Learning Point - Discussion

[Precious2.012911lee]

Hi phtthp, your DD is really bright. Did your girl attend other enrichment classes prior to Learning point? I am starting to get worried for my girl who pratically knows nothing and she is entering K1 next year.


I do not think think LP will even accept her due to her poor standard. Also, if I put her in LP with other smart kids, she probably can't catch up too and it's going to be a waste of time and money. I am not sure if it's relevant to post here but are there any other schools that are good in building up foundation in phonics?

Hi Precious2.lee, our kids are the same age - next year k1. According to LP tester, to be enrolled in RFS (K1 programme), all the kid needs to know is to be able to recognise and write the alphabet.

Kids catch up very fast. dont worry too much.

Hi Imami, your boy is so smart too. Honestly, if my DD has 50% of your DS standard, I will be very happy. Sometimes, I just couldn't help wondering, I feed my 2 kids the same food, give them the same formula milk but why is it that their standard is so different. If not that my DD takes after my look, I really suspect I might have carried the wrong baby back from the hospital 4 years ago. :yikes: I am transferring DD to another church kindergarten next year. Not sure if it's the right choice, I do hope she gets to learn more in the next 2 years.

Hi! Phttp, thanks for sharing! My child will be attending the RFS starting from next year .Hopefully by then I will be able to share more about the RFS.


I agree that the kindy/ childcare that they attend is important. My child was taught phonic since nursery. But his progress is slow. May be because of the teacher or the method that use? I am not sure. Because I have an elder one last time attending the same school. Has no problem in reading and I never send for extra phonic class. I guess we cannot compare as they r different.

My kid's strength is in language, in particular spoken language. There must be something that your DD is strong(compare to kids of the same age) in, which could be non-academic.

You are so funny – on the part if you had carried the wrong baby back! I always feel that I have definitely brought back the right baby – he looks like me, smile like me, as cheeky/naughty/talkative as me, loves the same type of food like me…. how could go wrong? For a child like that (i.e. a child who is so much like the parent),I can only love him even more and try to mend the shortage. Because seeing him is like seeing myself.

ok :offtopic:

Would very much appreciate your comments on them.
Can pm me too, thanks!:)

Thanks phtthp for your encouragement.

My son had passed the P1 Headstart assessment and will be starting classes on Saturday.
I asked about P1 Headstart in Maths but they are unsure if they would start the same when they move to Parkway Centre (Marine Parade) in February. But I feel that if more of the parents express interest in having their children attend it, then I am sure the Management would be able to start it:)

Congratulations, Ran !
your son cleared the assessment for \"P1 HeadStart English\" and this Sat starting his first lesson. Enjoy ! my girl said the class is interesting !

as for \"P1 HeadStart Maths\", currently it's only available at Thomson Plaza.
Management said they'll consider opening a new Maths class at Parkway Centre (Marine Parade), if can get hold of minimal number of kids interested.

any parents whose children had gone through Maths programme (Thomson Plaza) ?
how you find it ? is it just worksheets or got play games to reinforce concept ?

Do they have referral programme like others? If yes, may I have one?
