Comparing Pre-school English Reading and Phonics Enrichment

[vlim]

When my dd was in end of k1, i decided that i had to do something to improve her phonics before she go p1. So at beginning of k2, I went to kinokuniya to look out for phonics teaching set to coach my dd peronnally. And it worked! After about half a year of training, my dd are pretty good at it and can enjoy reading story books by herself and if someone would to ask her where she got to learn her phonics she would say,\" my mummy taught me\" and that makes me very proud of myself for putting an effort to coach her personnally

I could not remember the exact name of the phonics learning set. it was placed somewhere near the info counter at the children section. It comes with 3 sets starting for kindergarden,grade 1 and 2 if i did not remember wrongly. Each set cost about $100+. the set include learning cards, books, vcd and it is produced in usa if I did not remember wrongly. I found it very useful however u have to follow to the instructions of how to carry out the phonics learning. I very kiasu bought 3 sets in a go but i stop the coaching after set 2 as I found my girl already pretty good at it... You can check with the information counter at the children department if you are keen.

My guess - that should be the Hooked on Phonics program - http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=hooked+on+phonics&x=0&y=0 ? But it has no VCD. Only audio CDs.

We didn't use the instruction books but the readers that come along with the sets are interesting. They range from simple to chapter book readers.

Hi


My daughter is 4 this year. I’m torn between signing her up for the I can read program and the ICL program. Any feedback about either program? Thanx!

Anyone knows where to get it cheaper locally?

Hi Titank,


Does I Creative Learner required children to bring back any reading books or homework to do?

Is this phonics base program?

How long can you see the result as in reading simple books by himself?

Thank you

Hi Charmaine_chong,


I'm not very sure about the program (ICL) but from what I had spoken with the staff, she told me by age 5 should be able to read. My DS did not attend the ICL & now letting my DD to try.

Awating for the oridentation to have a better knowledge on the program.
