Jolly Phonics Vs RWI
Any comments on them? Which one is better?
How to purchase RWI materials in HK?

I don't know which one is better.
but Read Write Inc. (RWI) materials (story book, flash card etc) can not buy except you join the class in their register centre or from your children school which use this materials in HK.

However, public library have RWI story book and you can borrow it from there.

Jolly Phonics cover 42 phonics and RWI covers all 44.

Most UK primary schools use RWI.  I have most of the course materials and I find them quite useful and easy for children to understand.

Do they focus on the spelling patterns ? Can RWI cover stress,intonation, linking etc? I have no idea how to learn the continuous stream of connected speech indeed. Thanks for sharing.

I think phonics enables a basic understanding of the sounds of letters and groups of letters, blending and segmenting, which can improve a learner's ability to recognise or reproduce a word.

However, it doesn't really address stress and intonation. These can be learned by listening to the speech pattern of someone who speaks fluently. Word stress can also be found in dictionaries, if you're able to read IPA. The syllable that carries the stress is identified by a '.

Connected speech comes with a much higher level of fluency, as some sounds are omitted and others are added to make the words flow. For instance, in connected speech when you say 'You are' a /w/ sound appears between 'You' and 'are'. When you say 'I don't know' the /t/ is not pronounced.

I'm interested in RWI course as well. Does your kid join any course or taught by yourself? If attending class at centre, any recommendation? I only know 'ABX Pathxxx' & 'Kiddxxxxx'
Thanks

我個小朋友學了RWI差不多一年, 但好像教得很慢, 有很多音還未教. 我看那些書時, 覺得好像沒什麼系統? 真不明白他們是怎樣令小朋友學懂的. 而且要學那麼長時間, 是否值得?而且學其他課程的小朋友可能已經全懂了, 但他們可能還未教. 但學了那麼久, 放棄又可惜?不知怎麼辦?
