LETTERLAND PHONIC vs JOLLY PHONIC

Charmaine_chong:

Hi,


I wasted 2 months at Zoo phonics at Siglap centre.

I didn't like the teacher on the very first day. And true enough my son didn't like her and she wasn't very keen to give feedback.

The only thing that i like about zoophonics is its cathy songs.

Overall, i would say no to this school. Nothing much benefited.

This is really a pity. Very sad to hear of schools that have teachers
who lack the passion and motivation to teach despite the training
given to them to inspire children to learn.

Charmaine, i strongly believe that it takes a true educator to deliver
only the best teachings to children, regardless of methodology...
regardless of subjects... a teacher who has the passion to teach will
teach ANYTHING well and beyond, to the best of her abilities for the
benefit of the children under her care.

Dear Mummies,


Here’s come my report…
Its easy to find the place. Take bus 238 fm the intchg, alight at the 7th busstop and cross the road…

I didnt buy the jolly guidebook as it was too chimp for me. I dun even kw how & where to start… It cost abt $80 plus now… For those who are interested to buy.

After some discussion with the very helpful assistant, sorry i forgot to ask for her name… i bought the jolly DVd instead, which cost $74.90. I find the jolly jingle cd uselful as well as it comes with a book. However, my girls may not pay attention to music except in car ride…I also bought some story books, spend abt $100.

I tried to play the disc yesterday night but my girls dun seemed to be very keen, kind of disappointed. Tried aagin this morning and it seemed to catch a little of their attention. Guess i have to
keep playing, for them to pick up the sound…jia yu jia yu !!!

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.

Hi Buds,
My son's childcare is using the Rigby Star Phonics. I tried to reinforce his learning at home when the books are being returned but got very confused. Not sure where and how to start.

Would like to 请教 the Bud's way of teaching :?:
