Hi TingMum,

Thanks for your reply regarding the P1 curriculum.  It really comforts me when I know that TSL teacher would help them to memorize the Chinese characters.  

For Kumon Chinese, I let my daugher tried 2 weeks during their free tiral period (I think the promotion is twice a year).   At that time, my daughter was studying Kumon Eng.  I found that it would be too much for her if I start the 2 subjects together.  I decided to let her continue Kumon English.

My personal experience is that my daughter established a very good habit in reading and writing during her learning of English.  Kumon's spirit is to let the children to learn by themselves.  Therefore, the teacher is not so important as she / he will not teach your kids.  They are the facilitator and help to develop the development (progress) program for the kids.

My personal opinion is if you would like to let your kid develop a reading habit, it would be good choice for Kumon.  Also, they could recognize many words in a period of time due to the repitition of the exercises.  However, when it comes to a stage that the level is far ahead from that the kids's age could handle, you need to stop that for awhile.  Like me, I just decided to stop Kumon Eng this month.  It really a bit hard for my daughter (just 5 years old) to memorize so many vocabruary.  I decided to let her suspend a month or two.  Let her feel more relaxed to catch up the class.  I would let her learn on her own pace for the large amount of vocabruary.  

Well... it really depends on what you would like to achieve.  To improve school results, I think private tutorship would be more effective.  If you would like your kids to learn a bit ahead, you could choose Kumon.

Hope it helps...

BTW, I am very happy to know all the parents here. :

HI 各位,

好耐冇入來了.  請問你地會參加 London Tests of English for Children 嗎?  

我睇過網站的SAMPLE, 對小一的仔仔來說, oral 同listening 在 quickmarch 或 breakthrough應都能應付.  但 written test, 他不太會spelling, 似乎 firstwords岩d.  SPRINGBOARD的written test怕他有些字不懂spelling, 考firstwords又會否太保守. 真是好難決定!  

有冇人會參加?  你地如何決定考的level?

TINGMUM and others,

I also want to know.

If we compare London Tests of English for Children to Cambridge Movers/Flyers (i.e. equivalent grading), which test is more representative or more useful when we show the results to the prospective secondary schools later on?

Can anyone share your past experience?

Thanks.

雖然我的小朋友未考過, 不過我會 buy Movers/Flyers, 因為比較 common 和多數學校都聽過呢個 test.

principal,

我問過多個小一家長都話唔考住, 等高年班先再考.

我幫阿女報左劍橋,所以不會再報london test,以免太辛若~~
阿囡近日成日好唔專心,中文字經常寫到錯哂,激死我~~唔專心係佢最大既障礙,真係唔知點幫佢~~

我仔都好唔專心架! 每晚都激我, 我發覺佢上堂真係好無聊, 上日佢功課寫得d字唔好, 我順手幫佢刷番佢, 點知越擦越黑! 原來呀仔打鉛蕊筆的蕊'釀'左入去舊擦膠裏 !

Heidi媽,

Your son is really creative!!!  
He can be a great inventor in future.

While we always say that kids in HK nowadays lack creativity, you should be very glad that your son possesses such attribute.

heidikl, principal,

吓! CREATIVE!!
現在講番好似好好笑, 但當時真係激c我, 擦功課已經有些嬲, 還越擦越黑, 真係好激氣架!!

的確好多時我地做家長的都要好高EQ,因為小朋友成日都有新花臣~~有時真係好激氣,但事後諗番又覺得每個小朋友都會有咁既階段~~唉...希望佢早D識諗,我都成日同囡囡講,成績係佢自己既,第日條路亦都係自己行既~~讀唔到又唔代表行唔到架,只係辛苦D咁解~~做父母既緊係想子女行條好既路架!!

TINGMUM

記得我讀小學生, 細佬太多動, 媽媽督佢做功課的聲浪好吵, 爸爸將佢錄後,播返比媽媽聽, 叫她要有耐性,包容. 我當時話比自己聽, 將來我一定不要做個這麼燥的媽媽......

幾十年後, 我一樣督個仔做功課,聲浪大到被個女用手提錄左,播返比我聽,喚起了童年的回憶,自己不禁笑起來.....

要做個EQ高的家長真不容易

冇哂人上黎既~~
好快又測驗啦~~我女病左一輪,miss左d堂,要追番呀~~好慘~~

TINGMUM

婥蔚媽咪 ,

呢輪好多人病呀, 希望婥蔚快d好返, 聽日open day可以返去玩.

呢兩個星期多位同學參加校際比賽要走堂, 老師唔會教太多新野, 所以冇返學幾日都影響唔大, 來緊幾日唔洗返學, 比婥蔚好好休息一下吧!
