Develop children's literature skill.

Hello my fellow friends and my dearest lecturer Cik Dzeelfa,

A huge apology for posting this late. Very late. As i promised you that i will come back after having something from the module. The first thing i read from the module was a section from  'the module writer', Dr. Vethamani
a President of MELTA, she has done extensive research in the area of teaching literature in English to promoting English language learning among our students.  This is of course needs teachers to prepare themselves with effective teaching methodology so that students benefit from the lesson .  Despite teacher's effort, i think parent also play important roles in their children's learning.
Last month, i have read an article by Marie Dunleavy, an author from U.K. and i like to share what i read here. It's a very important tips in developing our children's literature skills at home so that later on, when they go to school they would have a deeper interest in literature lessons and this is a credit for all teachers and say "thank you parents for making our job easier"  well... just kidding!  Below are the tips:
 
 1.  Have a precious time to read aloud to your kids as it helps to create their speech skills especially for preschool kids.
  2. Have a chance for them to pick the reading material of their choice as it makes reading more fascinating and your child will enjoy it.
 3.Set a schedule for the reading activity. This will help the kid create his full literacy potential.
 4.Parents show a reading habit to their kids to motivate them. Nothing beats teaching by example.
 5. On the way back to "kampung" or during travel ask your kids to read on labels and signs.
 6. ask questions after reading a narrative to enhances the child's memory and simultaneously, encourages him to speak out his ideas.
  7.  don't read the ending of the story. Let the kid predict it. This develops creative thinking and simultaneously, enhances verbal expression.
  8 permit the kid to ask questions. Don't cease him when he interferes with the reading activity to ask something.
 9. use fascinating, attractive and educational literacy materials. Special needs kid won't read or listen unless what is being read arouses their interest. Words must be simple

I hope these tips will benefit others as it benefits me. See you soon!
