When Alycia and Sherilyn’s interest in flash cards were waning early this year, I found it really hard to hold their attention when I flashed the cards to them. I was practically forcing, bribing and my temper flared too. I decided the flash cards needed a respite for a few months and kept all of them.
Several days ago whilst rummaging the drawer, Alycia dug out the boxes of flash cards and asked me to read to her. I gladly read to the gals during breakfast and I also took the opportunity to teach them phonics. Alycia’s reading has improved slightly over the last few days as I have intensified the reading program with her. I’ve also resumed the Peter & Jane series books with her. Her interest in reading is still not as enthusiastic as I would want it to be but she’s definitely improving.Â

eh so good yr girls..kwai kwai sit and read. mine? tear alll edi!
Oh well, my kids stopped those flash cards for some time, they have been sticking to a few books for the past few weeks. As long as the kids are willing to read, I don’t mind taking in whatever books they want. But for phonics I only use ants on the apple since my kids are still very young.
I think I got to dig out those cards as well. 😛

Hi Shireen, I also faced the same problem with flash cards too. I have stopped it since Sean at 18 mths. Since then, I compiled all those cards into a DIY books, so that we can read together. But, he still loves to read whatever books that he can gets hold of including the DIY books I made for him. I have been teaching him Phonics for 6 mths now. He can recites A-Z and recognize some of the Phonics. You can try to do some DIY Phonics book too.
