LETTERLAND PHONIC vs JOLLY PHONIC

[buds]

And that's really a LOTTA stuff you have gotten them! :!:


You need more shelves!

Now, i'm afraid after recommending Sept 21... you're
gonna buy the whole store and your hubby will come
clubbing me! Yikes! :siam:

No worries, buds. It's not your fault. He can only blame it on my genetic predisposition to acquire stuff :?:

You been to the Sept 21 shop before? How do you find their books, compared to those from Edventure, such as Rigby Literacy? Btw do you have Rigby Rocket series, and how does it compare with Rigby Literacy?

I think next stop after Sept 21 will be IKEA :!:

Thanks. Btw off-topic a bit, I actually hate DH coming along with me when buying such stuff, cos he will say I don't need this or that, or we already have something similar at home. Such trips usually end with me going home empty-handed and feeling extremely deprived :stupid:

CNY coming liao. Time to re-organize your barangs.. but keep the foam
puzzle mats till your cutie of a DD is much older. I like that space a lot..
Very home-y and child-y feeling... if ya know what i mean.

mummy of 2:

You been to the Sept 21 shop before?

Heck yeah! :celebrate:

And i usually stay for hours at a stretch. Thankfully they don't have a
policy of chasing window-shoppers away. :oops: I'm just very careful
with my purchases. I don't like to end up buying excess stuff that i will
not need or use. It's wastage.. i SAHM ya noe. Must maximize every
dollar. :lol:

mummy of 2:

I don't like to compare lah darling.. each place has its own special affinity
with me. September 21 has more than just books. Puppets, teaching
materials and guides, hands-on learning resources, (etc... etc... etc...)
Books are just a small part of the store that i drool over. :drool:

mummy of 2:

Btw do you have Rigby Rocket series, and how does it compare with Rigby Literacy?

I have used only Rigby Literacy and have laid my hands on Rigby Star
Phonics as well. Both equally great in their own context and objectives.

You definitely cannot skip IKEA, girl! For your case hor, that's compulsory!
Or should i say, it'd be a sin to skip! :!: Hahahaa! :lol:

:rotflmao:

Ditto that, mummy of 2! :celebrate:

Deprived is quite the word for it! How apt! :lol:

Mebbe SNOWPET's husband is quite the educationalist...
we dunno.... and mebbe it's wise to bring the banker along,
for all the important decisions. :evil:

My son’s school is using Letterland Phonic. Now, he is in K1 and I would like to send him for additional phonic lesson. I cannot decide between TumbleTots (which use Letterland) and Zoo-Phonics.


Does any parent have some experience to share? Thank you.

I have a feeling I will stay for hours at the Sept 21 store too. Then will have to go over to IKEA for shelves. Better set aside one full day and make it a weekday so DH can't tag along :celebrate:


Btw that corner you like was meant to be a cosy corner for me and DH to relax after a day's work. So much for that

Yeah girl... If you're planning to hoard a lotta stuff, ask the minimum
amount one has to spend to be eligible for delivery, okie.
I think it was SGD $300.00 last time.. dunno what about now.

Really! :!:

Cannot lah. Too open leh.. High windows top to bottom, wah lao! You
want people to envy you from there or what! :rotflmao: But it can be
a cosy family corner where you and DH can chill with the kiddies. :love:

Hi,


I've used both. pretty expensive. I baught once upon a time from letter land(VHS) then switch to Jphonics. the JPguide book is good you can use many activities n photocopiable pages. I got it from september21 in tpayo.
guide along is enough for you to teach. dvds available in nlb. get them first if you are satisfied with the pro. then buy. some books also there. try youtube also.

Hi, i hv taught both jolly and letterland but kinda of favour jolly mayb the jolly phonics course i went thru in British council kinda of interestg. I like it the way in jolly that learning the alphabet sounds doesnt run alphabetically, it in such a way that after gg thru 1st workbook, kids able to form simple words.

Btw, the jolly phonics handbook (close to $40, yrs ago, nt sure now) plus all the 7 workbooks cn also be bgt fm Edfas Pte ltd, at bt batok crescent. Thru british council i bgt my whole set there.
