Find the Sounds



This is our conversation with 4-year-old Tanya  when she started to cough while reading:







                                            Me:            Jesus please heal Tanya's cough.

                                             Tanya:       Who are you talking to?


          Me:            Jesus

           Tanya:      Who is he? (No gender classification            

                                                     in spoken Mandarin.)


          Me:            A friend.

           Tanya:      Where is he?

          Me:           Here. ( placing my hand on my chest.)

          Tanya:       Can I see Him?

        Me:            No,

                   

                            (trying to make things easier,)

                                                                                                     

                           Can you see the wind?


         Tanya:      Yes! I saw the typhoon. 

                 

                           ( Pointing to the air conditioner)

                 

                             I can see the air conditioner.


                                           Me:           Okay, let's continue reading...what

                                                               sounds can you find in this particular word?"

  1. Oh, those children are very observant and come up with the most interesting ideas! I worked with them in Children's Ministry for over 30 years. During that time is when I wrote my Christian children's books. I wrote them to 'explain' to the children about the things of God. They always an explanation and then another explanation!

    Come by my blog and download free coloring pages for the children you are around. Also, Subscribe by Email (so I have an email address) and I'll send you a link to music with illustrations that are like a movie. Each book I wrote has music written for it. If you never get the book, the songs are great and you'll still see the illustrations (not the words) in the movie link I'll send.

    It's been nice getting to know you by going through your blog!
