Advice for my little Girl 6 years old
-
taydave:
My advice to you is continue with 'I Can Read' programme. In addition, get an experienced tutor to coach your child in English.My 6 year old daughter come back from Shanghai in Jan 2013.
As she attend his 3 years in Shanghai International School in Suzhou, her English standard is very poor. She cannot communicate well with her peers and she prefer to speak to us in Chinese, even we try to talk in English.
She is now taking, \"I CAN READ\", but the progress is slow....
Any advice?
Many thanks in advice. :thankyou: -
Speech & Drama will help your girl in all the aspect.
I have recommended many parents in this website and my neighbours as well.
Most important is the teacher. I can see the improvement of my 2nd girl with special needs able to read and write her compo. I see a more confidence girl now. My 1st girl excel in her English language. Have no regrets sending both of them there.
The teachers are always give feedback to us as parents as often as we want to. From here we can tell how much our child has grown into English language.
It comes with Creative Writing so both gals no tuition for compo course. I saved up my money! -

Language is all about reading and speaking. We have to create an environment for our children. Child cannot read then parents must spend at least 10-15mins daily to read to them.
When my 2nd girl was in P1 she also cannot read and we didn't know she has special needs too! Her older sister started to read at 3 plus. Most of the time she told me can borrow baby books in the library I told to go ahead. By doing that, was encouraging her to have the love of reading for her. After term 3 then she started to read. I was so happy for her.
Now in P3, infact, teacher put her incharge of a boy besides her to read to him. I'm so proud of her and happy for her too!
It's only in P2 we send her and her sister for Speech & Drama. That was an additional bonus to build her confidence level.
This is the website for the Speech & Drama. You may contact the lady boss who is teaching my 2nd girl now. She is Teacher Margaret Nonis.

Money is well spent because we found good English teacher and encouraging teacher as well. They do not speak Singlish. That's what I look for. -

I know of a preschool that offers authentic Julia Gabriel English speech and drama and itโs offered as a compulsory enrichment at a price of $60 a month (4 sessions a month, 1 hr each session) only as compared to what they would have to pay outside if they go to Forum for the lesson. The activity books are exactly the same as the one in Forum Julia Gabriel.

You can try phonics programs to build up your girlโs foundation in English first as it is important to first build the foundation of the language, once she is able to make sense of words, speaking the language will come naturally

Kidz Literacy Cove offers phonics programs to build on the foundation of the English language. We are using Jolly Phonics and Jolly Grammer in our curriculum and our lessons are also very interactive and holistic as well. We do offer trial classes @ 50% off should you be interested to enroll your child.
We are located at Serangoon Gardens and you may contact us at 97800786 for further enquires!
