hi Seanwife, I just spend about 2xs a week for my boy's spelling list. If the kid does not do well in the spelling test, it won't be repeated. A young child may feel the pressure of doing well for his/her spelling and all the more the parent needs to be encouraging. There was a few times he didn't do well and I just say it's ok, you can do better another round.Hi,
For mummies in Liftoff, how much time do you need to spend time on practising the spelling list? My kids are starting Liftoff next week, and I am worried about the spelling part...
If the kid does not do well for spelling in one week, will he/she be made to repeat it again the following week?
Any tips on making the spelling learning more effective/fun??
Thanks!
My hubby has this habit of teaching my girl spelling while sending and picking my girl to school verbally and then do the writing when reach home almost daily. Each time she spells correctly, my hubby will tell her \"Very good! Good job!\"!.
You can do the fun part by playing, eg. to spell, \"She\", the kid can do clapping or stomp the feet each time when he recites the letters as if he's marching. This can also help him to remember.
Hope this helps! -
Hi vfong1,
Thanks for sharing…Do the teacher also test on words tested previously? I notice that actually many of the words are actually sight words, so cannot really decipher by phonics rules, rather still need to memorize…and I notice that there are some words like ‘there, their’ which somehow not easy for them to remember…and when I test them too many times, they get turned off….my girls are 4 yrs and 3 months old (K1 in 2012), thus I really scared of putting them off if I try to push them too much on spelling…they are more interested to type out the words on ipad/iphone, but I also worried that when it comes to writing out the words, they will get stuck… -

No, the previous spelling list won't be used for future test.Hi vfong1,

Hi hi,
I am planning to put my boy into LC @ TB as he is starting in P1 next year. Currently he is in Kumon for english and i do not see any improvement in his reading as teacher keep getting him to repeat and repeat. As such, decided to pull him out and join LC. Can any parent share with me your experience?? -
Anyone have any feedpack for LCentral Tiong Bahru for their Primary English? Looking at P3 English next year.

Hi
LCentral more for young children? My child is going to P1 next yr and I saw a lot of kids going into the branch at Civic Centre.

My personal observation based on my K2 who joined in June for their lift off. She will be doing success 1 next year.Hi

Her reading has improved significantly. She is able to read the lcentral comprehension passage by herself independently. Usually 2 full pages.
I observed that there are alot of compre exercise (eg. read the passage, answer the questions which also brings about vocabulary exposure). Not so on grammar or compo writing.
For primary program, they focus on such items compo, compre, grammar, etc... I've 2 kids in their primary program. Didn't see much results improvement during this year's results. However one observation is that there are some improvement in my P4 though not significant at this stage. Thought of pulling out but my P4 said she wants to continue. One thing for sure is that it is a academic program. I also know of other parents who put their kids for primary program and benefitted. So it's probably a case by case. I feel that sometimes it also depends on the exam structure of the respective school, etc... In our case, still hanging on but during the hols, we are going to let them practise more on assessment papers.
