Thanks for the link!
I kinda like it (STELLAR)
oredi, its like ala speech
and drama programme..
Interesting ways to intro
language to children. I
have some of the props
they feature in the link,
used for my speech and
drama lessons.

Looking forward to having
the programme at my girl's
school!

buds,

I like the programme too, and I am looking forward to it.

I still remember having to memorize entire lists of present tense/past tense/present perfect tense etc of words from the very thick grammar text book. I am happy that they don’t use it any more.

Tamarind,


Thanks so much for your reply appreciate it!

Hmmm.. my girl is now 3yrs 5 mos so I think its about time too.. I found out some information on Zoophonics and was contemplating if should send her there or not too, maybe I should find out more on the Montessori phonics enrichment class near Lakeside MRT station first den do a lil comparison myself

BTW u heard of Edufarm at 653A? They oso provide Phonics class and was wondering how good they are too.. hmmmm :roll:

kai,
Yes I used to send her there every Sat afternoon.

I have not heard of Edufarm.

Have you tried teaching your girl phonics yourself ? You can try the following free websites :

http://www.starfall.com

or use the Leapfrog DVDs.

Remember to also start a reading scheme with your girl, phonics alone is not sufficient

Yes I am very happy to find a PCF which is good value for money

For N2 class, they learn mainly the alphabet and numbers. They do worksheets and practice writing letters and number everyday, not drilling, less than 10 letters or numbers a day. They mostly learn through play. They also read regularly from simple books like this.

This is the reading checklist given to the parents after completing each book.

Here is one of their newsletters to parents.

They also have Chinese lessons every day. They learn to read and write very simple Chinese characters, and also read a number of Chinese story books like these. They also learn to recite Tang poetry.
