2016 ARMAN'S READING

ARMAN'S READING 

When Arman first came to us in 2013, he's so tiny and only spoke Malay. Each time his teacher asked him to repeat after her, he kept quiet. He was not following his teachers' instructions. He was not following his teachers hand gestures during nursery rhymes nor did he responded to any dance steps his teacher performed. He just stood rigidly, unresponsive. 

His teachers continuosly encouraged him and one fine day he uttered in Malay, "Arman tak tau." (Arman doesn't know)

We take this as a positive challege that we could overcome each year. I told my teachers to continuously speak to him in English. As time passes we noticed that he started to repeat after his teachers, able to understand instructions given and able to converse in English with his teacher.

I'm so proud of milestones achieved year after year. From repeating after his teachers, he's able to recognise letters, phonics and picked up reading. Currently he's into contructing words into sentences and able to compose stories about his parents, teachers and friends.  

We wish you all the best, Arman. Hope that you'll continue to ask questions, seek answers, respond positively to your elders and teachers, socialise well with your friends and achive what you've dreamed of.
