Comparing Pre-school English Reading and Phonics Enrichment

[Funz]

There is a I Can Read at Lot 1 Chua Chu Kang.


My boy is also going K1 next year and he is still unable to read too. Well from memory, yes but independantly no.

My girl too was only able to start reading by the 2nd half of K1 and now in K2, she is reading and understanding at the level of a P2 child according to her teacher.

I did not send them for any additional enrichments aside from the phonics lessons that they go to in their childcare.

I guess if you have constantly been reading to them and have created an environment that is conducive towards nurturing a reader, then no need to panic yet, see if he picks it up next year, he might surprise you.

Anyone put their child at "I can read system", Simei branch? Can comment? Any improvement in English after the course? How long is the course and how much?


Not sure how old then can send my child there.

Hi poohbear,


I think the MMI Maths is good but it takes a good centre or teacher to deliver it...

I guess the one in JE may not have the teachers or rather not enough take-up to open a class...I will look around for some good centre for maths, and I'm not too keen on abacus coz there is no one to guide my kid if he ask an abacus question... :oops: furthermore, it is not P1 syllabus, won't it lead to confusion later....

i remember when i was a small kid, my grandma used to teach me abacus, but till now, i could say....it's not used in school, so eventually, when it's out of sight, it's out of mind.... :lol:

Hi ksunflower,

mayb you can decide after you try out the phonics class at JE.

I send my gal for abacus more for the overall development, not just for the abacus skills. The mental arithmetric is supposed to help with right brain development too.

Honestly, half year into the program now, i cant really tell the effect yet. Will hv to keep monitoring.

JMHO

I like your suggestion! And I second it

[buds]

Nope, definitely not too much, Poohbear.


As long as it is age appropriate, it's fine.

PM me what your K2 has already gone through.

I seriously need to get out of bed wide awake,
run through the long list of students information
i have in my hands & quickly secure the venues
prior to any confirmation.

Once confirmed, i will put it up on Personals thread
and Club Wild Wild West thread... the westies and
all the buddies in my Buddylist will defintely have
priority. :evil: Now you know why it's great to be
buds' buddies..

PS : Psst Poohbear... ehem... you haven't add me hor.
