Zoophonics

Hi all,

perhaps you should explore other reading enrichment options. I came across a flyer one day. Seems like there is a new preschool cum enrichment centre opening beside Thomson Plaza in Jan 2013. They provide reading enrichment programme as well, and this programme is from Australia and its partially an online lesson. I think the name is \"Reading Eggs\".

My 3-yr-old kid went for their trial and enjoyed the lesson, cos he got to learn to read the words through online games and activities. I've brought him around many places but he didn't quite like the \"worksheets-and-reading\" approach in those schools. So, in the end, I've signed him up for the reading class at \"Giving Tre3\" in Jan 2013. Besides having the online lessons, the teachers will also conduct activities in the classroom. I think there will be a good balance.

They having opening promo now. Got waiver off registration fees and discounts too. And they have informed me that they are holding a Opening Party this coming Sat 26 Jan, 9am to 1pm. Looking at the programme, the kids are going to have loads of fun, playing games and making new friends!

You may want to check out the centre on their FB:

I decided to enrol my 2-yr-old boy in the thomson zoophonics on my colleague’s recommendation. but have to say i was disappointed. my boy attended lessons there for the last few months but we decided to pull him out coz’ we didn’t find the English teachers (the usual Eng teacher and her cover teacher who took the class in her absence) very good. they don’t seem to be passionate about what they do, nor are they really into kids.

i remember one lesson where the teacher was reading a story to the toddlers and she was using words that are not simple enough for their understanding. i just find them not engaging enough.

Dear parents,


May I know if you have any recommendations for any enrichment centers as recently I realised my ger had a sudden change of attitude towards attending the zoophonics school. Im so stressed out cos its not her usual self and I really wonder why…or what happen… she has never been like this and nvr cry her heart out when gg to school in fact she loves school initially but for the last wk plus today,out of a sudden she refused to go to the school and freaked out when she saw the school too! I really have no idea why…im at a total lost now…

Need some help and advises…

Perhaps you can have a talk with her teacher who might be aware of what’s bothering your child?

I had spoken to the teacher but they told me they dun know why either.. that leaves me puzzled.. :frustrated:

I tried every ways till now and she doesn't seems as interested and eager to go school.. when I ask her why she turn away from me too

I dunno what else can I do now... :sad:

[sunshinemomalove]

Till now, my ger still resists gg to school.. when she saw the uniform she hides or she will push me away...


What can I do...

Hi All,


Just to provide some positive feedback about zoophonics thomson branch. My gal was with them since Oct 2012 as now I wanted her to progress into other program for reading so i send her for LCentral and LP for assessment.

Both center provided good feedback about her phonetic sound. I am glad that I have chosen the right program for her & appreciate her teacher effort.
