Pari is now 5.3 year old
One night, after I finished a story to Pari, I started working on my laptop assuming that she slept.
Suddenly she sat up and asked me “Papa, how to write ‘ka’? I wrote on a paper for her she religiously wrote it 4 times and slept again.
I am against of the alphabet method to teach language. I will never let anyone attempt to teach my daughter using this method. But this incident let me feel that method is not central but the child interest to learn is on our purpose.
The children find their own way to learn things. She must have found that the alphabets are important to read and write. Or at least she has some tentative picture of this alphabet in her mind and she wanted to master on this.
I feel we must keep the alphabets chart around in the school. Also the particular sequence is also useful to find the meaning & use in dictionary, in fact to find in any reference.
