. So I tried to learn together with her while teaching her at the same time. In the end, she is a faster learner than me. I can feel the stress now. Surrender!)
Below are not very familiar yet:
Jamaica, Kenya, Kuwait, Tunisia, Qatar, Denmark
Writing:
Great improvement in writing skill. She can follow the dotted line well. No problem in writing A to Z and all numbers. She is trained in basic strokes and Chinese characters too. As for number 8, she is still not so confident yet.
Coloring:
I feel so happy that she can color better now. She can avoid to color out from the line and even mix colors. Her favorite sequence of her colors are always rainbow colors. All the colorful things that she owns must be arranged according to the rainbow color.
Spelling:
My princess has very good memory. It helps her in reading, learning and spelling too. She can spell out the words by phonetics or by her pictorial memory. Previously I did teach her how to grab the spelling skills from 3 letters, 4 letters and 5 letters words. Seems like she has grabbed the technique and feel fun to spell out the words by herself.
Songs that she can sing:
- Rainbow song
- What a wonderful world
- You are my sunshine
- Butterfly
- Minion song
- You raise me up
- Gummy bear songs
etc (she knows how to type and search the songs or video clips she likes from youtube. She has self-learned many songs online.)

.... etc. I think I have to stop listing the books that she had read. I have to agree what my hubby said, vocabulary that she had learn are more important than the number of books she had read. I just keep buying books and don't have the time to list down anymore.
Let me try to recall what are the new words that she has learn:
1) syringe
2) reflex hammer
3) thermometer
4) atmosphere
5) measurement
6) complain
7) introduction
8) accidentally
9) etc
But the problem is, I can't keep track on her vocabulary too. She is good in phonetic so basically she can pronounce all the new words. For all the words that she picks up from the books are uncountable. My girl will read the signboards, notice, advertisement, menu, newspapers, magazines etc whatever words that can be seen by her when we go out. Basically we can't lie to her as she can read many instructions and know what is going on. For example, she will read out the signboard and tell us that's the toy's shop and she wants to go there.
Lately I have bought her many workbooks (Maths, English, Coloring, Chinese, IQ quiz etc) and guide her from time to time. She can read instructions and do the exercises by herself. I told my hubby "Teach your kid how to read, throw a workbook to her and we can have some peace!" :P
Well, it's true. Sometimes I was too lazy to read all the instructions as she can finish one whole workbook in one session. She will correct me if I have taught her wrongly, such as I told her to circle the correct answer but the instruction says to cross out the wrong answer. *sweat. I promised to be more careful next time.
Would like to recommend the books below:
1) Reading Success Moral Story Book Series
- There are 2 stories in a book which comes with some after story exercises. The kid will be able to answer all questions if they understand the story. Total of 10 books in a set. Bilingual (English and Mandarin)
2) BrainQuest Workbooks Series
- Full color workbook which comes with stickers. My daughter just can't stop doing the exercises so that she can earn the stickers behind the book.
- Each book covers many topics. For Pre-K (P) has topics like ABCs, 123s, Phonics, Vocabulary, Shapes and Colors, Sorting and Matching, My World, Science, Fun and Games.
3) SE workbooks and Pelangi workbooks
- There are many types of workbooks for toddler and also kindergarten from these 2 local publishers. The prices are cheap and affordable compare to imported workbooks.
p/s: My princess has stopped using diaper in Sept 2013, that's her 45-month-old greatest progress. I feel so proud of her. ^^

Elmo Loves You
Elmo is a Muppet character on the children's television show Sesame Street.
.jpg)
He is a furry red monster who hosts the last full fifteen minute segment on Sesame Street, Elmo's World, which is aimed at toddlers.
Elmo is self-described as three-and-a-half years old and characteristically avoids pronouns, referring to himself in the third person (e.g. "Elmo has a question" rather than, "I have a question").
My daughter loves Elmo very much. She keeps requesting for Elmo's DVD series. We have many Elmo DVDs for her, including Elmo's World series.
Our princess have Elmo board books set, Elmo story books set, Elmo shoes (Crocs, bought by Aunty Winnie), Elmo t-shirts and Elmo plush toys (given by Aunty Betty). She just feels happy when she sees Elmo. Well, have to say that Elmo is such a cute monster with positive attitude all the time. He is polite, friendly, loving and smart. He has no teeth but big smiley mouth. My princess always request her daddy to draw Elmo on her drawing book. She just never have enough of Elmo.
One day, my daughter and I have such conversation as follow:
daughter: Elmo is a boy. (cuddling with her Elmo plush toy)
me: No. Elmo is a monster.
daughter: Mummy is a monster.
me: .......(speechless)
(Then when my hubby came back from work, once my daughter overheard I told him about the above conversation, she came over and pointed at her daddy.)
daughter: Daddy is THE monster!
hubby: Then who are you?
daughter: I am a robot. (mimicking the sound of the robot)
hubby and I: ....................(speechless)
I believe many parents out there are searching for Elmo's product when they know their children love Elmo. Sometimes I don't know whether I'm the one who is addicted to Elmo or really do all these collection for the sake of my princess.
I found Cookie Monster is quite cute too. He always say, "Me want cookies!" and "Om nom nom nom" (said through a mouth full of food). Other than munching his cookie with his voracious appetite (quite greedy and messy too), he doesn't teach much like Elmo whose characters is often used to reach children with important messages, such as fire safety, potty training etc.
Sesame Street has many cute characters, such as Oscar the grouch, Big Bird, Ernie and Bert, Telly Monster, Abby Caddaby etc. I think I have to admit that I love them too! ^^

My daughter loves Elmo very much. She keeps requesting for Elmo's DVD series. We have many Elmo DVDs for her, including Elmo's World series.
Our princess have Elmo board books set, Elmo story books set, Elmo shoes (Crocs, bought by Aunty Winnie), Elmo t-shirts and Elmo plush toys (given by Aunty Betty). She just feels happy when she sees Elmo. Well, have to say that Elmo is such a cute monster with positive attitude all the time. He is polite, friendly, loving and smart. He has no teeth but big smiley mouth. My princess always request her daddy to draw Elmo on her drawing book. She just never have enough of Elmo.
 |
| Whenever she wears this pair of Elmo shoes, she will walk happily and refused to take off the shoes at the end of the day. -_- |
daughter: Elmo is a boy. (cuddling with her Elmo plush toy)
me: No. Elmo is a monster.
daughter: Mummy is a monster.
me: .......(speechless)
(Then when my hubby came back from work, once my daughter overheard I told him about the above conversation, she came over and pointed at her daddy.)
daughter: Daddy is THE monster!
hubby: Then who are you?
daughter: I am a robot. (mimicking the sound of the robot)
hubby and I: ....................(speechless)
I believe many parents out there are searching for Elmo's product when they know their children love Elmo. Sometimes I don't know whether I'm the one who is addicted to Elmo or really do all these collection for the sake of my princess.
I found Cookie Monster is quite cute too. He always say, "Me want cookies!" and "Om nom nom nom" (said through a mouth full of food). Other than munching his cookie with his voracious appetite (quite greedy and messy too), he doesn't teach much like Elmo whose characters is often used to reach children with important messages, such as fire safety, potty training etc.
Sesame Street has many cute characters, such as Oscar the grouch, Big Bird, Ernie and Bert, Telly Monster, Abby Caddaby etc. I think I have to admit that I love them too! ^^

Ice-cream girl
I believe most of the children love to eat ice-cream. Look at my girl, she is not only enjoying her chocolate ice-cream but also wanted to have a bite of her daddy's vanilla ice-cream. Lol.

Phonics
Try to read the words in the phonics flash card.
According to this phonics way of learning, all the words should end with the same 'ant' sound. For Malaysian readers, do you have any problem with that?
Some of you might find it confusing as this is not what we had been taught in school.
Well, there is no right or wrong. Both are correct as what we Malaysian are learning is British accent, whereas this phonics is following USA accent.
I have to explain to my 3-year-old daughter about this. Since she has to sit for her exam in Malaysia, my hubby said it is better to follow UK accent. Well, I will teach both since her favorite cartoon characters are mostly from USA. Just like I have to tell her "mummy" and "mommy" are both correct spelling too.

Welcoming new buddy in the car - Big Bird
I have bought another Sesame Street character - Big Bird for my princess. She was overjoyed when I passed to her after school. For the first time, I heard her giggling and communicate with her Cookie Monsters and Big Bird together. Their imaginary friends really kept her accompany.
Children's laughter is always my best medicine! Love you, my dear!

Spelling Game
Opened up another new box of Spelling game for her today. There are 3-letter and 4-letter words with picture puzzle to play with. It's quite confusing especially when my girl tried to play according to the spelling letters, not looking at the picture or color. As when all the words are mixed up, there are many same letters but for different puzzle pieces. So I taught her a skill to look at both letters and picture/color. She cope pretty well and learn how to solve it accordingly. She spells all words with phonics.
It's pretty tiring to finish the whole box in one go but I had pushed her to the limit by using her favorite chocolate cookies to lure her. She agreed to finish the whole box without any complain for the reward. Hehe!

Mr.Potato Man 2
After placing Mr.Potato Man on my princess's writing table for a week, she has finally accepted him.
She took it to the bed and started dismantle and tried to fix it by herself after she did some coloring in the afternoon.
I feel so happy. At least I needn't throw or give this new toy away now. Victory! ^^

First Paint Brush Salty Art
An artwork of my princess in the school. First time for her to use the "real" paintbrush and watercolor+salt. Interesting science session.
The teacher told me she did it without any teacher's help. I think she has been well-trained by the iPad app at home. Mixing color like a true artist! Lol.

Robot Toy (Gustogale)
My sister-in-law gave my girl this new robot toy to explore. It was kept in the toy box for several months as I didn't know when is the suitable time for her to play it.
My girl took this toy out and requested to open several times when she was digging her toy box for the past few months. I told her to wait and wait as I am not good in fixing robot. Hoping to wait for her father who might be 'better' in such robotic toy.
Today she took the toy and asked me to open it again. Her persistence is something I felt that I shouldn't turn down. So I have granted her wish.
To my surprise, she loves this robot! It's not that difficult to fix at all. There's a key where all parts will get dismantle once you insert in the key hole and turn clockwise.
A toy which I will not buy but surprisingly she prefers this robot to Mr.Potato Man which I bought the other day. T.T
I wonder how long will she love this robot.

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

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*)
The sentences that amazed me:
1) This is a vegetarian dinosaur.
2) We are family. We are bonding.
3) I am watching the credits.
4) Maybe we can do this together!
5) Hmmm....I think you are right!
6) (Pointing at the thermometer which I was pressing here and there to check the battery) You are suppose to put that in your ear.
7) This is too much!
8) Let's read together.
9) I want to drink some more milk.
10) This is amazing!
11) Eureka!
12) Marvelous!
13) Fantastica!
14) A short conversation:
me: What are you doing?
gal: I am making doughnut. (using iPad)
me: What do you use?
gal: A rolling pin to make a square and cut them in circle. Now it's time to fry them!
15) What color/shape do you like?
16) This is for you, mummy. Let's share!
17) Oh no! I have stomachache! I need medicine.
18) Cookie monsters loves to eat cookies. I love to eat cookies too!

22) I want to eat chocolate cake from Secret Recipe, mummy.
p/s: I am sorry that I couldn't upload all the books pictures with detail description like what I did last time. Using the mobile blogger app is inconvenient in certain ways as it doesn't allow such act. Netbook is down for a long time. Maybe it's time to get a new one?! (looking for sponsor. Haha!)

-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*)
