 Parents and caregivers can encourage children to draw more often - visual representations are part of the note-taking process. The children have to consolidate what they learn and represent it in a graphic form. While learning idioms and proverbs, mere rote learning is ineffective. Allow the children to make diagrams or pictures based on the meaning of idioms and proverbs. They can make a simple picture, or a more advanced comic story.
We can also use a simple multiple choice quiz format to review the idioms and proverbs. Typically, these are fixed vocabulary phrases, hence our young learners need to become familiar with the words used. In a multiple choice quiz format, we can encourage language play - the learners often find that an error in the phrase is quite funny! Eventually they will figure out the correct answer. #G1 #G2 #G3 #singapore #bukitpanjang #senja #teacher #NIE #MOE #reading #writing #tutor #private #tuition #English #creative #storytelling #lessons #psle #ib #ip #workshops #phonics #kindergarten #kids #esl #homebased #homeschooling #languagearts #language

How do we review vocabulary from the stories we had read? To better commit the words to memory, my student was tasked to make her own crossword puzzle. She had to check the dictionary for the meanings, then she formed the clues. She also had to figure out how to arrange the words on the crossword, which meant working out the spelling and letter sequence. With some editing and fine-tuning, each student's crossword puzzle can be used to help other students to learn the relevant vocabulary. #G1 #G2 #G3 #singapore #bukitpanjang #senja #teacher #NIE #MOE #reading #writing #tutor #private #tuition #English #creative #storytelling #lessons #psle #ib #ip #workshops #phonics #kindergarten #kids #esl #homebased #homeschooling #languagearts #language  Join us for a story writing workshop, outdoor edition! This is conducted by a former school teacher, who loves listening and sharing story ideas with everyone. Let's learn how to write in a more friendly and welcoming atmosphere. 6 September 2023 Wednesday (Backup date: 7 September) The registration link is at https://view.forms.app/getitrightsg/writingworkshop #singapore #bukitpanjang #senja #holiday #workshop #primaryschool #programme #writing #storytelling #creative  Every book in my hands gets flipped through multiple times, as I ask myself, what kind of authentic learning can we get from this book? I am also often inspired to try different activities with the same books I had used in previous years. Today we had a lot of fun using a story I had used with last year's 8-year-olds, but with a refreshed lesson concept. This year's learners read the story with me and in response, wrote a diary entry of the main character. I also suggested using one of the book illustrations as a base for the diary sketch. Thinking about how to phrase the diary entry got us discussing the use of adverbs and how the word 'finally' can be in different positions in a sentence. This got us doing a grammar point sketch - see the flexible Finally Character in the top right hand corner? Writing does not have to be a chore all the time. A simple start is better than none at all. Teacher Libing runs phonics workshops for parents and caregivers, as well as English Language lessons for children, teens and adult learners.

He is 8 years old. He has been working very hard on using phonics to read. Recently he has moved on to digraphs (2 vowel letters together). From our list of words with 'ai' and 'oa' sounds, he spun a wheel to pick 2 words. I used the 2 words to form a sentence. Then he read and drew a sketch for the sentence. Through this activity, he practised reading words with digraphs and was able to translate the text into a pictorial form, which showed reading comprehension.
There are various ways to use this activity with our learners, whether they are homeschooling or in a full school.
