He didn't even know the vowels... My sister was worried about her son. She tried to teach him herself, she enrolled him in a fine kindergarten...yet he was not able to read much! She confided his problem to me so many times. Finally it got on my nerves and I decided to handle my little nephew's reading problem. I did some research on phonics and came out with this method...He must learn the SOUNDS of the vowels in Bahasa Malaysia. I made a set of five letters out of discarded carton and introduced each letter to him this way: " This fellow, his name is A and you read him as....( think of the sound before you get the answer from my talking buttons. Smug* ) _______________________________________________________ " The second fellow, his name is O and you read him as..." ____________________________________________________________________ "The third fellow, his name is E and you read him as..." " There is also another way of reading him..." ___________________________________________________________________ " The fourth fellow, his name is I and you read him as..." ________________________________________________________________ "The last fellow, his name is U and you read him as..." _____________________________________________________________ " These five fellows will help you to read well, so make sure you know ALL of them. Now, can you say their sounds ...?"
P.s.My little students graciously contributed their voices here. Aren't they cute? Sure you know all the five of them? .Then let's begin reading in Bahasa Malaysia
