I agreed with Mattewdad’s point that kids from SC Eng are slightly better than KV. As SC provides native speakers and phonics, so kids tend to have better Eng listening and spelling skills. I never worry about my son's Eng dictation. SC uses Oxford Reading Tree as readers. Kids are trained to enjoy Eng story books, especially Oxford Reading Tree series.
However, from only few months my daughter with KV, I found her Chi words recognition ability is beyond my expectation. I played with her with the cards from SC( which few years ago fm my son, SC only gave to us without proper teaching, my son did not know them even at the end of the year.) My daughter knows almost all of them, I was shocked with her proper phrase eg. for the word “石”, she would say “石” “大石, 山上大石多” . “媽” she would say “媽媽, 媽媽做家務”……Not just a few, they are up to 20-30 words. She recognized all of them! KV seems has her own techniques to train kids: In Eng, she knows “thick” / “thicker” with her hands showing. She smacked on a chair with her month say “on the chair” “I am sitting on the chair”, I found it is very interesting. In Maths, she can count one by one up to 50 (Eng & Chi). One more thing, they teach her the concept of plural nouns, eg one apple, two apples…. All these happened to my daughter who has been just with KV since Sept 07, 3 months. However, I myself taught my son few years ago instead of SC.
At last, the materials that SC used are only plain, without any colours. They are quite boring to kids while their school fee is comparative high. KV are using “Longman” pre school materials, they are colourful, systematic and all round education. In general, as a parent, we put our kids in a kinder, we expect kinder would teach our kids knowledge and train our kids behave well, and of course with reasonable school fee. That is the reason I highly recommend KV. |
