As the moniker suggests, BrainFit is all about training the brain’s fitness. In other words, the kid’s cognitive and learning skills such as memory and attention.…

Learning During Breakfast Works Best
I find that teaching Alycia and Sherilyn works best during breakfast time. It’s the time when they are seated and eating and their attention span tends to be the highest in the morning. Sherilyn for one can never sit still during meal times. Without any activitiy to occupy her when she eats, she will climb up…
eLearning For My Girls
Alycia and Sherilyn’s latest learning method is from the computer. Lately, Alycia is demanding to be read to from the computer instead of from books. Almost everyday, I will read to the gals from the computer for about 15 minutes, then I will let Alycia rule the computer for another 15 minutes whilst I put…
Flash Cards Again
When Alycia and Sherilyn’s interest in flash cards were waning early this year, I found it really hard to hold their attention when I flashed the cards to them. I was practically forcing, bribing and my temper flared too. I decided the flash cards needed a respite for a few months and kept all of them. Several…
Breakfast Ritual
This is Alycia and Sherilyn’s breakfast ritual each morning – reading or playing jigsaw puzzles or drawing and writing on their Doodle Pro whilst they have their breakfast. These pictures were taken yesterday morning: Take a look at Alycia’s serious look as she was deeply engrossed reading this Peter and Jane series book. BTW, this…
Tom Tom The Piper’s Son
Today just before lunch time, I read and sang some nursery rhymes to Sherilyn, my 2.5 yo toddler who LOVES singing and loves me reading through singing to her. I sang her a few nursery rhymes like Baa Baa Black Sheep, Rock A Bye Baby, Little Bo Beep Has Lost Her Sheep, Hey Diddle Diddle…

Learning Through Singing
Sherilyn has always loved music, singing and dancing. When she was a baby and cried each time, singing and playing soft music had always comforted her and lulled her to sleep. I have recently discovered a new way of teaching my 2 gals. Since it’s really difficult to make them sit still classroom style with…
Alycia Can Tell The Time
Remember I wrote about Bedtime stories where DH taught the gals to read the clock? Well, I have been teaching Alycia how to read the clock for the last 1 week, though not consistently and last nite when I asked her to tell me the time looking at the ‘Tell The Time’ flashcards, she managed…
Cool learning method… strewing
A few days ago, The New Parent wrote an interesting article on strewing up…. a method of introducing new things to his little girl through discovery. I thought what a cool fun way of teaching Alycia and Sherilyn to read through discovery. Yesterday when the gals were having their afternoon nap, I strewed flash cards…
Alycia Can Spell
Alycia can finally spell her first word by memory…. and the word is God! SIL#2 had recently bought the gals a kids’ bible with lots of colourful illustrations. For the past few nights, Alycia has been pestering me to read this kids’ bible to her as she is so drawn to the colourful pictures in…
Bedtime Stories By Daddy Dearest
Once in a while, daddy will be home early to read bedtime stories to the gals. These are considered rare treats from daddy and the gals enjoy every moment of it. As for me, they are long-awaited breather treats for me…. Daddy teaching the gals how to read the clock. No. of times viewed =…
