Cheers DC Mummy,


May i know how old is your child?

I find the series are really good. Sounds are clear and easy to learn. To me, it is better than Leapfrog.

DS is 3 years 10 months now. He is attending full day playgroup from beginning of this year and he also attended phonics enrichment - ICR (since March’10).
Although preschool + enrichment help in phonics vowels and words blending, but it can be much achieved with parent’s regular revision and engaging into reading. He is able to read those sentences in preschooler series book 3 and 4. Just few days ago, he finished reading aloud to me the Peter and Jane book 2 and 3.

After seeing him able to read, I feel a great sense of achievement and so does he. :lol:

Me too, I have a collection of leapfrog DVDs. Some were purchased directly from US and some through the Amazon. These DVDs are entertaining and fun to watch but \"preschooler series\" is the one that makes us understand the 2 letters vowels + blending concepts and most important, DS started reading after the sentences

Dear DC mummy,


Great!

Me too. I encounted the same.

My son started to read P&J since Jan 2010 when he was 3yr9mths old. He is in book 5b now. He does not like the books.

I need to encourage him a lot.

They're systematic and colourful.


The author and team adopt the Montessori style of learning Phonics.
The illustrations are also not too cartoony, which is an advantage.

Dear All,


An alternative to teach english sightwords is to use compound words.

Eg: Butter + fly = butterfly

Have fun!
