En picked a Roald Dahl book, "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator" and read on her own last night, before bed. Few pages. This morning, she continued reading the book for 10 minutes. I was almost in tears, seeing her attempting to read such a thick book for the first time :)
Left-She slots a furry ostrich as bookmark. En @ 5years & 10months old.
Right-The moment En woke up, she looked for her books, @14months.
En recognised and read simple words around 2. I used flashcards when she was about 1+, following a book How to Teach Your Baby to Read (Gentle Revolution)
. I also read aloud story books. She loves books. Every night, we read almost 30 books or more! After Hui was born (En was 3years old), I hardly have time to read to her. :( I point to signs and read for her when we are outside, eg "Toilet", "Hospital". When there is a chance, I read the phonic sound of a letter. It's not done in a structured manner. Whatever way we use, it has to be in a joyful manner but not with the intention to teach children to read. Otherwise, the whole thing will be spoiled and not fun anymore.
