Teach Less, Learn More

Actually, I find teaching the concepts required according to the p1 syllabus to my 2yo quite fun. Not exactly work to him, bc he gets to take out cubes & weighing balance and a load of other manupilatives. So to him, it's like a game. And it helps that he can read well, so it's not difficult to teach.

:salute: P1 syllabus to 2 yr old! :salute:

:salute: Reads well at 2 yrs old! :salute:

well, this is the KS forum.... phankao just upped the bar.

Yah. Super upz. I should start soon on my son, if i were to catch up. *pant*


:lol: I'm guessing what she meant was that she's teaching concepts via teachable
moments and ready manipulatives she already has at hand, hence the learning
is via learning thru' play. The super mommy can come in to address this should i
stand corrected..

Well yes, indeed.. this IS the KS forum. :celebrate:

I suppose she is able to spend more time with her little DS since the others are
all grown up liao. So baobei gets all of mommy's attention. :love:

Actually the \"lessons\" only happen like once in a week or even once in 2weeks. And I used the singapore math books by yeap ban har. I just go through it as guidance - all required concepts are there. He can't do much \"assessment\" books since he can't write much other than draw circles & lines. And yes, it's mostly manipulative-based, but he can do what is shown on the books with some help. eg.circle the correct answer or match, etc, since he can read. To him, it's fun, lah.

Reading the threads in Enrichment Forum makes me :shock: . And Phankao's sharing makes me wonder if I have been living in a well. My then expectation for my firstborn was to be able to count 1-5 by three years old. Phew, I feel greatly relieved that my children no longer belong to the so-called 'critical-period' for teaching reading (in English and Chinese). Can't imagine the tremendous stress I'll be under if I were to play catch up. :faint:

Good luck, buds!
