Pembentangan ini meneroka bagaimana cerita warisan berbahasa Melayu dapat memupuk jati diri, rasa ingin tahu dan literasi awal kanak-kanak, sambil memperkenalkan sejarah berbilang budaya dan warisan bersama Singapura.
Berasaskan Siri Warisan PCFSP yang diilhamkan oleh pelbagai sudut Singapura lama dan komuniti yang berbeza, sesi ini menunjukkan bagaimana pendidik dan ibu bapa boleh menggunakan naratif tempatan untuk mengukuhkan penguasaan bahasa, menggalakkan minat membaca dan menyokong pembinaan makna dalam persekitaran berbilang bahasa. Penceritaan berbahasa Melayu juga membantu kanak-kanak meneroka bukan sahaja warisan Melayu, tetapi landskap berbilang budaya Singapura, sekali gus memupuk saling hormat, empati dan rasa kebersamaan.
Sesi ini akan berlangsung dalam Bahasa Melayu dan Inggeris

This presentation explores how Malay-language heritage stories can foster identity, curiosity, and literacy in early childhood, while also introducing young learners to Singapore’s multicultural history and shared heritage.
Drawing from the PCFSP Heritage Series inspired by different parts of old Singapore and its diverse communities, it will demonstrate how educators and parents can use rich, local narratives to strengthen language acquisition, encourage reading, and support meaning-making in multilingual settings. This presentation will also show how Malay-language storytelling can help children explore not only Malay heritage but also Singapore’s wider multicultural landscape, promoting intercultural respect, empathy, and a broader sense of belonging.
This programme will be conducted in both Malay and English.
