Time to teach

1st July, first day of a new month. It shall be the day I start to teach 妹妹. I have wasted too much time already. I’ll be using the flash cards method. I have prepared a few new sets of flash cards. Just can’t seem to locate the soft copies of some cards I did for 哥哥. Maybe I just have to spend time redoing it again.

Anyway, this is how I do it. I will start with 3 sets of 10 cards each (30 cards). Although, my friend said it should be at least 5 sets (50 cards). I can increase later.

The sets are categoried by subjects, Shapes, Colours, etc. Each card has picture printed on one side and word on the back. I will flash the word, said the word and turn it around to show the picture. Once I am done with one set, I will mark on the schedule sheet so I can keep track of the no. of times I have shown my daughter. I will try to show the cards 2 times for 15 days. That means a total of 30 times for each set. Once I reach 30 times, I change to another set.

You can test you child at the end of the whole session. Show him/her 2 cards, eg, Square and Circle. Then ask him/her to pick up Square. See if it works. I taught 妹妹 when she was 6 mths, using Flash Cards. I showed her, Body Part, Number, Days, Months. These were without pictures. When I ask her to pick up a card, 90% she was correct. I must be determine to continue for my daughter’s sake.
