Colors

A child's color awareness develops around 18 months. If a child receives proper guidance and help from the parents, it becomes very easy for him to recognize colors. 
  
Ways to help your child recognize colors :- 

1) Buying toys that have bright colors. Showing different toys or objects of same color so that he can recognize the color family easily.

2) Start with teaching the primary colors like red, yellow and blue, and later adding the secondary colors. 

3) Talk about colors in your daily routine, for example, "I have a red ball" or "Will you wear a yellow shirt or a black shirt?"

4) Point and show as many different colors to your little one as possible. Take him to park and show green plants, red flowers etc. Walk on zebra crossing to show white and black stripes.

5) Play color games. Let your child play with colorful blocks and ask him to point different colors while he plays.

6) Have a red-week or green-week, where you teach your child only one color throughout the week. Repetition will definitely help.

These methods will definitely help to make your child's little world colorful.

Ramayana, line drawings.

When my sister, Krupa, asked me to illustrate the Ramayana story that she had retold for our blog, I could not come up with any authentic illustrations. But then I tried imagining the story from a child's view and came up with these funny line drawings. But for those who have not heard of the Ramayana, please read this post and then come back to enjoy these drawings.

At

I almost forgot to write about the words from the 'at' family.

Following our usual study pattern, write down the letters 'at' in colored ink on a flash card. Then, write down individual consonants as b, c, f, h, m, p, r, s and t on separate flash cards. After doing so, place the 'b' flash card in front of the 'at' card and read aloud the word, 'bat'.

b + at = bat

Now, replace the 'b' flash card with the 'c' flash card to make the word 'cat'. Say it aloud several times, till your child is able to blend 'c' and 'at' sounds to make word 'cat'.

c + at = cat

This excercise should be repeated with all the listed consonants and by the end of this excercise, your child should be able to read these words with ease :

Bat






Cat





Fat






Hat






Mat






Pat






Rat






Sat






Sight words for the day:

Have
Is
With
My
Fell
For

Give

Silly story for the day:

I have a cat.
He is Zat.
Zat is a fat cat.
Zat sat with my hat.
The hat fell on the rat.
The rat sat on the mat.
Zat ran for the rat with the bat.
Give Zat a pat.
Zat is my cat.

Worksheet for At family:






Next week, as promised, we will read stories from the 'A' family and will solve worksheets.

Wishing you all a very Happy Diwali.
