Firstly, would like to apologize for not putting up this post last week as was busying preparing for the upcoming test.

Below are some of the feedbacks received from you guys on how the session was conducted and also ways of improving: ( Do read Hani's comment too =)

Level 1

Afiq's group- The kids were said to were actually having more fun this week. Activities done with action actually managed to grab the attention of the kids as it helped to curb boredom.

Level 2

Daniel's group- Kids in this group require more attention during reading. To enhance better understanding, certain words were translated into BM.

Donny's group- The kids had alot of fun during the role-play session. The kids picked a story and was read by one of the volunteers and then the story was re-enacted by the kids. This not only allowed the kids to have fun but also to understand the story better. However, it can be seen that kids in this group dislike journaling.

Sarah's group- Kids in this group were actually very enthusiastic on playing scrabble. This group also suggested more man-power is needed preferably adults to help assist the kids.

Jonathan's group- This group made the effort by making sure the inactive kids in the team participated by making them in charge on holding the chalk and have the responsibility of writing the words down.

Suggestions & Comments

- Mok suggested that instead of providing the children with story books, introduce to them encyclopedias as it would give them early exposure into scientific stuffs.

- Miss Khatijah informed that more kids would be coming these week. Therefore, volunteers should be more prepared.

- The kids were said to have enjoyed reading ( 1:1 session is good)

- Volunteers were told to ask the children on which word they do not understand and try their best to explain it.

- For volunteers looking after the Level 2 kids, they are encouraged to ask the kids to bring their homework as generally these kids do not hand in their homeworks at school.

- Kids also have to be taught some basic discipline ( Eg: Be silent when the volunteers are talking, show respect)

- During the reading session, time limit also has to be set to ensure that other part of the activities are not distrupted.

- Some of the kids is said to be too shy therefore encourage them to participate more and if possible, give individual attention to these children.

- A 5 minute break was also suggested.

- Some of the volunteers also requested that journaling is given extra time as the 15 minutes allocated is insufficient.

- Volunteers are also told to personalize their style of teaching as every kid requires different approach.

That's it for now. Do feel free to add any other suggestions.
