Reading a book with missy

As many have told me that fo children studying in Spore, there should not be any worries on their English language. they are constantly exposed to English language in school/enrichment classes.. the most spoken language, even at home her "kantang" daddy is speaking mostly this language and i was influenced but him. we speak english mostly at home.even maid picked up the language.

beside speaking, we want to ensure she loves to read. we have started reading to her since. she has sort of graduated from ladybird Grade1/2. these are stories by lady bird books according to difficulty of reading, from lesser words to more words.

Just for my record on the books that were familiar by missy

We read other books too, whivh are from other series/authors lik Mr series, etc.

Happy reading and we hope by reading all these books to her as a routine, will help her to like reading and make this lifelong habit. She has picked up many vocabularies from the stories she read. and she needs the before-bed time reading no matter how tired she is. which i guess is a good sign.
