We always think that Zara is advance with her speech development, but come to her penmanship, we were getting a bit worried.<\/p>\n

She could write numbers, but not alphabets. I thought her to remember my mobile number (just in case she need to use that info one day) by singing my number to her, “ZERO ONE doot, doot dooot doooot, doot dooot doot dooot (*censored*) mummy’s telephone.”<\/span> to the tune of Twinkle-twinkle Little Star repeatedly. <\/p>\n

She could recite\/sing out the number quite a while back and a month ago started writing them on papers. Woooooot!<\/p>\n

During the 1 week school holidays, I got her to start practicing to write the letters A, R, Z. Although she can recognise the letters, she had difficulty remembering how to write them. <\/p>\n

To make her remember the stroke of the letters, I have to say,
\nA is like a tippee
\nR is like half a lollypop which is wearing a skirt (P = half a lollypop; that strokes -> |\\ is a skirt); if the skirt is too tight, the lollypop will not be able to walk, if the skirt is too wide, the lollypop is making a split.
\nand
\nZ is a lightning, or a zig zag.<\/p>\n

It may not make sense to others, but she use that info and started practicing, and on the 2nd day, she managed to write her own name. Wooooooot!!<\/p>\n

And then we also started seeing her putting more details in her drawing. Woooooooot!<\/p>\n

This is one of her work. Our family with her ‘signature’. I guess you can kind of make out who is who.<\/p>\n
