Proud of My Nephew

My nephew was given 3 special awards and a bronze medal for a meritorious award last Sunday at the CAP Auditorium during the Recognition Ceremony of his school Exegesis School of Davao.

He received awards for: Most Reliable, Most Thoughtful and Best in Reading. I am proud that my effort last summer of giving him tutorials and teaching him how to read paid off now that he is already very good at reading compared to other kids his age. It was good that he was trained of the phonetic sounds when he was still in Nursery.

As a tip to mothers who want to teach their kids to read, I would suggest that they start with the phonetic sounds then follow it up with A, E, I, O, U. After teaching them the vowel sounds, teach them by combining it to the consonants, meaning let them read ba be bi bo bu, da de di do du, fa fe fi fo fu, ga ge gi go gu, and so on… then slowly teach them to read words by combining it like SOFA, PAPA… it would of course be good if you buy a small blackboard and play with the kid so that they will enjoy while you are teaching them.

I made my 5-year old nephew read this post.. and below is the video of him while reading this blog post:
