hi evolv, you got a phonics teacher for your daughter already?
Hi ixoraf,
icreativelearner teach phonics too! My girl is under Ghim Moh by Teacher Pearlin. I will recommend if u r looking for a small group (6pax max) plus fixed teacher for their whole prog fr Nursey to K2! BUT, U will need to revise with your kid daily fr flash cards, worksheets, poems etc...
As my elder had been the prog for 2yrs, even now I switch her to a daily prog in Zoophonics, I still let her continue at icreativelearner as my girl enj the lesson cum the Teacher is great! She will hold back your kid if she need to give 1-1 coaching!

Hi ixoraf,
I am a kiasu mummy, my main concern is that I want my kids to read by their own when they are in K2. Initial my elder was in PAP Nursery, so I enrolled her for enrichment lesson in icreativelearners for English. (once per week 1.5hr)
I would recommend icreativelearners if you will to send your kid for enrichment lesson on top of those ‘normal’ pre-school programs. But have to keep revise with the kid what was learned for that week. My elder started in the year when she is turning 4yrs with icreativelearns, she learned to write her ABCs, the sound, her name and etc. My elder really focus on her pronunciation, esp. those ending sound like ‘k’, ‘t’, ‘g’, ‘r’...etc.
Recently, I just switched my elder to Zoophonics for daily prog (Mon – Fri for 3.5hrs) as I notice that she didn’t really learn much in PAP K1. Plus I can’t find time from my schedule for extra enrichment lesson for Chinese and Maths. So after much consideration, I am thinking that why don’t I pay more for her daily lesson where they teach all 3 subjects. In Zoophonics, they are using material from Rigby Maths (http://www.rigby.com.au/) and their Chinese I would rate better than PAP as my girl don’t really speak Chinese but after attending Zoophonics for a mth+, she start to recite poems to me.
My hubby did asked me to stop her enrichment lesson in icreative, but I really like the teacher and the effort she helped on my slow learning girl. Plus I intend to let my girl to continue with icreative with their primary prog when she is older too.
As for the fee, icreativelearners is going to increase their pricing next year. Currently I am paying S$190 for 8 lessons (Weekend Class). As for Zoophonics, I am paying S$350 per mth (have discount if payment in 3mths)
Btw, I get to know Zoophonics is after I send my 2nd girl there. As the teacher from icreativelearners that nearest my place, might not take in weekends lesson for my 2nd girl. If you intend to send your kid to icreativelearners, you got to make a reservation FAST.

Hi Sher,
Thanks alot for the info! Was very helpful
My gal is now 4.5 yrs old & in K1 (PCF) this year. She already knew the alphabets from A-Z, how to write them & also how they sound like.. etc. She can also write her own name & knows how to read & spell a few words like apple, cup, cat, dog.. etc. Besides the phonics lesson she's currently taught at her school (once a wk), I also put aside some time every day teaching her myself, but I feel it wld be better to send her to a phonics class where she can concentrate better in a class environment with other children & pick up more things from an experienced & qualified teacher too =)
In this case, I'd better give them a call tmr to find out more. Thanks again for the feedback! Really appreciate it

Hi ixoraf,
I am not sure whether there is still have vacancies for icreative as most of the kids started when they are in Nursery. Now my elder one is in her 2nd year. I found that PCF pace is rather slow (maybe I want to "stress" my girl..haha)
As I compare the materials from Zoophonics , they are learning punctuation, writing simple sentences, daily phonics lesson on blending ..etc. For Maths lesson, they cover simple fractions, measurement, 3 dimensional figure..etc. For Chinese, some Chinese poems, punctuation .etc
As for icreative, initially they start with creative writing skills plus flash cards, now my girl is at the stage with poems and creative drawing which include speak bubble (let them learn to write sentences) and weekly short phonics story plus some reading worksheets for blending sound.
Actually I found that my elder is rather confused in the teaching in Zoophonics and icreative, but I do notice that she start to blend the words slowly by herself. My girl is a slow keen learner, she need to practice daily. I am surprise by the sentences she wrote by herself. Eg. I am a girl, I am hungry, I play with my friends..etc.
What I get to learn from my girls, is really depends on the parent and kid effort for their learning skill. I can send my kid to a better school but I also need to spend time to guide her. Like my 2nd girl, I try to coach her, but she can’t sit still for more than 15mins. It really take time and effort to see ‘results’!

Hi Sher,
Ya agree.. kids at this age usually hv v. short attention span & they're extremely active too so it's really difficult to get them to sit down for 15-20mins & really listen to u. My gal has the same prob too & so does her friends & other kids her age whom I knew. Even though she might be a fast learner, I feel she can definitely benefit more & be able to pick up more things from proper coaching & with me guiding her along the way, which is why I'm thinking of sending her to a phonics class to speed up her learning.
Anyway, tks again for sharing. I have not call them up yet but if the class is really full, I guess I'll hv to enroll her elsewhere then cos there's quite a few centers ard my place which also offers phonics class as well. Just tot since ur gal has attended icreative before so juz wanna get some feedback from u 1st =)
Thanks again & have a great wkend!

Hi ixoraf,

Hi,
My girl at her 3yrs 7mths has already know A to Z and alphabet words. She is also attended and finished the phonic class level one. Anyone knows should she continuing for other phonic at this age? This school is rather slow as my girl is fast learner. The school seem to drag my girl a bit longer before going to level 2. Does anyone experience level 2 and does age take into consideration before going level 2 Phonics?

Hi,
I heard good reviews of icreativelearner and would like to register her for next year's class. I contacted the principal and however, most of the the slots are fully taken.
Does anybody has the teacher's contacts to share with me? I hope to check with them whether they can squeeze me in.
I am also thinking of asking them to open up classes in the North or Northeast areas. Anybody keen? If we have 6, I can try to talk to the principal.
Pls PM or email me at [email protected]

Hi,
I am an editor with more than 10 years of experience and I have an excellent command of English. I am now offering phonics classes to toddlers three years old and above. Class size will be small - limited to four per class - because I believe a small teacher-to-child ratio is important.
The reason for starting this class is because I was sorely disappointed by the few phonics classes that we attended. Unfriendly teachers with a poor command of English, a large class size and a poor academic outcome. Although we had paid for the term, I gave up the other classes when I heard the teacher say "green colour pencil" instead of "green pencil". She was doing more harm than good.
I have edited numerous regional publications and newspaper articles, including those by native speakers. My child knew her phonics before three and now she's learning blends, the silent "e" rule, etc. She's not yet four but she has read so many books that I have lost count. Unfortunately, I was a full-time working mom before I stopped full-time work and now, I am finding it hard to correct the Singlish she picked up from everywhere. It is much easier to learn it right the first time.
I am now a part-time working mom. Classes are available on weekday afternoons and they will be conducted at my home. We will use a curriculum from the US and because it is home-based, your child will be exposed to real day-to-day items to expand her vocabulary. For example, she will smell a whiff of perfume when we learn the word "whiff" for the "wh" blend. There will also be word games and activities in class.
I have a B.A. and did Linguistics at NUS.
Please feel free to send me a private message or email me at [email protected].

Hi, I am also staying in sembawang.
I like to check out if there are good classes for my son who is 2 plus turining 3 in Jan next year.. He has attended GUG since he was about 2. But up to now, he still cant do the zoo phonics and at times still walk around when he gets bored
Initially he was very good on his concentration but cos we changed his timing to 3plus close to his nap time and class ratio quite packed at times. he gets distracted once in a while.
Please Pm me if any good weekday enrichment classes for him near sembawang area? Please advise me asap?

Cheerio..
