Know the Sounds of Vowels in Bahasa Malaysia and Make a Difference!


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 ...?"

a, o, e, è, i, u


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
