公文式英文課程

Jocelynchan

Dear parents,

Can anybody know that 公文式英文課程 is useful for children to improve English?

Is the school Kumon Hong Kong good for studying?

Thanks!

Dear Parents,

Any parents can share your comments? Actually, I want to find a good English class or phonics class for my daughter to improve her English especially in spelling and speaking.

Thanks!

公文式主要是訓練小朋友可以自學自習，每天勤聽ＣＤ，勤做功課，對於閱讀及寫作有一定的幫助，因可認識很多vocubulary，但對於speaking及串字幫助不大，而且他們的導師又不是native english tutor．想小朋友串字容易，首選學phonics.

Hi pmamylee,

Thanks for your advice. Do you know which school is better for studying phonics? Do you hear Jolly English Centre and SFA at HK Baptist University?

Thanks

agreed.學公文英只能加強listening and writing,重可以學vocub(但我覺得有時有d用詞可能比較唔實用(即好少人會咁講)),同埋佢地冇emphasis phonics(只係輕輕帶過左,如果完全冇底,就咁跟佢學可能有d困難.我自己個小朋友就係佢間kindergarten學左幾個月phonics(叫做有個底,但就冇再讀加深班)咁大部份拼音佢都ok ge(除左小部份,例如musician最尾唔係ci-an咁拼,而係讀做"順"音,同埋soldier最尾唔係di-er咁拼,而係"著"咁上下音....

I find there are a series of Kumon workbooks in the bookshop. The exercises are colorful & attractive. The content is well organized so that your kid can learn the related concept step by step. You can read them and find out what the content is.

Personally, I don't like Kumon courses because I think they are too boring.  

However, if you want to drill your kid progressively , Kumon course is a good choice.

大家好!
我是第一次發表個人意見同各位分享吓!
我個仔仔已學了Kumon Eng.一年.因沒有在家同佢講英文所以唸住可以打好D個底.實際上他識了很多生字.
開頭每次温習成20-30個生字.每日聽CD現phoncis個part己完成.現開始讀故事這套教材是深D.主任話出年一月會出一套啱東南亞的教材.我都唔知個仔會堅持到幾時,不過是有得着的.他的發音老師話不錯 : 兒子現年五嵗.

similar case.    my daugther just 五嵗
started Kumon English since Jan 05.
so far ok (from 7A to 2A now),
she can learn many vocabulary and
also started reading story.

the course also includes phonics in 3A / 4A course.
and seems the series is well organised.

But most important, your kid has to develop
the habit to listen the CD and write the homework
(around 10 - 20 page every day) maybe takes 30 min each time.

In addition, you can buy / borrow English VCD from library, such as Maisy, Snoopy, Cubeez and some VCD ublished by Singapore.  These will assist the kid
to cope with / not to afraid English.

It is GOOD for those kids not studied in English kindergarten.  And starting from age 4 or 5 is Good.

HELLO...我以前係公文式到做SUPERVISOR,所以好清楚佢既野,歡迎大家問問題!!
1.中文
佢地中文即係普通話,會念詩,都幾好,讀到咁上下先會教拼音
2.英文
我會覺得主要學到好多VOCAB,同埋ORAL會好好,但GRAMMAR就教得好小~~
3.MATHS
很好~~因為佢好注重基本功,會等你好熟個LEVEL先俾你升班!!而且很多小朋友都有很好既RESULT,可以超越學校LEVEL

my daugther has taken all the 3 subjects.
English and Chinese (Mandarin) ok.
but Maths. is too simple, only -3, -4 each time.

And when to started the Mandarin phonics at which
level ?  thanks.

婥蔚媽咪

MATHS黎講係好注重快而準!!你的小孩是否讀緊5A?要10張只可2張A,其他ALL100而且MUST BE　ＷＩＴＨＩＮ　５ｍｉｎｓ，先可升！！冇咁快見到效果ｇａ！！
ｍａｎｄａｒｉｎ：約４Ａ，ＳＯＲＲＹ，我唔係好記得∼∼

婥蔚媽咪

ＵＭ．．．睇多Ｄ本手冊，有ＷＲＩＴＥ成績ＧＡ！！
ＡＮＤ可以問下老師要達到咩程度先可升∼∼

sadsam

hello,婥蔚媽咪 我想問下呢---我個仔(k3)讀左公文英同數都有年幾時間喇,但近來我唔係好滿意個進度...因為我個仔三四個月之前係做緊+1 到+10,之後就係-1到-10,然之後近呢兩個月不斷咁重覆做返+1到+10,完全冇做返減數....唔好講話我個仔做到悶,我睇同幫佢對數都對到悶---上兩個禮拜同老師反影過....佢話因為呀仔d家課做成十幾二十分鐘(十張紙),係堂上都係做十幾分鐘,佢話夾硬比你上好難同公司交待.....我都知道淨睇時間好似呀仔未逹標咁,但其實我覺得個仔唔係做唔到十分鐘內,而係做到太悶佢冇心機去左遊雲所以先做咁耐.....因為我呢兩個星期特登改變策略,去買左幾包糖返黎,我同個仔講如果你做到十分鐘或以下我會請你食粒糖(但我揀比你食),若果做到八分鐘或以下的話你可以自己揀邊粒糖食-----呢兩個禮拜個結果係---12日佢自己揀糖食,兩日我揀比佢食.....咁代表佢根本做得到,不過做到悶"dom"時間黎做啫!!!!!
近排撞到個fd,佢個仔同我果個一樣大,同佢傾起,佢話佢都試過讀kumon,但覺得佢太'dom'時間所以就冇讀,而家轉左讀"史豐收",佢又話我讀左咁耐都仲係個位加減實在太慢,佢個仔已經學緊三個位加減喇.......

唉,我都唔知kumon真係'dom'我時間吖,定係佢地認為係加減1到10真係要擺咁多時間不斷咁做當打好個底,睇日先會做得好呢???請指點一下???thx

公文式 is aim at create "人造天才".
Force the kids to do exercise. Make them to have standard SEEM to be higher, beyond 1 or 2 years at school.
I've sent my son to join their 公文式 Chinese for 2 months when he was K3. He feel extremely boring. Now Chinese and PTH become his most dislike subject at school.
