Most of the words she pick up from our daily reading of Eric Carle book. The first words and animals.

There are some other words that Misys understands but unable to pronounce such as caterpillar (she is able to say pillar only) and rooster (she can point at the picture but not able to pronounce). It's ok as as we go along, she will pick it up. Shall record when she is able to add "s" into her vocab.

My New Words

Today ( 1 week before 18th month old ) Missy can say the following new words:

1. pain pain with ouch - when she scratch herself or we pretend play

2. open - when she wants us to open bottle/cap

3. go go - direct us to go somewhere

4. thanks - minus the 's'

5. bed - her bed

6. apple - she can say it very precisely, maybe cos we always give her apple juice and also sing the ants on the apple song

7. Plea aka please
We always insist she say please before we give her things, she has since pick up this word and again without the 's'

shall record when have more..way to go my girl !

Phonics

I bought the phonics Ants on the Apple songs and CD last year from the online Montessoru shop. Play for Missy but she does not seem to stay on for the whole CD. usually she is interested only for the first few alphabets with me and the pictures in the book came along with the CD.

Jenny feedback to me that the CD works for her son who is turning 4 this year. So i guess must be effective ?

thus, instead of playing the CD. i just sing the tune to her. This is much more effective actually.the tune is "Skip to my Lou"

A:
Ants on the apple "a a a"
Ants on the apple "a a a"
Ants on the apple "a a a"

"a" is the sound of "A"

B:
Balls are bouncing " b b b"
Balls are bouncing " b b b"
Balls are bouncing " b b b"

"b' is the sound of "B"

i introduce two alphabets first. so not to confuse her at this stage.

when i sing "a" she will follow with "a a a" and when i ask her "a" if the sound of ? she will sometimes reply with "A"

when i sing balls are bouncing .. she will " b b b".. and she will say "b" is the sound of "B"

but sometimes she mixed up.. when i ask her "a" is the sound of ? she will reply "B".. haaa.. anyway, we are having fun with the songs instead. while learning without she knowing it.

Great right ?
