At a kindy one day, a 3yo girl ran to her daddy with a piece of paper in her hand.
Girl: Daddy look! (showing her daddy picture she just coloured)
Daddy: Oh, this is beautiful.
Girl: I colour this and I also use school's crayons because we don't have crayons at home.
Daddy: Got-lah. Koko (brother) can share his crayons with you.
After hearing that, I looked that the 3yo and was amazed at how she presented her message to her dad. She's convinced her dad that she can colour and at the same time sending an indication to him she wants her own crayons.

Teaching 3 going on 4 to read isn't an easy job, their attention span at that age is short. Making them sit still for 15mins isn't easy either.
I was surprised when I was at a kindy to learn that at 2 they can be taught to recognise letters and sounds.
Here's a video - a simple thing that thrilled them.
