last time, we where go to nursery.. only go kindy then start P1. but kids these days go PG, N then kindy

lynn,

[keithnhazel]

MTDT (mtdt) : yes yes me in sengkang thread too

my son is in rivervale cc but not much results and still cannot say the sound of the letter.

 

[mtdt]

carefree childhood - sigh.. unless migrate. hahaha

well, think the only thing we can do for them is to keep them happy, stressfree (stress for ourselves enough) and well prep for every obstacle (so tat can keep happy n stressfree for the tods)

hahhaahha

 

[mtdt]

florence - ur boy in rivervale cc for how long?

my boy - he learns his phonics from DVD! hahahahha thereafter was reinforce in his cc. but he can only say individual letters sounds now. cant do any blending yet.

 

[keithnhazel]

MTDT (mtdt) : 1 month plus. learn in class, come home also dun know the sounds wor. so sad and worried.

 

[eunice_sng71]

btw how we koe kiddies koe phonics anot? is it like zoo phonics A= Ehh, B= bah bah, C= ke ke ke?

Is phonics impt? Even if kiddies knew how to say the correct words w/o learning the sound of letters?

I dun remember I learn all these. Straight away to learning words. hahaha...

PM188 : Where's my Zoo phonics lyries?

 

[eunice_sng71]

who kiddies know A-Z song? kekeke...

1-20?

 

[mtdt]

1mth nia... maybe needs more time?

u try to teach at home? reinforce wat he learns etc.

 

[pm_lynn]

Hi Florence, welcome

Leapfrog pdts...fridge phonics to learn sounds

Mtdt: think is Cool_D not me keke
Is ok .. check mine oos liao too

PM: xie xie ni
Can i have the zoophonics lyrics too

 

[mtdt]

Eunice - phonics is the new way of learning. supposely to be gd as it wld help in long term. the kid given any "new" word - can read by himself. the teacher just say a word - can based on the sound to spell it out.

there are still some words tat u need to learn by sight. those are basic sight words. but for long term.. shd be by phonics.

my boy cc - spelling for older kids. not tr give a list for kids to go home to learn/prep. is impromptu, tr read out some words.. kids based on hearing to spell out.

Zav noes all A-Z. song n reading. noes all A-z phonics. noes 1-30.

 

[keithnhazel]

MTDT (mtdt) : wanna start teaching at home myself but this mummy hopeless with phonics. so looking for materials to learn and teach also. wahaha!

can i have lyrics for zoophonic song too? or better still the song itself. wahaha ...

 

[smurf_ling]

hello... hello.. all..SHORt intro.. me FTWM staying in sengkang... invaded in here when i rented a flat in punggol last time..therafter shifted to sengkang... but stayed in this thread.. coz kiddos ard same age.. all mummies like online shopping .. and met up with the mummies n kids here regularly... i got a boy born in feb 07 and another girl coming up next month... shucks.. next month sounds so horrifying..

eunice
the feb 07 mummies oso did a recent survey on counting 1-20 and singing the a-z song.. QY can count 1-8 (no meaning, cannot relate with actual object) a-z song he can sing but misses some alphabet (like counting, cannot relate to numbers).. ehhh when u become soo kiasu.. last time u bor chap bor chap leh..

frankly speaking, i have lost touch with his development stuffs oredi... all that in my mind is that he is well fed daily and bathed... and sleep...

 

[keithnhazel]

Sng Su Huang : my boy 4 yrs old knows most of the alphabets and 1 - 20. slow hor. my daughter knows 1 - 12 and some of the abcs.

 

[mtdt]

[mtdt]

[smurf_ling]

florence

[smurf_ling]

mtdt

[keithnhazel]

smurfy (smurf_ling) : half half. hehe my off days are weekdays and 1 weekend. and i work some days from 830 - 3pm only and other days are from 12 - 7pm. so can get to see ur boy. he is adoreable. use to see ur blog. but u very long never update le.

 

[mtdt]

phonics

last time we blur blur one mah. tr give 20words, we learn 20words.

21st word comes - we blur, stuck - ask tr/parents.

but with phonics - maybe/supposely kid can DIY learn the word. the word might not be new... used everyday, he might noe the meaning. but just tat in word, he cant read it.

tat's wat i think lah.

 

[eunice_sng71]

Smurfy : Sms from Huajing some received. We will talk likely in e-mail. Petite did sugguest on something and we working on it.

Yr TW items still with me. I see when I go SK. now seldom liao

A-Z songs/ 1-20 : Smurfy QY and Elbib alike. I tink he sings very well with no meaning

I ask him how many items. Everytime is 2

All new mummies : kekeke... dun mind call me Eunice? U all call my full name sounds funny

Anyone gg admirty? I need blank flash card

 

[mtdt]

Sight words - like "THE" "THERE" "THIS" "IS" "ARE".

words tat cant explain? and often used. U can explain how to use it. but the word itself no mean. Think so

these words are used so often - so i feel better to learn from sight.

[keithnhazel]

Eunice : my daughter now likes powerpoint flashcards more than real flashcards. hehe so i can save some paper. wahaha

 

[smurf_ling]

florence

Zoophonics song lyrics:

Allie, Bubba, Catina Cat.
Dee Dee Dear, and Elephant.
Francie Fish and Gordo too.
They all live at the zoo.

Honey Horse and Inny who?
Jellyfish and Kangaroo.
Lizzy, Missy, Nigel do.
They all live at the zoo.

Olive Octopus is sweet.
PeeWee Penguin’s tux is neat.
Queeny Quail her babies too.
They all live at the zoo.

Robbie Rabbit in no stew.
Sammy Snake and Timmy too.
Umber, Vincent what a crew.
They all live at the zoo.

Willie Weasel, Xavier Fox,
Yancy Yak just talks and talks.
Zeek the Zebra welcomes you.
Come meet us at the zoo.

Zeek the Zebra welcomes you.
Come meet us at the zoo.

matt can count from 1-10 (no prob), 11-20 (usu can count all but occassionally miss out one or two) and these days, he's counting to 30 or 30+. but i dunno whether he really understands or not.

he can also advanced to using 'I', 'You', What, This etc. he used to only call himself by name.. but these days.. he'll say 'I want to...'
