selected to observe the child)
Miya is a 3 years 1 months old girl in Nursery 1. She is an active child who enjoys
pretend play as well as outdoor games. Both her parents being working, her main
caregiver is his grandparents. She is a Singaporean. She is the only child in her
family. She can speak English very well. Miya is good at social skill. Miya struggles
with letter recognition and pronunciation of few particular alphabets. She enjoys
playing with blocks.
i. Overall analysis and evaluation of the child’s developmental domains
support by child development theories
a) Physical Development
Based on my observations, Miya is physically well developed as per her age.
Miya’s gross motor skills are also well developed, as she can run very fast, walk with
bags, balanced on her head .Her gait pattern and nee flexion is well developed. .
She can jump from a low platform and land on both feet. She can be able to climb
over objects and obstacles. Miya’s fine motor skills are well developed, she is
capable of tying her shoe and can tear paper into pieces and can even sew them
with strings.

b) Intellectual Development
Miya has poor letter recognition skills and cannot identify most of the letters.
She faces difficulty in identifying letters when they are written in a different
case, and is more able to recognize the upper case letters. She is however able to
express herself through speech, despite of the wrong pronunciation at times.
c) Social Development
The social developmental mile stones in Miya are well recognizable. She is able to
form friendships and take turns while doing activities. She is able to play with her
peers and can share her toys with them. During the lunch time, she can to clean the
table after she had finished eating.
d) Emotional Development
Miya is expressive, and is able to express how she feels, with the help of
suitable words. In comparison to her developmental milestones, Miya is coping
well.
ii) 3 Recommended Activities (based on the above evaluation)
Base on my observations, Miya need to do letter hunting activities.
1. Letter hunting activities can be effective for Miya. She has to pick up the letters
and match them with the letters on the wall. After she picked up the letter and
teacher would tell her, what letter it is and Mia would repeat her teacher.
2. Story telling will be one of the best activities for Miya. She will be able to recognize
the letter and she can be able to pronounce the letter as well.
3. Writing letters in the sand can be an interesting activity for Miya. When she would
write the letter and will also be able to pronounce and can also see the letter flash
card.
Interpretation: It can be stated from the observation, that although the gross motor
skills and the fine motor skills in Mia has developed, but she will have to work on her
letter recognition skills, which can be done by certain play based activities. According

to the theories of cognitive development, the children always perceives words as a
whole that is compatible to schemas in general and not focus on the letters on trying
the read an unfamiliar words whose one of the letters are missing (Roskos, 2017). .
