In January this year, I took a job offer as an assistant to a nursery teacher and one student catches my eyes. She is one hyperactive child who always ends up with scolding as she disturbs other children. In addition, not having the interest in learning adds on to extra reprimand. As I observed her in the first month, I find that she has all the dyslexic symptoms as my children. I tried to highlight these to her parents and suggested to get her assess by a professional, but as I expected, they couldn't accept that something is wrong with their child. Feeling sorry for her was the last thing on my mind and thinking that if I could guide my children why not she? Therefore, each time when the lessons were on, I would sit by her with my teaching materials I used on my children and systematically guided her following according to her pace. Now as months passed, I find that she is more cooperative, learning and always eager to start her lessons. Children are our future so it is our responsibility to ensure that they start with a strong foundation.
