It is very important as Singapore has a very advanced education system. By using phonics, a child can read as young as 3.5 years old once they have grasped the technique of joining 3 and more sounds together.
The minimum age requirement is 4 years old.
MyPace Phonics will be using the Montessori approach and the main materials used will be Jolly Phonics and Fitzroy readers.
Montessori focuses on Phonemic Awareness with a much greater emphasis on the sounds that the letters make, in the order of frequent use. Through this method, the child is able to recognize and manipulate tiny units of sound used to make words. This will prepare the child for reading upon achieving mastery of the phonemic awareness.
In MyPace Phonics, the curriculum is planned carefully by introducing small bite-sized learning at a time so that your child can have a better understanding in every class.
