Flash card sharing

Just for sharing..

When my boy was about 10 months old, i did some flash cards for him. And, of course a baby can't sit still to read or look at my flash cards but crawling around the spaces that he was able to move to. Few times i'm almost fed up and feel myself like a stupid mummy who flash to the air only, but i'd read thru some tips, never give up and although they didn't 'look' at the cards but they do 'hear' and just read as much as you can, their brain can capture the words or sounds. At first i don't really believe as i think he is only an infant, will it be that fast to teach him, but because i am a full time mummy, other than playing toys with him, i read flash cards, books to him for fun after i'd done my chores at home.
Now, he is 4 years old, i can see the benefits of the flash cards and reading when he was about 2 years old. He can remember the words i read to him, he can easily pick up too.

I stopped flashing to him when the sister give birth and continue them back when the sister was 1 yr old (now she is 2 years old) And, same goes to the sister, her memory, her language are good. She can speak in 13mths, and speak in sentence around 15mths.
Due to the brother, the sister has the same habit too, both of my kids can sit in front of the book shelf, reading by themselves now. For me, is doesn't matter they can read the words or understand the story book, all i want is the habit of reading and it is needed to start when they were small.

The picture show some of the flash cards i did for them. And i hope many more coming but mummy is lack of topic currently. I got to do some homework. Haha😀
