Not that I know of. Anyway, it's easy to replicate the speed reading practice at home.
- choose an appropriate book (e.g. Picture book with 1-2 lines of words per page for 1-2 year old)
- read once with normal speed
- read once with high speed (twice as fast)

That's it.

In addition, need to do eye training exercises, especially for older children.
I bought a training set at http://shop.ibaby.my/?product-3920.html

Hi Kitty

Can I also have the contacts of the private tutor? I intend to engage a private tutor for my DS as I don't have the time to bring him to any centre. Thks

Hi Zoolet,


My friend's kid is thinking of joining them next year, and her kid turn 5 next year. Do you want to form a group and ask the school to open a class for the 5 year old kids? They need a mininum of 4 students though.

Hi S277400,

Sorry for the late reply. My DS's initial group was 6 students. They just simply closed it down because there is no teacher even though the 6 students are interested. The centre just asked the parents to find their own alternatives.

The 3 popular right brain schools in KL (I relocated here):

Shichida (son’s been attending this since 14 months, now almost 3.)
Heguru: from Japan too, very similar to Shichida, many centers in KL
Tweedlewink: started by founders experienced in Montessori method, who learnt about right Braun education and incorporated it into classes

Glenn Doman is one of the pioneers in right brain education too. But mainly through flashcards (English, Math red dots, now Mandarin too). But materials lack update for many years. It also has books on developing physical body and swimming. Yet I find it an incomplete programme.

We’re homeschooling family, practice Shichida Method every weekday.

- Linking Memory: 1-2 years old do 6 cards each time. 2+ year old do more cards. My boy loves this and is good at it, so we’ve been doing 10 cards each time at home, since about 2 year old. He can remember a sequence of 10 items easily.

- Foreign language exposure: through songs and short story. Sometime, hands on activities may introduce foreign language too. Just to develop an ear for foreign language. To really be multi-lingual, need more exposure at home. E.g. Play audio songs, read books etc. My boy is good at Mandarin and English, knows a little bit of Jap from Shichida class, speaks some Malay with helper, and tiny bit of dialect. Most toddlers can do this, with sufficient exposure.

- Senses: The new term is actually Heightened Sensory Perception (HSP), replacing the previous ESP. All babies are born with sharp senses. E.g. Baby knows when mummy enters room, without seeing her. When mummy is upset, baby feels upset too. It’s nothing spiritual. The practices are to help the child retain that strong senses. In baby and young toddler class, it’s often that the children get all or most of the answers correct, because their senses are very strong. At home, when my boy is sufficiently relaxed, he gets the answers mostly right too. He’s also very sensitive to hubby & my emotions. And knows for example when Daddy’s car is back, who Daddy is talking to on the phone, because he’s been practicing his senses: hearing, smell, taste, sight, touch, and telepathy with me.

- Materials: we buy from Shichida when we started. Then buy from bookstores or online stores if I find them in line with the method. (There’re many products riding on the right-brain wave, but may not be effective / beneficial.) I also make materials and flashcards. And exchange flashcards with a close group of like-minded mums.

Home practice: Minimum 15 minutes. We homeschool, so my boy has guided activities for 30min to 1+ hour, depending on his interest for the day.

We do lots of reading in 2 languages, and play audio songs / stories / poems in the background during his free play.

He also gets lots of free and creative play time.
