Hi Supporter May I know do different school access kids differently? When a child is diagnose to have dyslexia, what sort of intervention is provided by the school if any and are all schools alike?

Hmm....seemed like I'm the worst mum in this thread who don't send my kid to the professionals. But its not due to me thinking I am fully able to teach him. Its the best choice I had. And I don't think there are parents here who think they are fully able to teach their kids with disabilities...

Hmmm... there seemed to be little response/sharing in this thread. Thought Dyslexia is one of the most common learning disabilities. Or is it all other parents had out source this to professionals. Today I brought my son out for breakfast. It happened that he spotted a sticker with the words...

Note: Below are just my own views and experience that I like to share with all parents.Not directed at anybody or to argue over anything. The method I applied on my son is also about making decoding automatic. And it can be acheive even without him realising it or knowing the rules of...

Err... did I say OG doesn't work? I'm just saying the method I learned to teach a dyslexics, which I do not know its OG or not, not full proof. Why...those exceptions to the rules.A normal child may not even know all the exception, what more someone who has reading problem. So that being the...

Actually there are words that end with "i" eg. broccoli & stimuli. My son knew "u" had 2 sounds and one of which is "oo". Infact he knew all the sounds of letters including those with more then 1 sound. But he don't know when to use them. That's why he is better at reading then spelling...

Hi dorie, Its seemed like your kids results are not too bad even without intervention. At least they didn't fail English. But don't understand why your son fail Chinese. I thought Chinese is by word recognition. My son's English is 40+, Chinese is 60+ and Maths 80+. Btw when I say my son...

Hi all Mummies &amp; Daddies, Would like to share another book I read recently written by a local author that had changed my expectations on my kids. Sorry.. read so many books till I can't remember the title and the author. It wrote: results > expectations = satisfaction results <...

Hi dorie, Wondered if you like to share your kids results after intervention. I remembered you said your elderest who never get >40% for Maths &amp; MT. How long did he take to just pass. Can PM me if you don't want to share openly.

Hi dorie, Thanks for your help.Why I reject your friend's help cos I don't know her and don't know you personally. I will feel bad if I accept your friend's help. And why I think I am able to help him cos I believed you don't need to be a English teacher to teach English so long your...

Hi dorie, Sorry, I miscalculated his age last time. He is a dec boy. born dec 2002. At DSA, he can get assess if he hits 6.5yrs. But school recommend 7yrs. That's how I keep confusing his actual age. Recently I got to know a P5 boy from his school who is dyslexic. He had attend...

Hi dorie, Thanks for clarifying about caregiver's grant. But $200 per yr can be enough to pay for maybe 1 mth's fee? To be precise, I am looking for something free or very low cost, but my family income is not low. So where on earth or in S'pore has such thing. And why I can't afford. Said...

Hi Narak, Thanks for your advise. Have not come to this forum for a long time as I had being doing plenty more research on how to teach my son to read. I realised that phonics will not help because reading is about comprehension and not just word recognition. He may be able to read all the...

Hi dorie, Had just PM you

Hi dorie, Yes, DSA is the cheapest I can find so far. But still we can't afford due to the many committments we had.My hubby needs to support 3 kids, me &amp; his parents. so total is 4 adults and 3 kids.My baby is currently taken care by a nanny who charge $800 per month for 5 days &amp...

Hi dorie, Thanks alot for explaining in such details.I felt that nowadays parents know more then teachers on their kids as we are the ones who really sit down &amp; guide them in their studies and therefore also the ones who knew best. I also felt sad when my son's teacher feels that he under...
