I like Peter and Jane and other UK readers, save me the time to explain, for now, the differences bet UK and US Eng. MOE is using UK Eng to teach English so thought better to learn reading in UK Eng.

Good thinking.
So when parents reinforce spelling at home, remember to teach 'colour' instead of 'color'.

So far the kindy tr does enforce it. I read that there are differences in grammar too but I'm not so well-verse in the language to distinguish them. I can only explain the spelling part :rotflmao:

Hi, want to share this link with all kiasu parents here on how to get teacher resources for free (even local teachers used this website to generate free resources for children). You can choose the free resources, download and work with your child.

You can make it by yourself. I make Chinese word cards to revise with my child. Her kindergarten teacher provides a list of Chinese words that she needs to know how to read. Type in the Chinese words (font depends on your own preference), print on coloured or white paper and laminate. Hope it helps you. In local kindergartens or childcare centres, the Chinese teachers will make their own word cards.

Shall I be worried? My child still struggling to spell to twenty, though he can read fairly well and probably if have to spell phonetically( he's rather reluctant). The emphasis of his school is less academic as compared to spore. They don't give out spelling lists etc. By the time he reaches home(after3), there's little time left to do much. Thinking of focusing to familiarise him with sing dollars and coins only. Is ability to spell etc number words necessary?

It's not a must to know how to spell number words till twenty but it would be good to expose the child to it. Recognizing the number words and understanding its numerical representation is as important as the ability to match the number of objects to the value of the number or number words. Exposing the child to real money will be a good experience. Children develop at their own pace and before you knew it, your child would have mastered what you want the child to know and remember. All parents are to be praised for good efforts on working with their children.

ds will have pocket money in coins.

I'm not doing much with ds now. His kindy is preparing him for P1.

He's able to read, count and spell, I think he will be ok in P1. I just hope he can sit still and not get into too much trouble LOL.
