My Story: How I started Reading to My Babies
by Li-Hsian, parent of Isha (ISP, KDSF-NC) • March 25, 2015
I LOVE reading. However, I didn’t read to my unborn babies in
utero. I was busy wrapping up work before I left my job to become a stay-at-home mum. Nor was I one of those mummies
who read to their newborns. As a new mother of twins, I was
severely sleep deprived. So, extra shut-eye and my general survival trumped whatever research I had read on the topic and
any grand intentions I had in the beginning of introducing
books to my bubs early on.
I’m actually glad I only started reading books to my twins when they were closer to 12 months. It was more meaningful
as my children were able to understand what was going on and more rewarding as I was able to see their reactions to
my reading.
A bedtime story routine is really the best way to acquaint your babies with books. After all, bedtime reading combines
some of your child’s favourite things: snuggles, interesting pictures, fascinating sounds and, of course, you!
I learnt from some good sources (like Born Reading: Bringing Up Bookworms in a Digital Age by Jason Boog) and personal experience how some books are better at holding babies’ attention than others. I follow a simple criteria:
1. Great to read aloud
2. Good pictures – a few large pictures (in colour or stark black and white), or colourful spreads
3. Sturdy pages – get board books and if they have flaps, ensure the flaps are not too flimsy (or say hello to your new
“friends” – Mr. Scotchtape and Ms. Scissors)
4. Large text – a few large words (more than an inch) in mostly lower case is preferred
5. Fun story, with interesting details you can point out as baby grows with the book
Point to each word as you read. Allow your child to help turn the page. My kids love to decide when to turn the page
and it allows me to know for sure that they are really engaged.
Warning: toddlers will request for repeated readings of their favourite books, but you can console yourself when reading a story again and again and again that this is how your little ones learn.
On the occasion of International Children’s Book Day on 2 April, I’d like to share with you a few books that my twins
really enjoy and still repeatedly ask for.
Say Goodnight/ All Fall Down/ Clap Hands/ Tickle, Tickle
by Helen Oxenbury
Say Goodnight was the first book I read to my twins. My daughter still anticipates each turn of the page and says the words with
the actions I taught her before I read them aloud. Each page of the Big Board Books in this set has only four to six words. Their
oversize format and large-scale drawings (the babies’ faces are about fist-size) showcase Oxenbury’s winsome, multiracial
babes, who spill food on each other, sing together, play with adults, bounce on beds, and clap hands.

FEATURE ARTICLE
Brown Bear, Brown Bear,
What Do You See? /
Polar Bear, Polar Bear,
What Do You Hear? /
Panda Bear, Panda Bear,
What Do You See?
By Bill Martin Jr.
and Eric Carle
I like these books – that come in a gift set – better than the more popular The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Exuberant artwork and pages that
lead seamlessly into the next make these rhythmic stories the perfect
introduction to animals (from the familiar to the more exotic), colours
and sounds. My kids love the simple repetitive language, and can now
recall the animals and sounds spontaneously.
The Babies On The Bus
By Karen Katz
My son loves cars and buses, and we love this version of the song. I disliked Katz’s bubblehead babies, but they grew on me. My kids learn words and concepts (e.g. up,
down) more easily through songs. We sing through the entire book, incorporating easy
actions for each verse such as tracing the wheels for “round and round”, signing “open
and close”, imitating wipers for “swish, swish, swish”, pretending to press horns for “toot,
toot, toot” etc. I play the song on YouTube and use flashcards with the same words to
reinforce recall, and they love learning the same things in different formats.
Goodnight Moon
By Margaret Wise Brown, With Pictures By Clement Hurd
I’ve been curious why this was considered a staple for every child’s book collection. I
frankly didn’t understand people’s fascination with this famous picture book – about
a bedtime routine, told from a little rabbit’s perspective – until fairly recently. I didn’t
like its stark colours but learnt that babies are visually stimulated by black and white
stripes or light and dark contrasting colours. The book uses rhyme efficiently and
beautifully. Brown gently encourages children to seek out the many objects in the room to make sure each one gets its own
special goodnight. Little details make Goodnight Moon incredible – like the clock continuing to move forward every time it is
shown, or the moon slowly making its way higher in the sky as the story progresses.
There’s A Wocket In Your Pocket / Hop On Pop
by Dr. Seuss
Straight-laced parents may proclaim that Dr. Seuss’ books are absurd and use
English incorrectly, so should not be read to children. They’re missing the point. A
child learning to speak and read needs to first learn the sounds that go with
letters before he can put these together to make words and sentences. Speech
therapists say it’s important for young children to make age appropriate sounds,
even if they cannot always say the words. Dr Seuss’ wonderful whimsical books
motivate even reluctant readers to repeat sounds frequently, helping children to
eventually master language.
Children’s book author and illustrator Tomie dePaola said, “Reading is important, because if you can read, you can
learn anything about everything and everything about anything.” However, like everything else with children, it is
important to first help them find the fun in reading. Learning will happen naturally when you love doing something.
Li-Hsian recently left a career in corporate communications to become a full-time mum to twins. She is learning new things daily as she tries to
balance the romance of motherhood with the messy realities of her latest role.

Info for Parents
USING VISUALS
From pictures reminding children to wash their hands to day planners listing meetings for adults, people of all ages
benefit from visual reminders. Often simple illustrations or words hung in critical areas can reduce the need to remind children to put away their coat, or finish their work. Below are six steps for helping kids become more organized and independent through visuals.
1. Select a level: Objects, photographs, colored drawings, line drawings, or words are ways to present information
visually. The more concrete the visual (a photo or an object), the more likely younger and delayed children are to
understand the meaning. Below are examples of visuals:
Picture
Story Page
Drawing and Writing
2. Select one image or a sequence: Sometimes one image is all a child needs for a reminder. Other times a sequence of visuals is helpful for remembering all of the steps in a task. A sequence of visuals also can be used as a
schedule to help children transition from one activity to the next.
Note: Visuals above are taken from a classroom at KDSF, National Centre.
3. Place visuals properly: Place visuals at the child’s eye level in the location where they will be used. If the child
has a visual schedule, put it in an easy to access area. To use the visuals effectively, point out their presence (i.e.
show the child the pictures/drawings of how to wash hands ...as can be found in KDSF-National Centre. Explain the
visuals are a reminder of what to do.
4. Reinforce using the visuals: When children remember to use the visuals, reinforce their behavior. Let the child
know, “I like how you looked at your homework list and did all of your work. You can play outside now.” Be clear
about what you liked and the consequence for completing the task.
5. Involve the child: Have the child write his/her homework list, select images to represent chores, or help create
pictures for the visuals. If children are involved, they feel more ownership in the activities. This also helps children learn organizational strategies they can use later in life.
6. Modify the visuals: Examine the visuals regularly to determine if they are appropriate for the child. If a child once
needed a picture but has learned to read, be sure to support reading by using a visual with only words.

PHOTO COLLAGE OF ART & CRAFT made by the children and teachers of KDSF-National Centre
Art & Craft
Benefits of “Cut & Paste” Art Projects: Arts and Crafts is one of the play experiences that are highly recommended for a child with a learning disability.
Apart from the wonderful social, emotional, cognitive and language opportunities provided by doing Arts and Crafts, exposure to different material of textures
and skills (like cutting, tearing, pasting, painting and colouring) are stimulating for young children with Down syndrome.

Words of Encouragement
Welcome to Holland
By Emily Perl Kingsley
I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help people
who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would fee. It’s like
this…
When you are going to have a baby, it’s like planning a fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a
bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The Coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The
gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It’s all very exciting.
After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several
hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, “Welcome to Holland.”
“Holland?!?” you say. “What do you mean Holland?? I signed up for Italy! I’m supposed to be in Italy. All my live I’ve dreamed of going to Italy.”
But there’s been a change in the flight plan. They’ve landed in Holland and there you must stay.
The important thing is that they haven’t taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It’s just a different place.
So you must go out and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you
will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met.
It’s just a different place. It’s slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you’ve been
there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around… and you begin to notice that Holland has
windmills… and Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts.
But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy… and they’re all bragging about what a
wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say “yes, that’s where I was supposed to go. That’s what I had planned.”
And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away...because the loss of that dream is a very, very
significant loss.
But… if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn’t get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things… about Holland.

World Down Syndrome Day 2015
21st March 2015 was the 10th anniversary for World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD). The Kiwanis Down Syndrome Foundation (KDSF) started observing and celebrating WDSD since 2006,
the inaugural World Down Syndrome Day.
All of the KDSF Centres had their own celebration and events to commemorate WDSD 2015.
KDSF Johor Bahru Centre organized the Buddy Walk and KDSF Kulai Centre joined them.
KDSF Seremban Centre and KDSF Klang Centre both celebrated with a party for all the children and their families. KDSF Melaka Centre had an awareness campaign at Mahkota
Medical Centre.

News from KDSF
Centres
In the early years, the KDSF National Centre organized talks in Medical Centres during WDSD
and our students would perform and showcase their talents there. Our aim was to give
awareness to new parents, medical staff and the public on Down Syndrome and to highlight
the programme that we provide, the Early Intervention Programme.
However, in recent years WDSD celebrations involved taking our students, their parents and
siblings on excursions and experiential field trips. This year our event was entitled “Walk &
Snap” Down in KL Birdpark. Each of our students had to invite a buddy (aged 12 years old or
above) to join them to “walk” and “snap photos” based on the tasks given by teachers at
the Birdpark. Besides giving our students a chance to explore at the Birdpark, it also provided
opportunities for the “buddies” to get to know and interact with our students with Down Syndrome. It was a fun and enjoyable day for all who took part, be they students, siblings, parents, volunteer, buddies or staff of KDSF-NC.

Including children with Down’s Syndrome in the Foundation Stage
by Clare Beswick
The aim of this book is to equip practitioners and carers with the basic information they require in order to understand particular special needs and respond appropriately to the child
and his or her parents. The emphasis is on helping the child to participate as fully as possible
in the curriculum, on equal terms with his or her peers.
The Kiwanis Down Syndrome Foundation - National Centre (KDSF-NC) celebrated its
25th anniversary with the launch of a Coffee Table Book titled, “UNLABEL TO UNDERSTAND” by its patron, YBhg Toh Puan Ena Ling on 11 September 2014.
The book was conceptualised by the management and staff of KDSF-NC, with the
help of Encik Mazlim Husin, a keen photographer and Creative Agency, Alpha 245
who voluntarily contributed their expertise towards the development and creation of
this exceptional book. It is a lovely pictorial narrative of past and current students who
have walked through the hallways of KDSF-NC. It features 26 children, highlighting
inspirational aspects of their personalities and achievements.
KDSF-NC is always keen to partner
with individuals, companies and
organisations to realise its vision of
promoting the welfare of children
with Down syndrome.
“UNLABEL TO UNDERSTAND” is also part of a campaign designed to raise positive
awareness about the potential of children with Down syndrome. KDSF-NC champions
for greater inclusivity of children with Down syndrome within the larger Malaysian community and believes that greater awareness and understanding of the genetic condition will help eradicate social stigma that creates limitations for children with Down
syndrome.
The UNLABEL TO UNDERSTAND
book is available for sale at KDSFNC @RM125.00 per book (inclusive
of postage).
