A while ago I designed a calendar to start to learn the days of the week, the months and the numbers. It also helps Boas to know how long he has to wait (or how many nights to sleep) before something special will happen.
We've been practising words since 1,5 week now and Boas really enjoys it! I'm amazed at the pace he learns to recognise words. The first week he just watched the flashcards and enjoyed it, but after that he realised that he could actually use his new 'knowledge'. Since then he's even more focused and is so eager to see and learn the daily new words.
What we do now is this. We have three sets of flashcards with five words. 3 times a day (at least that's what we try) we show them each word of one set. Which, for the lazy multiplier, makes 9 sessions a day. It's interesting to see that Boas tells us (or shouts) the words he knows even before we can pronounce them. So without testing him, we notice that he really learns to read them! We also participate Fera in this. She is less interested yet, but we just keep going and we'll see what see picks up!
This week I read 'Rim en Tim naar zee' for Boas, which is one of Jos' old readingbooks. And Boas and I were so proud that he recognised quite some words! Mam, Pap, koek ... and some more. After this experience he's even more motivated.
Sometimes it can be quite a challenge to let Boas take his afternoon nap. He can do without pretty well, now, so sometimes we keep him awake on purpose. (If we need a long, quiet evening :-) ) But there are still days that he is so tired from everything life gives him, that he is eager to nap. And it's a special treat if mummy says: This afternoon you can take your nap on the couch! Is there a better place in the house? (I still prefer my bed, but, who am I anyway?;-) )
