Spelling Challenge

 My six year old daughter found it difficult to memorize spellings of big words. To help her I broke down words and made it simpler . Any parent can learn and use this strategy in their language. I applied this technique both in English and Urdu.

I am sharing sample difficult words that I worked on:

Misunderstanding    Mis-under-stand-ing  

Sand                         S-and

Pant                          P-ant

Pendant                    Pen-d-ant

Writing                    Wr-it-ing

I hope Parents find this strategy easier

Similar is the case with Urdu Language. First we have to cover 2 letter words. There are lots of worksheets that have 2 letter words and three letter words. Practicing those and making their sight words help kids a-lot. I have taken print-out of Urdu sight words. It has helped my daughter in Urdu reading. I am sharing link of sight words that I am still using.

I have pasted it on her cupboard and she can practice them at any time of the day.

Urdu for Beginners

Urdu Sight Words   I have a knack for teaching and counseling. I have faced multiple situations when my child was lost learning our national language. Its ironic kids these days get along with an international language but when it comes to Urdu they whine. I don't blame the kids, these days pressure of subjects and competition has become tough.  I personally feel that these young minds should be nourished with the richness of language/s initially along with math. Rest of the subjects can actually be added in grade three when there minds are purposely developed and ready to absorb. But that's my personal opinion and no one has to agree or disagree. In this blog I will share sight words that I used for understanding of Urdu language with my munchkin.  There are different worksheets already on the internet but there is a-lot of confusion in them because of variation of the words. Words  should be taught according to a theme such as formation or movement then i...
