When my dd was in Learning vision child care previously ,there was no spelling test or tingxie at all . I was not worry at all as i knew whether a child knows how to spell an unseen word will depend on the foundation of the phonics a child has. So I drilled her on the phonics after teacher feedback to me that she can’t even read the sight words at the end of her k1 . I taught her the phonics everyday . Within 3 months , she is able to read enid blyton books. she has no problem coping with the pri 1 spelling at all.

Hi all


My ds have yet to start spelling, and he’s school is unlikely to introduce spelling for this yr. how you guys help your child with spelling? Memorise a given list? How many times a week to practise?

Hi,parents,


My K2 said that all his classmates knows how to spell one to twenty except for the two out of a class of 30 K1 last year.

Is it so for your k1 or K2 ?

But also told me class teacher teaching them 3 letter words only in K1.Do the parents taught them at home or from enrichment centres?

K1 my kids’ class can spell from one to fifty. This year will move on from there.


Do you mean reading 3 letters words or spelling 3 letters words?

Ds does not have academic enrichment this yr. He loves to read, the phonics he learnt from school, sight reading he uses Peter and Jane. Now he will read whatever he can find from the bks that I bought for the kids. I don’t think he can read all the words but I’m still amazed.

Hi,SAHM_TAN,

Thanks 4 reply.
:yikes: Your DS' Kindy so advance?
3 letter word read and spell.
Your DS is indeed amazing. How I wish my 2 kids are like that.
Besides being a reluctant reader,they are very picky on books.
He enjoys reading Zac Power but I do not know where I can find more since the 2 books are pass to me by someone).
This 2007 baby does not like to learn spelling at all. I will show what you wrote to him. Likely to motivate him.

I’m having this challenge to teach my son chinese spelling. Basically, he doesn’t like mandarin, finds it difficult and don’t want to learn to write them. any suggestions? and of cos, he has extremely short attention span, which makes it worse.

Ds' kindy is ok. I know of others more advanced heehee.

The 3 letters words were introduced when the tr feel that the kids are ready to learn to blend.

I guess it depends on the child bah. dd1 started to really read in P1 when she sees that many of her classmates are good readers :evil:

For ds, he started in K1 and the going was slow when we started in N2.

Keep trying

For Chi, I use 四五快读. We speak Mandarin so that helps him in the language. He likes to watch 喜羊羊, so we have a few DVDs of that show too.
