Today while I was helping Cass to shower, she suddenly remembered something that transpired in kindy in the morning during English lesson.
Cass – mummy, do you know teacher A gave me a STAR and a “VERY GOOD” in my reading today!?
Me – really? *with face all perked up though I was almost going to doze off in the bathroom* LOL!
Cass – I can read the whole of Chapter 1. Are you glad? *and gives me a cheeky and smug smile*
Me – yes of course! I am very glad! *I could not help but grin proudly*
Cass – last year I could not read, now I can read all the words. Are you glad to hear this?
Me – yes of course. You see, practice makes perfect, so you have to read more ok?
Cass – Adam could not read, but I can read the whole of Chapter 1 and 2. Ethan can read very well too.
Me – you can beat Ethan you know? You just have to practise reading more. (Ethan is the top student in Cass’ class)
Cass – yes I know.
And then she went on and on telling me how well she could read these days. And that was my moment of glory hehe…

Very impressive!! I am pretty sure I was at least 8 before I could read like that!!
Chris, same here!! In those days, all we did was sing songs, made to memorize our ABCs and played in kindy. I can’t remember being taught to read books or to do Math!
