buds:

Depends on how old your child is and how much you willing to invest in these pre-writing and pre-reading materials for your child. Did you mention how old your child was or did i actually forget?

spring:

My gal is 2yo. If the materials r worth buying, i wil definitely scrimp n save to get them. But... if u hav ideas of DIY these materials, pls tel me ya...cos im a sahm... no income lei...must spend wisely...hehe....

Me too... SAHM, i mean.

Okie, roger that spring.. I got
loads of DIY. :evil: Especially
to provide support for my
fellow SAHMs and SAHDs.

And do bring down the knowledge
to nannies, maids or grandparents
wherever possible. Especially if they
are the main caregivers... They can
provide indirect reinforcement when
you're not around..

Hi Buds. Sori, i was referring to switching him to letterland, not leapfrog.. How is the letter L and F pronounced in montessori?

He is learning phonics in school where they teach him \"L\" pronounced as \"Ler\", completely different from leapfrog. i wonder which is the correct one?

The single letter sound of \"l\" is pronounced as lingering \"l\" sound,
when you press the tip of your tongue to the roof of your mouth,
at the soft gum space behind your 2 front teeth.. It should sound
like the one in Starfall. > http://www.starfall.com/n/level-k/letter-l/load.htm?f

It should make the same sound at the end of the word ball... doll.... sell...
If it's pronounced as \"ler\", then when we drag the sounds of d...o...l...l...
you would get dol-ler? :shock: So, soft lllll... sound, okie sunset_dae.

Hey buds,

Thanks so much. I have ordered e alphabet song & flashcard, wil be collecting them soon. I will be looking forward to ur reply.... v eager to receive my letterland products. Hope tat i can succeed in teaching her all the letter sound, and even to e more progressive stage.Or mayb in times to come...i will jus send her for a phonic enrichment which wil be much easier. But i am more keen to teach her on my own if i can, you & tamarind had given me alot of inspiration. Thanks so much...

Aaaah.. so i see you've made that first baby step into

starting your learning aid collection, aye..

Do not worry unduly, you will do fine. :hugs:
Would you like to share with everyone where
you bought your Letterland products, in case
there are any parents who might be interested
as well...? And i suppose, most importantly...
how much? Hehee..

For stay-home-parents, every cent counts.

Actually before i purchase letterland product, I had tried other products like leapfrog dvd as i hav heard lots of gd review on this dvd, but i find tat my dd is nt very interested to watch. So now i wld like to try another approach, n i came to know abt letterland thru this thread, it has lots of songs and stories and i tot my gal might like it as now she loves to sing songs and listen to stories!

Thanks for the encouragement buds
I purchase my letterland items from letterland distributor. His name is Francis. Can call him @ 90081997. I bought e alphabet songs cd and flashcard at $45.

You can hold the thought first if you want, spring..
After i show you how the Letterland presentation/lesson
goes, you can consider again. There's no hard and fast
rule on this.
