Hi bigsnoopy, some of the worksheet are rather simple esp on the additions n no. bonding…however for some of the worksheet, they still required the child to think which is good…I think teacher will assess the child regularly n if the child can skip some books, she will definitely recommend it… As the child proceeds, the level of difficulty will increase…u can see the difference from the workbook yr child is doing…

Oh! ok just trying to find out what is the norm. When I look through the book for 71 & 72, looks quite simple. Then I ask teacher can skip book or not, she said not reccommended leh.
Do you mean when you compared with the 30s and the 70s, the 70s are easier or have the question progressed? -
Hi deardear07,
Sorry for being kaypo, though your question is directed to laughingcat but I’m butting in becos I sent my DD1 to shichida before too.Through my search I have found that many educational toys / program are rather similar or can be traced to similar starting point. So it’s not surprising that you find similarities between Jelic and shichida. BUT for shichida, the focus is on right brain training. They train on photomemory, speed reading, imaging, intuition, foreign language, fine motor skills, flashcards, etc. My DD1 was with them for 1y starting when she was 2.5yos. But when I was preg with number 2 I find it hard to continue. Now with 3 kids, it’s impossible for me to go with them. Plus everyday we need to work with the kids to see results. Of course I stopped when my DD1 was 3.5 yos, so I’m not able to share what shichida has for older kids.
But I still believe in right brain training so now I’m using home-based materials from US which is more suitable for my situation.
Jelic/MPM and shichida are very different in their emphasis, so depends what you are looking in an enrichment prog. Sorry couldn’t help being kaypo. -

My DD is in shichida for almost 5 years and is still there. There is a little similarities. Shichida deals with the left and right brain. They always start with right brain training and allocate last 20 mins or so for left brain activity. MPM material is similar to shichida’s left brain activity but much easier. For example book 71 standard which DD is doing now is equivalent to shichida training for 3 to 4 yrs old.

Though her kindy is further along in the subtraction and addition, I'm still ok because the other materials still interesting.SAHM_TAN:

If it's bothering you, you can check with the person-in-charge if he/she can conduct another assessment on your DD to fastforward
