Optimal Early Age Education Strategy "We focus on teaching 3-year-old children how to read and spell through a strong phonics foundation. As they progress, we guide our primary school students to master fluent reading comprehension of complex material and develop into highly confident, detailed writers." — Dr. Jeff Cheng, Program Director of Jolly Kingdom
The Cambridge YLE course is one of the most commonly recognized comprehensive English programmes. I believe there is definite help in English grammar and Primary One admission interviews. Therefore, we registered Jenna to study the Cambridge course at Jolly Kingdom. Jenna is rather good at English. With the motivation and guidance of Jolly Kingdom teachers, she becomes more interested in the subject, and does not feel the learning process dry nor difficult. I do not have to worry about her study. Since Jenna is learning well, many of my friends have been asking at which school Jenna takes her Cambridge course. At the end, over a dozen of my friends have their children taking the Cambridge course at Jolly Kingdom. We see Jolly Kingdom teaches the Cambridge course truly well.
Cherrie has been learning English Phonics at Jolly Kingdom since her Kindergarten. She has built a good foundation from early childhood. In the beginning, we chose to take the Cambridge YLE course because of the interviews, in order to have a commonly recognized standard to demonstrate her English standard. When she moved onto Flyers, we really wanted to know her English level and identify her strengths and weaknesses so that we could focus on strengthening the weak aspects. We also feel that the Cambridge YLE course has helped Cherrie learn English as a whole. During the course, there had been difficulties. Fortunately teachers at Jolly Kingdom were able to identify them and help her overcome them timely. That enabled her to finally overcome her difficulties and build her confidence.
In order to prepare Po for her primary one, I enrolled her in the Cambridge YLE course. During the course, she encountered quite a few problems. She found spelling and dictation very difficult. Fortunately, Jolly Kingdom’s phonics approach helped her a lot, and enabled her to master the course quickly. I am also pleased that Jolly Kingdom delivers their Cambridge YLE course by full native English teachers, and provides an English only learning environment, which accelerates children’s learning tremendously.
Angelo is very interested in English. He has been learning Phonics at Jolly Kingdom before studying the Cambridge YLE course. His English is good at school. In order to see how good he is internationally, we decided to take the Cambridge YLE Test. We also believed that it would help him with his English skills and Primary One admission interviews. Angelo was very pleased with his score after Starters. He is much more sure of himself and is eager to continue with Movers and Flyers. Many friends would like to achieve the same as Angelo and asked how he did it. We always recommend them to join Jolly Kingdom.
As your child progresses through their early English learning journey, one question often lingers in parents’ minds: “How do I know if my child is keeping up?” A phonics assessment is one of the most effective ways to find out.
