HAAGEN DAZS

Last day of the 3-day school holiday.  We went window shopping at AEON Bukit Tinggi, Klang.  The girls got themselves a storybook each.  We had some ice cream before heading back.

IN THE LIBRARY

I try to bring the girls to the local library on Saturdays.  They just love being there... with lots of story books...

Reading tips from Reading with Infants, Toddlers and Preschoolers 

"Expose your little one to as many words as possible FROM BIRTH by talking, pointing out details of the world, and reading books OF ALL KINDS.  Remember, children who have never heard certain words, seen those words, or come into context with them, can have difficulty knowing what those words mean (or how to spell them) once they begin school and new words and concepts are presented in books and lessons everyday."
