<![CDATA[Mummy Carrie...]]>Hi everyone, this is my first time to KSP... I know this site thru my colleague... May I know is there any good phonics school for K1 child... As my boy is going to PCF on 2009... I read so many people talking about \"ZooPronics\", \"I CAN READ\" and etc...

Nice to know you are a pro-active parent.
Just to share, my kiddies i introduced to them
Math @ 4yrs. Which is the most appropriate time
as its already an age where kids can comprehend.

I used fingers and beads too… initially.
Learning from concrete leads to abstract.
Means, we use ‘real’ materials to introduce concepts,
teach methodologies and then convert them to mental
counting. Do not give up, it will work eventually…

Use materials that child likes to count other than beads.
It will help develop interest. Child will not realise he
is actually learning thru all that playing…

Cheers.

I'm doing the teaching myself nowadays 🙂 I sent my son for Kumon starting P3, but I think he has already outgrown the programme and it is no longer useful. For pre-schoolers, lots of parents swear by CMA which teaches math based on abacus. See this http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1352.

You know you have a smart boy, and so the question is how to find the right motivation for him to concentrate work hard. That is different from child to child, and even worse, changes from time to time. And this difficult task is our responsibility as parents.

[quote=\"phantom\"]Hi Carrie, Welcome to KSP!


I send my kid to a Montessori preschool where they teach phonics as well, so I do not need to send him to additional phonics class. That is a very viable option.


Hahaha... I just reply you on the other side (Newbies)... Cos, i'm a single mother... So I have some limit too... My boy is going to PAP for his K1...in the morning. That's y, i tot of letting him learn pronics... 😛
