Its just January and it already rained the other day. Well, it surely brought joy to the farmers who are currently planting in the field because sometimes water irrigation is a problem. Here are some snapshots the other day.....

Teaching Kids to Read
My kindergarten daughter is learning how to read already. One time when we arrived home from school, she surprised me by showing her paper with three letter words written on it. Then she read the words one by one. It is always a joy seeing our kids progress from whatever they do.
There are skills that help our kid's ability to read. And teaching them these skills are necessary to improve their reading. Parents play a vital role in developing these skills. Apart from acquiring these skills at school, learning should always takes place at home too. Our kids spend the longest hour at home than school. They should make the best out of those times by studying with us parents at their side.
One of the skills needed to improve reading is the auditory skill. Kids should learn to distinguish sounds, hear rhyming words and recall association of the letter and the sound it makes. Use flash cards to keep your kids more interested and they will learn the best through visual aids aside from just hearing them.
Rhyming words also help develop kid's ability to read. Choose a simple word like fan then encourage them to think of words which has the same sound. That way, it also stimulate their memory.
According to Edward Fry Ph.D. in his book "How to Teaching Reading: For Teachers, Parents, Tutors" discusses a reading technique which helps beginning readers improve their skills. To use his technique, select a short passage in an easy book. Read the section to your child twice, then read the section together two times and finally sit by your child as they read the section back to you. This method gives your child confidence and the opportunity to see the words, hear the words and then read the words.
Also help your kids improve their comprehension skills. Read with them then ask questions after.

Here I am Again
I said to myself not to overly whine at certain things as it will only lead to stress and bad vibes. However, I could not resist nor shake off the thoughts that's in my head. It becomes worse even more as time goes by especially when triggered by annoying actions from someone I expect to change.
I will not mention names.
Here I am again *expecting* when I said again that I should not expect anymore or I should expect less. How could I not expect when I know change is a must! When I know I'm doing my part to change too?
I just feel its unfair in my part.No, that's not being too selfish when I said my "part". Because I know that it should be reciprocated.
Well, I guess... I guess its time to really not expect anymore. And I hope there's an easy way to do that too...
*sigh*
