Scissors starts with …

Recently we were helping our 3.5yr old son with his school homework (yes homework, my goodness!)
We were basically searching for items that start with the letters that were assigned for the given week.
Our little son has caught on a little of this “game” and started suggesting things that starts with the assigned letters. Of course he doesn’t know how to spell words yet. But the way he (and I suppose other kids as well) is learning is interesting and sometimes …cute.
An example is this declaration one day…”I know papa, scissors start with “C”!” (Get it? “C”sers)
We have a long way to go..:)

That’s why I don’t teach my children the name of alphabets but rather the phonic sounds. It’s easier for them to learn how to read when the know the sounds. Teaching them the letter names just confuses them further.
Huh.. got homework already?! It’s always parents homework too.. Haa..
Well, I better don’t laugh. I know my time is coming soon..
Lian – guess I have to learn phonics too since I haven’t learnt it myself! LOL
Moon – crazy right? But I suppose it is up to us parents to make it fun for them so that they don’t feel it is “work”….easy to say…hahaha
