Hi, I have just spoken to a mummy who used to send her son to Shichida, the child now do quite ok in school, among the top 100. The results is good, but it appears to me that it is far from the outrageous results that Shichida claims.


Since the program is already almost 40 years, and already in Sg for 10++ years, I was wondering if there is any results to proof that the methods work? I have been searching around google but no luck.

Anyone with the answers?

Yes I also like to know as some of those children who attend 8-10 years ago would have grown up. Wonder what is their experience and by now should see effect in full.

Hi,
I think I'm one of those you're looking for ... son attended Shichida Method (SM) when he was in K1, now he's sec 1. My main intention then was to improve his attention span, wh I find he was lacking in.

My memory is a bit hazy now plus we only attended abt 2 - 3 terms. Son did enjoy the lessons very much - all aspects of the prog as it was prog in a v.fun way. And I guess his competitive streak was also stroked, when he got his ans correct/wrong vs his classmates.

Actually the cheap skate in me just wanted to attend for short term & DIY after that since I'm a SAHM. Some materials we got fm them & the rest like flashcards etc, I DIY myself ( often working into the early morning hrs).

Ok - the results. Can't give testimony that son is like their adverts testimonies but I could see his memory is gd, no problem at all with ting xie for both EL & CL, Maths is also gd ( but I don't think his Maths is attributed to SM). Attention span improved - but it's a slow process as he grew up. Oh, academic results wise, PSLE he did well enough to get into our desired sch.

Think that's abt it.

P.S
1.Don't know why - feel a bit sheepish abt this sharing

2. The P's (JK) youngest son happened to be in son's class ( but he's 1 yr younger) ... chaperoned by their helper ...

hi, ur DS only attended for 2-3 terms..i feel that cannot be the result of SM ba.. i would love to see mummy whose child has been with SM for at least 3 years and above and see if they excel in their studies in school.

bcos, my understanding is, each level in SM, has differennt apparoach/testing they call it brain olympic and now brain excellent.

ic. but i would think it wont be the same as you wont know wat are the things(subsequent) that they are doing according to their age group. tt's the reason i continue on. for older class, i ever seen the teacher giving them puzzles( many pieces, at least 30 pieces) with time watch. i was told, they are expected to see the picture once then arrange it. things like that.. all memory testing. like my DD class 4yo. they are flashed with 5 country flash cards, then after 2 flashing, they are expected to join the country to numbers.. e.g number 1- singapore 2-Australia.. etc.. so they will link between the picture they see (no words) to the exercise they are give ( picture+words then numbers) to join the correct ones.

etc etc etc..

yes… yes, this peg memory (rite?) we also did during our time there …even more complicated since it’s a 5 yrs old class. Of course, if you have the time & resources, it’s gd to invest, but I have my own reasons & priorities …


Cheers to all SM mothers! Can appreciate the hardwork you had to put in yourself to see the results.

no, it's not peg memory. peg memory is just number and words.

Hi,


I’m looking to send my boy to a good enrichment program. Have got some background of SM through the sharing of parents here…

I was surfing and ended up at My Little Genius website.

Have anyone been to the program?

I have passed it a few times along Upper Serangoon Rd but have never gone in to check it out…

Anyone able to share your experience with the program?

Thanks!
