TEACH A CHILD TO READ AT HOME

Unless you have a teaching background or an abundance of patience, then teaching a child to read might not come easy. Here are the tips below that might give some insight into how to teach your child to read at home:
1) Find a comfortable environment for your child. Loud noises in the background will distract your little one easily.
2) Prepare the resources before the reading session. Remember your child attention is short so make full use of it.
3) Equip yourself with ‘phonics knowledge’. Phonics is using sound recognition instead of letter names. 
4) Read to your child every night. Start with books with only few words so the child recognizes the common words such as the, a, and.
5) Plenty of colours and pictures with big bold letters either in flashcards or books. 
6) Give a lot of praise and encouragement to your child to build up his confidence.

  1. Mahir Dhuha International Islamic Preschool is an early year’s education provider which offers high quality education based on UK education system and KSSR to young children between the ages of 4-6 years old.

    As Muslims, we believe that knowledge belongs to the All Mighty therefore all knowledge should relate back to The Maker. With this in mind, at Mahir Dhuha we are aiming to incorporate Islamic teaching in all the subjects taught as well as celebrating international thinker in child psychology.

    THE BACKGROUND

    Fatimah Ishak, the Founder and the Principle, owes much of her success with Mahir Dhuha to her background in Islamic education. Fatimah, who had experience teaching in Manchester, United Kingdom for 9 years at Cheetham Community School (Manchester City Council) and lived there for 15 years, was a great spirit and the confidence to continue efforts to educate. It also inherited the family tradition and heredity as a teacher. She is also responsible for syllabus design and academic training courses. She is actively involved in writing and producing creative works.
    Zulkarnine Hashim (Diploma in Architecture – UTM Skudai, B.A (Hons) and B.Arch Architecture – MMU Manchester ), the co-founder and Business Development Manager of Mahir Dhuha, having garnered years of experience in the Architecture and business development field, plays an important role in providing technical, business development and architectural expertise to the operations. His eye for detailed works and experience in representing Governmental bodies are imperative in paving the path towards achieving international recognition.

    THE MEANING
    Given the name Mahir, we impose strong focus on teaching skills to children which are based on four key areas. These are the linguistic skills, number and thinking skills, art and performing skills as well as reading skills. DHUHA = MORNING GLORY/ LIFE SUCCESS.

    OUR PHILOSOPHY


    “Applied knowledge through heart and understanding the healthy, warm and caring environment surrounding the child, plays an important role in the development of the child’s emotional and social skills.”
    Thus we place warm, healthy surrounding and good social interaction between adult and children as a priority above everything else.
    A caring surrounding which emphasizes on a system of rewards and appreciations is celebrated in Mahir Dhuha so as to fill up the heart of a child with content and secured feeling. Different children learn at different pace. Therefore learning is paced according to the child ability to help the child grasp knowledge with full understanding without the child feeling rejected and bored.

    OUR VISION

    “We provide quality, holistic early year’s education with Islamic foundation”
    We believe that every child deserves the best education possible to achieve his/her true potential. Therefore we aim to provide the best holistic education to our young children, which is beyond the literacy and numeracy skills.
    Acquiring knowledge and skills balanced with the understanding of Islamic faith and values constitute to a complete learning experience towards a balanced child in the truest form.

    OUR MISSION

    “To prepare the children with life skills and knowledge in order to face challenges in the future ahead”

    Children need more than the basic classroom experience to face the challenges ahead of them, therefore life skills such as interpersonal skills and strong Islamic foundation is of utmost importance to the children of the 21st Century.
