Question: Assalam, Dear Dr. Zahilah, I need to ask you what is the best age for my dear daughter to start learning ABC,123 & alif ba ta.Now her age is almost 3 yrs old. Thanks Doc. Lianna.
Answer: First of all, relax and don’t feel pressured. You can start teaching her if you see that she is ready, as in she likes to read and sit down and pay attention. Dont make it a stressful experience. Most importantly, at this age, she should display ability to understand your sentences, instructions and able to speak in phrases and short sentences. she can start reciting all the ABC but may take time to recognise the words. Make your learning activity as fun and enjoyable as possible.
