Hi my self sonal from India your video is very helpful to teach my son lot of thanks

[@borealcottontail6093]

This is so helpful! Thank you so much. My son is almost 6 and has adhd. He has been struggling so much, I am going to try this tomorrow. I think this will take a lot of the stress away

[@sarahfishleigh8471]

If he is resistant, just start with a really small amount, like even half a page so he realises it is really attainable and make it routine, every day. I think we resist things we feel we aren't good at and fear failure so if he sees he is awesome at it and it is really easy it will give him that confidence to really progress.

@@sarahfishleigh8471 we did the first letters today and he did great. Hes playing minecraft for a bit now and then we are going to try the curly c and what not. I got him to hold his marker properly by using a fat short marker like the one your little one was using and it seems to be helping

[@naziaiburney2632]

My kid is writing mirror images in eng and hindi alphabets , also in maths. I am trying my best to help him. Pls suggest if you have any ideas...

[@sksingha7798]

It is really so nice

[@andreaobeng-appiah4308]

Thanks sooo much for sharing. I love the confidence your lil one is displaying with his wrtting skills! "that one is easy for me!" It really demystifies teaching my son to write. Even though we managed to get my son to read and speak well, has mild autism, so struggles with his fine motor skills in particular. This will definitely help him strengthen his writing skills. ummm, I think you did forget the letter 'd' :D would that be better after practicing 'a' as well?

[@sarahfishleigh8471]

Yep definitely, d seems to be quite difficult, sometimes better to wait until after they have learnt how to write g, q 9 etc.

@@sarahfishleigh8471 oh wow. Thank you very much for this video. Trying so hard to teach my 3yr old daughter to write but she's struggling. Thank you for the tips.

[@sarahfishleigh8471]

Yep after a is good time for d. Great to hear it helps 🙂

She was nervous of reading at the start - reluctant of being mistaken. Yet just after 2 months followed this reading guide “Wamzοzο Loli” (Gοοgle it), she has started starter novels as well as reads through herself! It’s extraordinary to see the outcome and results of the training. The program is ideal for any age level... .

[@marqueviusezell]

It`s already been 12 months ever since we began reading guidebook “Wamzοzο Loli” (Gοοgle it). My child is developing her learning skills until now. Right now, she can now read a few books. In addition to that, she’s a great speller also. What’s even more interesting is she can construct sentences today.. .

I am researching to start teaching my children to read and write as my 3.5 year old is showing interest. I am genuinely curious why holding a pencil a certain way is so important. I struggled with this throughout my early days in school and had teachers do everything from scold me mercilessly to taping my hand and fingers into position. Ultimately, they gave up around 3rd grade as I just never got it. To this day I find it painful to "write correctly" and I think this was the biggest reason it failed for me. I write exhaustively, and do so in a similar hand position yo the "correct" one but the pen is down on the 3rd finger instead of held by the middle. Again this is a pain thing for me. My daughter holds a pen more naturally than I. Thank you for your input and wonderful video.

[@sarahfishleigh8471]

I guess a s long as you can write legibly and without getting a cramp for an exam period of time it is fine.

[@KiaraTorrence7]

Omg my son he just turn four and is struggling with writeing the number one. I was wondering do you have any other tips about teaching a child to write. By the way this video is awesome.

[@KiaraTorrence7]

It's even hard for him to hold his pencil.

[@sarahfishleigh8471]

What we call practical life activities are great for developing the fine motor skills, things like using pegs, tweezers, anything small and fiddly! www.pinterest.com.au/smartstart313/practical-life-activities-from-smart-start-perth/ Lots of ideas on our pinterest board or just google practical life. Puzzles with knobs, lego, drawing area all great. Breaking up bits of chalk so they are really small and letting your son draw on the driveway/ sidewalk etc. is also a great way as they are forced to hold it correctly because the chalk isn't big enough to hold any other way.

[@omogenaija1]

What kind of crayons are those? I realy need help with teaching my son to hold his pencil correctly. Please help.

[@sarahfishleigh8471]

These are just the thick crayola ones, they might not be the best to be honest, but they could be easier for a little one to hold and give them confidence.

Loved the video❤️❤️how old is your son ??

Whats the age of the baby?

My little princess and I also took the Stage One of this specific “Wamzοzο Loli” (Gοοgle it) reading manual in 3 months and another 3 weeks. I observed a few improvements on the reading skill of my very own little princess. I keep plenty of cash and do not need to enroll my young daughter in a few of the expensive reading course for youngsters... .
