๐ฉ โMy child is good in Englishโฆ so why is BM still so hard for them to read?โ
And even more worrying, they start to avoid Bahasa Melayu altogether.
Actually, this is very common in many Chinese-speaking families. BM is not often used at home, so children donโt get enough exposure.
Itโs not that theyโre not smart, they just donโt have enough practice
with the language.
So what happens over time:
๐ They feel scared to read BM passages
โ They read slowly and struggle to understand questions
๐ They can recognize words, but donโt understand full sentences
After facing this again and again, they lose confidenceโฆ and slowly start to avoid BM.
Many parents focus on spelling and essay writing first.
But actually, the real foundation is ๐๐ฎ๐ค๐ฎ ๐๐๐ญ๐ , learning how letters form sounds.
When children are strong in ๐๐ฎ๐ค๐ฎ ๐๐๐ญ๐ :
โ
Reading becomes smoother
โ
Understanding becomes easier
โ
Confidence improves
โ
They are more willing to try BM
