Alif Ba Ta and Bawan(g)

Finally after 4 months, I managed to change Sa'eed's birthday ticker...heh..talk about procrastination huh.

Anyways, Sa'eed has successfully completed his lessons in capitalized ABCs. Later we'll start lessons on small letters. For the capital letters, he sometimes confuses J with L and E with F. He's also having some trouble with W. As for numbers, formal lessons have yet to begun, but he can count up to 5 and match it with the number of fingers.

Now we're moving on to Alif Ba Ta. Made a powerpoint presentation of the Alif Ba Ta two days ago and that's currently how we're teaching him. I'm also looking for the big chart of Alif Ba Ta but can't seem to find it. If you happen to see it in a shop somewhere, holler here ey.

The first time we showed him the powerpoint, he already recognizes a few letters, which to me is kinda impressive. Maybe coz he's watching that dubbed Arabic cartoon which teaches Arabic. It's on Astro Oasis at 5, I think. But one funny story: When we arrived at the letter Ha pusing/pintal (you know, the round one) he confidently said BAWAN(G)...hehe. Good to know he knows his veges. Currently he can't pronounce the NG sound yet.

As for 'Aatikah, she's cruising away and want to stand all the time. She can already fight for things with Sa'eed and will leash out her high pitched voice. Sa'eed on the other hand will keep on saying no no no no. 'Aatikah will always get all giddy and excited whenever Sa'eed is around and Sa'eed never fails to entertain her. Except for when one is bawling over something, the other one will just stare.

It's nice to see the relationship that those two kids are building. I'm sure there will be catfights and doors slamming in the future. But I do hope they stay close to one another like they are now.

ummi sa'eed said...

Sarah: yeah, Sa'eed gets confused too with the dots. Bunyi dah ade..heh

sera_s: hehe...sebab dia tgh tgk aunty Q time aku amik gambar!

jamie: yup! that's the one. secara formal, i ngan abah dia ajar. informally aunty2, bibik dan nyang dia ajar...heh.

memula start dgn nyanyi2 ABC tu without looking at the letters. bila dia dah tau nak pronounce all the letters, baru slowly introduce him to the letters.

rilek la...takyah rush rush nak ajar baca la, mengira la, enjoy the time masa derang kecik2 ni.
