I personally think it’s important to allow kids to grow and learn at their own pace. That’s why I don’t sign my boys up for any “extra” classes at school. And there are tons.
Math tutoring for toddlers, additional language courses for kids, intensive reading training…
Because of my approach of letting my babies do their own thing, Sulaiman can now read and write at the age of 3 (because he loves academics), while Ayub was only just able to identify individual letters of the alphabet a few months ago at the age of 6 (he prefers drawing, building and creating things).
Now that Sulaiman can read, his whole world is opening up. He can get lost in the imagination of a fictional world; see, feel and live through the characters on the page; and begin creating stories of his own. I’m excited for Ayub to have this too because he’s naturally such a creative person. If he had an outlet to express that creativity through words, I think it would do wonders him.
I’m not a fan of after-school tuition. But I love the idea of teaching the kids through easy and fun methods that not only help them learn but also provides a great way to bond with them.
So here are some online programs I found that will help your little one read and write 🙂
