Hi Buds,


my DD2's teacher mentioned tat she's not doing blending but rather sight reading during phonics class. eg. 'at', she's able to read it but not using e blending way, as in sounding 'a' then 't' then blend em together. Though she's able to read e words too wen putting a consonant in front of 'at' (eg. 'mat', 'rat', 'fat' etc), teacher says she's juz not blending but sight reading. :oops:

How shld i encourage her to blend rather than sight read? I will only b attending e montessori phonics workshop in Sep. Meanwhile, shld i slow down e pace for sight reading since IM not sure how to teach her phonics blending at e moment? :?:

Cantbearit2, is DD2's blending going on track now?

Cantbearit2, is DD2's blending going on track now?

Thks for asking. :love: She's doing v well.

I tested her on Monday using LMA (she loves LMA, not sure why :scratchhead: ). She's able to spell out 99% (sound of 'e' & 'a' is sometimes confusing to her) of e pic cards I made (3 letter phonetic words). I was of course delighted. :imcool:

Most of e time, i tackle 1 vowel at a time. But tat day, I thot she was pretty ready so i mixed up e list of words like 'box', 'cat', 'mug' etc. Of course my pic cards is not complete in e sense there r like 5% of e pic cards not ready :oops: (i noe it's not an excuse but e full list is v long lor....). My target is finish it up by tis wk. If she could spell tis words too, i tink she's ready to move on to e blue scheme. Er....cher, wat u tink? Am I moving her too fast?

BTW, she's enjoying every bit of e 'lesson' we did wif her (oso fr yur recommendations, games & all fr Growing Fun & Popular). It is so easy to motivate her to do writing too. I juz need to tell her, if she writes neatly for me, we get to play 'Bingo' game. Haha...of course e Bingo game is using phonics word cards. Reinforcement for her but she tinks of it as a game.

Hi Buds and other mums,


I’ve just recently found this thread again. Enjoyed reading this.

I need some help. Can you tell me the difference between the weekly enrichment math and phonics classes vs their daily kindy classes. I don’t understand how the enrichment is able to complete the same cirriculum as the kindergarten since the enrichment is only a weekly session.

Also, you mentioned in one of the very early posts of a MMI at Holland. May I know which one is that? Is there one near Bukit Timah?

Kindly help. Thanks.
