buds:

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.

hi buds

Pls keep me posted too. Though DS1 will only be in K1 next year, I don't mind leaving him in your good hands. So far I have not signed him up for any academic enrichment, as I'm not sure if it's worth the time and money. I rather teach him at home.
Having said that, a lot will deppend on the location, cos if it's weekday I will have to depend on ILs to fetch him to and fro, and they will not want to travel far.

Hi, my son is 4 now and will be in K1 next year. He knows the 26 letters and the letters sound but he cannot read (at all) eventhough we have been reading to him every night . I would like to send him to phonics class. I have done some \"shopping\" at nearby ctr but so far those ctr I talked to do not allow me to speak to their teachers and of course all say theirs is the best. Can anyone help?

What did you want to speak to the teachers about,
maybe i can help you out with some of your queries
or doubts about a Phonics programme?

Okie, mummy of 2. No problem.

Hi, does any parents have comments about TumbleTots @ Tampines? They use Letterland Phonics.


My son is using Letterland Phonics in his child care centre. Will there be any problems if I send him to a enrichment school which uses another kind of phonics?

[buds]

Heyya danecalymom,


For me at least, my answer will be no.

It will just be a matter of adapting to the so call different style of teaching
phonics. The approach may be different like some school of thoughts will
use cards, some use real objects... others may use Phonics related stories...
or some may work with Phonics characters... (etc) ... and the list goes on...

Learning Phonics is learning the use of letter sounds and its many letter
combinations to assist children in decoding sounds in words, guiding with
early literacy and understanding the rules in some areas. Good Phonics
programme will also adopt a reading routine with the students either with
purchased readers or the teacher's own resource/teaching aid. A good
language coach will also ensure your child(ren) use good diction in their
daily conversational skills and most Phonics pgrms also have advancement
for continuing with Early Grammar.

Hope this helps clear your doubts.

My DD used to do Tumble Tots lessons as well and she had a blast.
