Parents' Guide to Creating Early Readers at Home

26/03/2024

Don't send your kids to school unprepared to recognise a single word. In our Center, we create early readers. This way, a child is taught to independently study his lessons at an early age.

We are now accepting 3 years old for our day care session.

We offer reading classes also. Have your children ready to face their kindergarten or primary level by making them early readers.

Come June, our Center will conduct reading activities for free. You can message here if you want your child to join. This will be every Saturday only.

We are also offering voice, piano and violin lessons.

Please private message this account for the details. Or you can visit our center at B10 Lot19 Jakarta St Ph1 Lessandra Camella Bucandala 4 Imus

We let the child have in-between pauses, so that he could process what he's gonna say as he recalls scenes in the story.

That's how beautiful having study time with kids through literature reading, too. They are full of emotions that they'd not waver to express them instantly when asked to deliver the scenes in the story.

The Litany of Mother Hira 😅

And so I go by the name of Nagger Nagger today.

Mommies, if we continue to be silent when our children are being remiss of their responsibilities at home, what do you think are we as mothers?

Today, I delivered my litany non-stop. We've got lots of art materials, books and toys. The rule is to make every corner as tidy as possible by putting back things in its location. More than one week and the mother's patience seems to reach Mount Olympus already. When it does, I tell you, it is scarier than Mt. Mayon.

Yesterday I had my Charlotte Mason's guide to parenting. If I may quote it here, 5th - as the bad habit usually arises from the defect of some quality in the child it should not be difficult for the parent who knows his child's character to introduce the contrary good habit; 6th - take a moment of happy confidence between parent and child; introduce by take or example, the stimulating idea; get the child's will with you.

Wrong approach again. But here, the little guy is cleaning.

Journaling - one of the activities Aarron usually engages in after an adventure. Sometimes, when he feels like jotting down his thoughts after a playtime with friends.

This habit teaches a child to express, formulate his thoughts, construct good sentences, master the use of punctuations, and enrich his vocabulary.

I'll never stop chasing what matters most.
I'll never stop spying for what's better and best.
I'll search the world how to live happily until I find it though the world is vast.
I'll keep praying for world peace, good and honest politicians, & good governance.
I'll keep praying for a healthy planet and healthy 'us' in the family, that includes the family where the blood of my veins flows just the same.
I'll keep remembering that from the dust we are and to dust we shall return - so that I must only seek those that give their utmost value to life.
I'll put every potential to full bloom.
I'll never stop chasing the stars until I see that the dawn glimmers with smiles and the overlays are full of joy.
I'll push 'courage' to always withstand the thorns that grow my way.
I'll keep strengthening my bones so that I can walk the valleys of hope.
I'll keep refining my heart so that it can always feel how the hearts around beat, thus makes it reasonably sensible.
I'll read more so that my brain may understand better the flaws I detest, the facts I adore, the people I hate and the people I love.

Life is about how we want to evolve. The more simple we seek for the stuff to add to life, the more simple it becomes.

Life has to grow merrily. Let's fill out every chapter with the best of the best regardless of the challenges we have in our midst.

Life has to be brave. Hope must never die down how feeble we have become.

Life is about creating a beautiful story amidst the storms, because the storms can't be plucked away. They are part of the concoction of human life.

Life is about God and the prayers we seek from Him. It must be on top of the list.

As we wait for 2024 to commence, palitan niyo na po ang kalendaryo niyo at sa bawat numero nito ay inyong isulat "sisimulan kong masaya ang bawat araw ko at ako'y magtatagumpay sa bawat naisin ko."

Cheers!

This is a beginning reading guide which could help parents to introduce to their preschoolers the basic approach to reading. It has short stories with illustrations so the child will enjoy their early journey to reading.

Anything or (anyone) that is heavy to bear is toxic.

As we move forward and plan our days for 2024, let's start to magnify ourselves by discarding anything or (anyone) that causes blur vision to our journey. May we all walk with less baggage both in our hearts and minds, less baggage in terms of the tangible aspects of living such as furniture, cutleries, clothing, etc. so that we can 'walk light' all throughout the year and in the coming years.

And as we guide our children as they face the world, please be reminded that we model as we guide. We model as we teach. Let's not overwhelm them of the world's excesses. Overwhelm them of your love and respect they deserve.

Let's declutter, detach and delete. That's for our own sanity. Let's focus what is essential to our mental health. ☺️

Let's get ready for 2024!

So, how do you people huddle during and after Christmas? ☺️

Do you know that we have this 'surrender to me your gadget' rule when I see that having them in a day is excessive?

Do you know that I always break the rule, because I always end up holding my phone all day long while doing something?

So, what's modelling in a family? I call it 'modelling'. 😃 It is when we all have to put down our gadgets, so that no one shall break the rule.

Because parents lead by example.

I'm guilty of it, too - the yelling when the toys are all around the place, the never-ending saga of blabbing to make the area clutter-free. You see, when our days consumed us from house chores to earning, the latter part of the day is burnt out and we are left with nothing, but altered temper. So, we have to think of something that would neutralize our mood - and that something has to be a habit. Though I fail most of the time, yet I work hard to remember that they will not always be so little. The mess and all we shall miss.

Let's embrace our children's nature - to play and to play with mess around.

Happy HOLIDAYS!

Hugging every MAMA out there who are juggling every bit of motherhood to survive. You are all loved! 😘

Good stories mold a child's brain toward values formation aside from comprehension.

The very foundation to creating early learners.

Let's allow our children to enjoy their toys. Dati, upset ako kapag toys are cluttered. Ngayong they're growing up, when toys are all fixed and kept, nararamdaman ko na parang may kulang sa araw ko kaya gusto ko silang naglalaro Ng laruan nila. Besides, an naman ang buhay muna nila bilang bata.

Ang bilis ng panahon. Madaming bagay na ginagawa na ng mga anak ko nang kusa. Organizing the contents of our ref, dusting off the stairs, washing the dishes, folding clean clothes, fixing mess in the room. And when I reckon, I used to dread the part where I thought I couldn't sit comfortably, because the piles of chores didn't seem to lessen. Well, I'm wrong. Now, I'm faced with the fact that I should pray harder so they won't change and carry the habit until forever.

What I fear now. Oh, the choosing of peers. They say how arrogant to choose people to surround your children. It's not about wealth. It's not about power. It's about the positive influence these people will do to our kids. Though I believe that a child who has a strong foundation is able to withstand bad behaviours, I still believe that constant companions should possess behaviours worth emulating. So, as we choose good books, we choose good people to surround our kids with, too. They must go hand in hand.

This is Aarron. He is now six years old. I started introducing him to books while still in my tummy up until now. He learned to read early. His comprehension is quite beautiful. Here, he talked about Math. Confidence is developing. This is because he has something to say that he is not afraid to speak in front of other people.

Read together with your children. Discuss together. Buy good books. When the parents make an effort to study with their kids, they develop into good readers. A habit is formed, too.
