LEARNING

LEARNING Early English Literacy Classes for Young Children This specially put together 3-year programme is tailored for young learners between age 4 and 6 years old.

LEARNING offers home-based English literacy classes to young learners between age 4 and 12 years old using teaching and learning materials from SCHOLASTIC. The maiden programme offered by LEARNING is the Scholastic Early English Development Programme, in short, S.E.E.D. S.E.E.D. is a comprehensive and systematic language curriculum using Phonics and Whole Language Learning approach to teach the English language to young learners. Children undergoing the S.E.E.D. programme will be taught on how to read using the elements of music, arts and language, with a dose of fun and creativity in their learning process. Confidence in communicating in the language and the ability to read independently would be the end results of the programme, giving the child a sense of achievement as a confident user of the English language. These are some of the best foundations parents can give to their children prior formal schooling. Most important of all, in line with Scholastic's vision, LEARNING echoes that every child deserves the right to read. We are aware of the importance of literacy and its benefits towards a child's development and growth.

Conversation with a 4 year old boy who drew a picture of a lion dance in this afternoon class...

Teacher : I get you, dear. 'Tung-tung-chiang' is the sound made by the drums in a lion dance. So, you are actually drawing a lion dance.
Boy : ...(Looking and sounding annoyed)...Nooo...This is 'tung-tung-chiaaaang'. This is not a lion dance. This is 'tung-tung-chiaaaang' bah.

AMAZED. That's the word to describe how I felt this afternoon with the girls. Two girls arrived early for class and while waiting for their friend, they helped themselves to some pieces of papers I kept in a box. In matter of seconds, both sat in a corner and got busy. What was the result?

TA-DAAAAA~ A Row of Houses!

A child's mind is full of wonders, indeed.
