So generally in P1 & P2 is quite a norm for them to score 100% in Maths.Once they have reach P3 we would see a drastic drop in the marks?Something like 80-85?


Maybe would consider join Enopi Maths so that can be fully prepared when they hit P3.[/color]

Hi,

Quite norm for some kids (not all) to score 100%. Reason being that there are alot of kids out there who are careless so they tend to lose marks this way. :roll:

You can also consider MPM. I've not seen their program before but I think it's quite close to Enopi :? In any case, my personal opinion is that these 2 programs should be better than Kumon.

Hi,


I am totally agreed with kids tend to be careless and might be another reason due to their illegible handwriting. Even my kid also got this issue, he tend to be careless.

Maybe it would advisable to look at the other programme. For parents with Kids in Enopi, this is what our comments for.

Hi Titank,


I also want to add that personally I feel that it’s good to start kids young so that they can progress through the levels faster given their early exposure to the program.

Eg. K1 is quite a good age though what they are doing is very elementary. Eg. my K1 is only at level 2 currently but it sure provide a good foundation and training for her to know her numbers confidently and also count correct as they tend to be careless when counting currently. Now is her 3rd month in Enopi and I observed that she is starting to get the hang of 5’s. Eg. if there are 19 dots, when she 1st started, she would count 1-19 all over again and again so it takes time. Now we get her to observe the dots (eg. if she see 3 rows of 5 dots, she knows it’s 15 so she will start counting from 15 onwards and this improves her speed).

I personally find that language should be taught first. It is not difficult to teach phonics at home.


For those who is interested to teach phonics at home, you may need to

1. buy My Preschool World series of Phonics Books at Popular bookstore.The sounds are very clear and easy to learn. Is great tool to learn the blending/sounds. However the words are too little.

It has 4 readers + 4 activities + 2 enrichment activities + 2 vcd.

2. please download free printable phonics cards here for more pratise. It is comprehensive. Words are separated from the pictures http://www.mediafire.com/FleschCards

More details on how to teach using the fleschcards

3. Children must learn letter sounds first. Please use my preschool world reader and activities and vcd 1. Then progress accordingly.

I agree with MMM that K1 is indeed a ideal age to start, I started my boy when he was in K1 and now in P1, in fact he is covering P2 work. The program allows the child to learn at his/her capability rather than what is being taught in school.


And they do helped to prepare the kids for CA, SA too I notice that recently have another new branch in Kembangan, good news for eastlanders like us

Hi MMM,

So generally to have some Maths program before entering P1 is good? Considering Kumon, Enopi, MPM or even Abacus? What would be the ntry age of Enopi? Age 5 as at year for reference or month of birth for reference?

Any good recommendation of Enopi Maths?They seem to be like francise right? DS went for Montessori Maths before P1 so guess now he in P1 would have some help in a way.

Hi Titank,


I believed that most of the programme will help the kid in some way, it is just that depend how much they can pick up and how long for them to learn.

Hi,

My 1st child didn't do any maths enrichment. Ok her P1 results are 80+ type. But at some point, we started her on some maths program (mighty maths out of convenience) as we can see that she is doing ok but some concepts are not strong so it'll lead her to struggle subsequently. My 2nd child did Kumon for a year. Compare the 2, the 2nd is always better arithmetically. Seeing their outcome, I wanted my 3rd to start earlier and on the right program.

I heard some kids start enopi at 3.5 yrs. But they will need someone to guide them eg. read instructions,etc.... Also, if they can't really write (eg. motor skills not ready), I personally feel that there is no point starting them. In the case of my K1, we see that her writing is starting to get better though she struggled with the number writing initially. eg. how to write a 5 using prehand. Seems easy but kids do struggle.

I am not sure about Abacus. There is a separate thread on that. But I thought I read somewhere (maybe in the thread) that abacus might conflict with primary maths? eg. number bonding and the need to produce the step by step working to gain marks.
