HI tinkerbelle,

No,LSM is 8 periods per week and the gals are taken out during their regular math class into another class max size 8 gals.
Thanks for your moral support.I'm just happy and comforted that my gal is learning and she is happy...no matter how \"backwards\"anyone else might think of her :love: :love: :love:

Hi funkymonkey,

You're a indeed a supportive & hands-on mum. Very dedicated to your DD and always ensuring her well-being is not compromised. Can see your love for her is unconditional. Yes, the most important thing is your DD is happy. :lol:

Hi Tinkerbell, thanks for letting me know that it is about that week. Wow, you all are very fast with keeping up with this forum. So sorry, I only get to check it every few days as really don't have the time to sit down much. Running around too much. Life in Singapore is really a rat-race. Hardly have time to quieten down. Well, got to go. Thanks to all of you, at least I get the chance to read about what's going on in MCS! Thank you! :thankyou:

Thanks Tinkerbell, I was just wondering when I can visit the school. Wrote them an email but never got a reply. Guess everyone's busy with the CNY holidays :). At least now I know about when the open house will be, thanks for info :). I suppose I hv to find out from the school website for the actual day, correct?

Hi Gin,
In the past few years, MCS Open House was held in May (the last week of the sch term). If there are no changes this year, guess the open house will be sometime between 23/5 - 27/5. Ya, definitely a good idea to check the sch's website in May to confirm the actual day. :lol:

Hi jesyeo,


I agree with funkymonkey, once you know what help your DD needs, it is easier to help her. I have seen it work in my friends and their children who are diagnosed as dyslexic overcome the challenges that they face. Alot of love, confidence, courage, patience, one on one hard work and focus needed but it can be done. There is hope. Most important now, continue to read with and to your DD, instill the love for learning in her and she will cope better.

Hi funkymonkey,

The reason why I wanted to know is because I am a bit worry on my DD2. When she try to read, she tends to start from the right to left. When she trace words, she also start from the right. This morning she wrote a number 4 for me, and guess what, she wrote a mirror image of 4! Is that a sign of Dyslexic?

Hi jesyeo,
How old's your DD2?
Some kids especially the lefties do some reversal letter/mirror image.
My gal sometimes write \"ouy\" instead of \"you\" and will even miss reading words..reading from right to left (we worked on this for SO LONG) and and misread words like \"far\"as \"for\".They have poor phonetic awareness and rhyming is really difficult for them....i still remembered when DD2 was 3,she rhymed fat,bat, cat ,sat,yellow fellow and DD1 said\" yellow flower\"(!) :!: they complain words are \"moving\" on the board/book and gets headache when reading too long....
If your DD2 gets to K2 and still reads right to left cannot differentiate 6 and 9 poor rhyming and pnonics..maybe should get her tested just in case.It really helps when i knew what was \"wrong\" with my gal.its \"easier\"to help her once we knew what kind of help she needed :love:
Hope this helps :D[/quote]

Hi all,
Just want to share my happiness!!!
My gal did well for her spelling!
First one she got 8/10 and the 2nd and 3rd spelling she scored 10/10!!!
I'm really so happy for her coz she worked super hard...after the first spelling she practised till she had blisters on her thumb :!: :!:
i told her to stop but she said she maybe can get 9/10..
i told her if she can get 5/10 i'll be super happy coz i know she tries VERY hard...
No reversed letters at all! Amazing!!!
We never had spelling when we were in kindergarten......and her ex school mates got words like \"cow\" and \"moo\"!!!!
I'm going to e-mail her therapists next!!!!SOOOOO HAPPY

Wow, funkymonkey, your DD did well. :ugogirl:
