Mummy Carrie...

Hi everyone, this is my first time to KSP... I know this site thru my colleague... May I know is there any good phonics school for K1 child... As my boy is going to PCF on 2009... I read so many people talking about \"ZooPronics\", \"I CAN READ\" and etc...


My boy is smart as he know what are we asking him, before answering us...He is smart at talking back to us too... We speak english at hm. But however, I need to update my english too... :oops:
But he is very lazy when i ask him to practise writing at home.. He cannot concentate and focus, keep asking me question, by :\"when can i watch my tom & jerry\".. haha

Hi Carrie, Welcome to KSP!


I send my kid to a Montessori preschool where they teach phonics as well, so I do not need to send him to additional phonics class. That is a very viable option.

You know you have a smart boy, and so the question is how to find the right motivation for him to concentrate work hard. That is different from child to child, and even worse, changes from time to time. And this difficult task is our responsibility as parents.

Starting to learn Math during K2 is late by today's standards. I'm currently working on Primary One Math preparation Part 2 which includes a \"progress table\" that parents can use as general rules-of-thumb. Hopefully you will find it useful. Stay tuned

I'm doing the teaching myself nowadays I sent my son for Kumon starting P3, but I think he has already outgrown the programme and it is no longer useful. For pre-schoolers, lots of parents swear by CMA which teaches math based on abacus. See this http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1352.
