Hi,


Anyone knows whats the difference between Shichida 63-Day Random Shapes Flashcards & random dots/variety dots/ organised dots flashcards? Is it the same thing?

hi, i was a teacher in $xxxxxxa for a few yrs, many many yrs back. i am strongly against eflashcards (if by eflashcards you mean using powerpoint or some other software or apps to flash pictures or words to children at a high speed), no offence to all those that are selling/ doing eflashcards.


eflashcards harm young children's eyes and may cause some other issues like hyperactivity.

coz_hui, the 65 Days Dots programme is a prog that the school does. You have to follow the cycles carefully and strictly in order for it to work.

the difference among the dots cards are:

organised dots -- red dots lined up in rows, as the name goes, very organised.

random dots -- the red dots can appear anywhere on the card.

variety dots -- instead of red dots, they can be stars, butterflies, cars... anything.

hope the above info is helpful!

For your info, all Shichida and Heguru classes have computer monitors in their classes.


When I send my child to Shichida in Wisma Lim Foo Yong, Malaysia,
they use computer monitors (power point) for exercises like speed reading, songs cum flash cards and ,any more.

Heguru is also video based, and uses power point for their "super flash cards" at the age of 4 to 5 years old in Japan. That will prepare them for "wave reading"/speed reading.

The advanced shichida students in Japan relies on power point also as it is impossible to flash 2 to 3 cards per second.

Are you a Shichida teacher???

Get your facts right!!!

hi, i am fully aware that they have computer monitors installed in their classrooms and i understand their reasons for doing so but that doesnt mean that i agree with the reasons. perhaps you can check with mrs khoo for the reason why she doesnt approve of using computer monitors to do flashcards and later on why she changed her mind.

Hi sundaeMoon,


Yes I do agree!

That is why Mrs Khoo install computer monitors in the classroom. And she knows the importance of speed and clarity of the flash card exercises.

Hi,


First of all I would like to say that I respect prof shichida, I think he was a great educator, to both children and adults. In fact, I am still using his method to train my son, I think it is very beneficial, to my son and all the children that I had taught.

The reason why I commented on the usage of eflashcards was because I thought I can give a rather unbiased advise to all the confused parents out there. Unbiased because I’m no longer teaching in any school so parents don’t have to worry about ＂卖花赞花香＂kind of comments. I feel that parents shld be aware of the cons, and not just the pros of using eflashcards. Using eflashcards is just like letting children watch tv, using iPhone and iPad. Some will allow and some will not.

I think that you are rather knowledgeable in the area of right brain training, perhaps more so than some of the teachers I had seen. However, do be aware that, although not all children will be affected in a negative way due to the usage of these IT gadgets, there will be some who are more affected adversely, due to their genetics or living envirnment. And so, taking this opportunity here, I would like to ask all parents to really think thru all the choices available.

This will be my last post on this subject. Bef I end, I just want to say, I was once an insider…

Hi,


As Mrs Khoo from Shichida mentioned, which I also agree.
Children below age of 4 are not encouraged watch TV programmes or cartoons.

Shichida, Heguru and many others, only uses computer screens, tvs, iPads… as a tool to flash to their students.

No parents in a right frame of mine would only use eflash cards only.

As a parent you should read books with your child, play games, and many other activities.
