Letter Land

mama724

marieyuen,

as per your opinion, my son is 6 years old and he learn the a-z sounds already from Jolly phonics and Jolly phonics not concerate at blending and i would like him to start to learn blending the words.

Which products should i buy at letterland system about blending the words?

Can i teach him if i buy some teaching guides at letterland or i need to sent him to the letterland training ctr instead?

請問有邊間幼稚園係用 Letterland?
去 ETC 上家長 letterland 使用班好嗎? 上完可以完全識應用嗎?
如果本身唔識任何拼音, 英文程度又普通, 家長可只睇 Teacher's guide 自學嗎? 有咩困難?

Dear all,
I plan to start home teaching of Letterland to my sons. Actually, the sharing in BK drew my attention on this product two years ago. I know that it is a trend to let kids learn about phonics. It is one of the main focuses in the Primary English new curriculum guide.
When my elder son was in K1, there was no phonics teaching in his school. So he joined a afterschool phonices class which was organised by a new brand company. I found that my son could not learn a lot. I knew little about the class. I was too busy ( the third baby eas born) and seldom did any follow-up.
Last year, phonics was part of the curriculum in his school.  They used the textbook "honics for Kids" from Longman. From my point of view, it is a commerical decision rather than considering the quality of the product. You know the marketing skill of  Longman is really excellent! Many of the primary schools and near 100% of EMI Schools used their products.
At the end of last year, I joined the intensive one day training course in Letterland. I was interested  in usind this product. However, I was still busy ( a working mun with three kids + self studying) . As I wanted to have a good starting, I kept all things in my mind.
Up to this moment, I have already finished my self study, I can concentrate on this BIG  PROJECT.
I went to the showroom yesterday. I was shocked as the price of some product is much higher than before. The teaching guide is over $500. The software is $775( it was available few months ago). The Early year Handbook is out of stock.  Finally, I only bought the ABC Book and the magnetic letters.
I need to go out now. Latter, I will share what are my concerns on buying this product. :wink:

any mum please kindly inform if letterland explain ui as in fruit and biscuit. thanks

Hi ALAL,

Letterland does not deal with "ui" in particular, probably because not many English words contain letters "ui" and not many of them sound /u:/. Fruit is /fru:t/; Recruit is /rikru:t/; But biscuit is /biskit/.

Of course, you may make up a story of your own.

I would like to know:-
1.  If I want to know how to pronoun the alphabet, short vowel, long vowel, etc, should I buy the "alphabet songs CD" only or I should also buyt the "software" which for HK$775?
mckong
I look forward to your evaluation on Letterland phonic, please share with your thoughts and how do you think we should teach our child with Letterland phonic, as I think, as a parent, we do need deep understandings of Letterland before we teach our child.  As we might not know how to pronoun the alphabet when they are short vowel or long vowel, etc.    Please advise us how to teach and learn.  Thanks

hi Jokey,
Nice to meet you again.
I am teaching my son Programme Two, but I am not good at Phonic at all. So still have few questions:

1. there is 'eer' in poster but why no 'eer' inside the book?
2. I don't have program one. Soft c only appear in ce,ci,cy and hard c appear in other cases. Is this true? thanks.

My English pronounciation improve a lot but my son know the stories but seems cannot apply well (in term of reading an Eng word by himself and hear a word and dictate)? You have any idea on that?

p.s. alphabet song CD is more useful than CD Rom
