m2b,
Wow, good leh. the PAP kindy my son went to, doesn't teach beyond 20, and no addition and subtraction. therefore, no multiplication as well. But my friend's gal's PAP Kindy, the standard is very high, there's simple journal writing, nos 1-100, multiplication and division...
mine, jialat, needs to take the rocket and still can't catch up with my friend's gal, they are of the same year, except the gal is slightly older by half a year nia.

rona,
I din try natural Dr Woody did a c-section on me and he din say why. Then I asked him why, is it becos my bones too small? and he said yes wor.
So 2nd time i din wan to risk it lor .. straight go for C-section. Can choose date some more and dun wan to try natural and then c-section again, double the stress.
Me ah. Havent not decided to go for it or not ... let it go natural but by end of the year must decide liaoz ba.
For the family I mentioned .... I din really kept in touch with them or was really close to them, heard it through another friend ...
This chap suddenly told me abt it cos he knows I have 2 boys liao and who knows i may try for 3rd one and wanted to let me know to be careful if I ever get pregnant again.
Then saw the other message from another fren's fb status.
Hope they all dun feel too sad.

Snow,
I won't start Mae so early coz if too early, will be at the TCS stage...my colls' kids who were at that stage think it's a waste of $...luckily my #1 started at PRP stage and very fast progress to ICR stage...think PRP onwards is more useful...so I'm thinking of sending Mae end next year or in 2012 =) Maybe we can go HF 1 together then can jalan together when they in class hahaha

Think the T&C are pretty standard, the photoshoot only on weekdays 10am-7pm exclude PH, no extra charge if parents and grandparents shoot together w the kid etc...
For the full list of T&C read the attached file here:

Snow,
Actually I can't rbr clearly when Raine started but I know she was w ICR for about only a year or so...if I'm not wrong, she started when she was 4yo and stopped when she's 5yo coz by then she can read well aldy and progressing to comprehension which I can teach her at home
She started w PRP straight bcoz she had a strong foundation of phonics and abit of blending aldy (thanks to GUG and her cc)...and after 3 lessons at PRP, she progressed to ICR as the teacher felt that she is ready...
Yes yes, Zynn & Mae can be classmates again and create havoc in class hahaha =)

M2B, Snow, Rona,
I went for the I can read program assessment but Quan dun like the classroom, looks quite boring so din go lor.
I dun have a specific method to teach him but just kept reading books with him everyday and he picks up himself.
Dun do that much with Kai but hopefully he can pick up by watching his brother. He loves to read too.
Sometimes without proper phonics training myself, I oso dunno how to teach him how to form words in the phonics way.
When come to spelling it's even more tough - wonder what is a good method?
I wan to teach him myself cos teaching English and Mandarin I still can do, not like art ... i am not good in it.
Who has good pointers on that can share?

Good Morning Mommies!
Shint,
W a strong phonics backgd, spelling is a breeze for my #1...really! I just need to give her once (sometimes I even forget)...long and difficult words, she will try to pronounce herself before we correct her (if she's wrong)...but like what Snow says, it might differ from individual but for me, I give ICR programs a BIG thumb up! =)
At K2, she is reading those thick books w/o much pics liao...(glad she likes reading) But Mae doesn't seem to like read...she likes to terrorize the books!!!!
Hehe I'm not pro to gauge what level is Quan in but if you are comfortable and happy w teaching yourself, just continue =) Yes, I agree ICR is not cheap but glad it is over for #1...must save for Mae now hahaha

It seriously is a load off the shoulder when the kid can read by himself/herself. Now I only headache the spelling part cos the school dun teach at all.
So maybe I should enrol him into I CAN READ so he can be better with his phonics.
Should I start him now or at 5 u think?

me also someone who noe basic phonics nia leh, not in position to gauge...hee hee...
but think u can let him try the prp level directly liao if u wanted to enrol him in? =)
art is all about creativity, as long as u dun restrict them then everywhere can learn.
playdol model making, finger painting, shape stamping, etc.

Can you remember when did you starting spelling? A bit too early even before N1 leh. Dun pressure the poor boy.
I always remembered what my Professor told me:
One has a lifetime to learn. Kids should be learning at their own phase, it's sad to see little ones being pressured at such tender age of 2 when they should be laughing and playing happily. Let them build blocks, explore what's around. Dun follow the paper chase society and let the little ones suffer
It is no wonder the suicide rates are getting higher for those at younger age. Bcos this is the works of Kiasu parents that drives the kids crazy.
My neighbour's daughter is primary one in one of the most prestigious in Bukit Timah (shall not mention). Staying in Punggol and travelling to Bukit Timah to studying. EVeryday hear her playing piano and sometimes can hear the poor gal quarrel with the mother.
This is one of the shouting conversation we over heard:
Mum: Why are you so stubborn? Why dun want to listen to what I say?
Child: I dun want to do it
Mum: What is your problem?
Child: My problem is you!

Mrs Teng,
missed you!
Your neighbour's gal is very smart, knows how to quarrel with her mum. mine is not so smart, open his eyes in the morning and the first thing he does is switch on the tv and watch octo. and when he is back from school, after showering, the first thing he does is also switching on the tv and watch octo...
can die leh, my this boy.
but one thing i will never do is to send to school far away, like your neighbour's case. cos i think proximity is very important.

shint,
why don't you ask Quan to teach you phonics? since he is learning it in school, maybe he knows? and if he is doing well, i think you just continue to let him read on his own, read lots of books and i'm pretty sure that he will pick up spelling in no time. no need to push him so much ok? he is only going to be K1 next year? 2006 baby? same same like my #2...
