KRTC Kent Ridge Education - Discussion

[Musicstar]

Anyone heard about this read in week phonics programme which is for nur phonics, K1/K2 phonics & P1-p6 phonics. http://Www.readinaweek.com.sg

I happened to pass by the Kent Ridge and saw their leaflet. My child is p4 already and she is not good in spelling and pronunciation. I wonder whether it will help. Appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

I strongly recommend you to send your kid to LCentral for their lift off programe. You can see the result in 3 months time. At the same time, there is a weekly spelling for those sight words. This help the kid alot in reading. Best is that the teachers are native English people.

I strongly recommend that you teach your child at home using http://donpotter.net/pdf/reading_made_easy_with_blen.pdf. It comes with a http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gvbpm_XMXcA&feature=plcp&context=C47a9f16VDvjVQa1PpcFMz_Wp6YilYdZIkB127rKH80sQpX-ovpro%3D and a boatload of http://blendphonics.org/?page_id=25 to help you, the teacher. For a P4 student, it will take less than 3 months and not cost anything.


Also, there are only a handful of genuine \"sight words\". All other http://www.thephonicspage.org/On%20Reading/sightwords.html using the phonetic code.

What are the charges for Kent Ridge like for p5 math? My son used to be at TLL, but found it too hard, then we switched to X-factor, still too hard…now thinking of trying Kent Ridge or Mind stretcher.

my dd was at kent ridge (TB) previously and shes now at TLL. I agree that TLL can be much more harder especially if u dnt hv a strong foundation in maths, I left krtc some 2 yrs back but their charges are not high, they have different packages eg. lower price if u pay for a term, i dnt knw whats the price today buy definitely very reasonable... their more exam based so i think ur child is more suited for krtc or mindstretchers.

[quote=\"catwee06\"]thanks, I will see if his class is available at Jurong West branch.

I dont know how whether he teaches at jurong, I used to go to tb or toapayoh but do call and check, Mr wong does make his class interesting for kids, takes the boredom away frm maths. Oh dear Ive got nothing but praises for him and my kid is not with Krtc cos of his timing.

My child was with Mr Wong last year. No doubt, he thoroughly enjoyed his class. only until towards the end of the course, I found out the real reason why he liked to attend his class so much. The tutor will actually send the students out to another room to play Wii. I don't understand how the teacher do his teaching with the kids taking turn to disappear from his class to go out to play game. Well, my child in the end did not do well. I guess partly it was my thought that I did not check, only knowing that he enjoyed going to his class and thought it was okay.
I also heard that, he has many students under him but the percentage of A* is really not that high. Perhaps too much fun.[/quote]My DS is still with Mr wong for the math. I checked his paper after his lesson and found out he taught more than school. This was good but whether can the kid absorb it, was a question. i had to re-visit his question with him again else not a good idea to leave him alone in Mr wong class.
