Masuk Tahun 1 ialah perubahan besar. Anak perlu duduk lebih lama, mengikut jadual, menguruskan barang sendiri dan bergaul dengan ramai kawan baru. Sedikit persediaan beberapa bulan sebelum sekolah bermula boleh membuatkan peralihan ini lebih mudah.
Kemahiran akademik asas
Anak tidak perlu sudah pandai segalanya, tetapi ini akan sangat membantu:
- Mengenal semua huruf dan bunyinya.
- Membaca suku kata dan perkataan mudah. Lihat cara mengajar anak membaca.
- Menulis nama sendiri dan memegang pensel dengan betul.
- Mengira 1 hingga 20, dan mengenal nombor.
- Mengenal warna dan bentuk asas.
Kemahiran berdikari
Kemahiran ini sering dilupakan, tetapi sangat penting di sekolah:
- Ke tandas sendiri dan membasuh tangan.
- Membuka bekas makanan dan botol air sendiri.
- Membeli makanan di kantin dan mengira duit kecil.
- Memakai dan membuka kasut sendiri.
- Menyimpan buku ke dalam beg mengikut jadual.
- Mengenal barang sendiri. Labelkan semua barang dengan nama anak.
Persediaan emosi
- Ceritakan tentang sekolah dengan cara positif. Elakkan ugutan seperti "Nanti cikgu marah."
- Lawat sekolah sebelum hari pertama jika boleh.
- Latih rutin tidur awal dua minggu sebelum sekolah bermula.
- Ajar anak meminta tolong daripada guru: "Cikgu, saya nak ke tandas."
- Beri peluang bergaul dengan kanak-kanak lain sebelum sekolah.
Senarai barang sekolah
- Beg sekolah yang ringan dan saiz sesuai.
- Pakaian seragam, kasut dan stoking (sediakan sekurang-kurangnya 2 pasang).
- Alat tulis: pensel, pemadam, pengasah, pembaris, pensel warna.
- Bekas makanan dan botol air berlabel.
- Buku latihan mengikut senarai sekolah.
Minggu pertama
Hari-hari pertama boleh memenatkan. Anak mungkin balik dengan mood yang kurang baik. Itu normal. Tanya soalan khusus seperti "Siapa kawan baru kamu?" berbanding "Macam mana sekolah?", dan pastikan anak cukup tidur.
Jika anak masih belum bersedia dari segi membaca atau mengira, tutor kami boleh membantu secara 1-to-1 sebelum atau semasa Tahun 1. WhatsApp kami.
Starting Year 1 is a big change. Children have to sit for longer, follow a timetable, look after their own things and get along with lots of new friends. A little preparation a few months before school starts can make the move much easier.
Basic academic skills
Your child doesn't need to know everything, but these will help a lot:
- Knowing all the letters and their sounds.
- Reading syllables and simple words. See how to teach your child to read.
- Writing their own name and holding a pencil properly.
- Counting from 1 to 20, and recognising numbers.
- Knowing basic colours and shapes.
Independence skills
These skills are often forgotten, but they matter a lot at school:
- Going to the toilet alone and washing their hands.
- Opening their own lunch box and water bottle.
- Buying food at the canteen and counting small change.
- Putting on and taking off their own shoes.
- Packing books into their bag according to the timetable.
- Recognising their own things. Label everything with your child's name.
Emotional preparation
- Talk about school in a positive way. Avoid threats like "The teacher will be angry with you."
- Visit the school before the first day if you can.
- Practise an early bedtime two weeks before school starts.
- Teach your child to ask the teacher for help: "Cikgu, saya nak ke tandas." (Teacher, I need the toilet.)
- Give them chances to play with other children before school.
School supplies list
- A light school bag in the right size.
- Uniform, shoes and socks (have at least 2 pairs).
- Stationery: pencils, eraser, sharpener, ruler, colour pencils.
- A labelled lunch box and water bottle.
- Exercise books from the school's list.
The first week
The first days can be tiring. Your child may come home in a bad mood. That's normal. Ask specific questions like "Who's your new friend?" instead of "How was school?", and make sure your child gets enough sleep.
If your child isn't quite ready with reading or counting, our tutors can help 1-to-1 before or during Year 1. WhatsApp us.
