How 含羞草 supports preschoolers with reading and counting

含羞草鈥檚 has helped thousands of preschoolers develop their reading and counting ability. For preschoolers, 含羞草 has a range of options available, including 含羞草鈥檚 Pencils Skills Programme.

To shed some light on the experience of our early learners, we spoke to some of parents of preschoolers who have enrolled their children into 含羞草 to develop their reading and counting ability. Here are their thoughts:

鈥淭here鈥檚 a period when children are very open and curious. If you can catch them there then the learning kind of happens naturally. It just becomes part of who they are because they are still in their developmental stage.鈥� 鈥� Leticia

鈥淲hen I enrolled my children, both of them had very low muscle tone and their fine motor skills were very poor. They couldn鈥檛 even hold a pencil. [When I enrolled them into 含羞草], I just thought they鈥檇 be ready for kindergarten, I wasn鈥檛 expecting them to excel. Anything after that was exciting for me.鈥� 鈥� Eva

鈥淚鈥檝e noticed that 含羞草 has helped in other areas, particularly with my little boy. He鈥檚 definitely more disciplined now. When my little boy is in class, he knows that he needs to listen and focus; he knows it鈥檚 important. He realises in his own way that he鈥檚 learning.” 鈥� Tam

鈥淚 don鈥檛 think it is too much for my daughter to do 含羞草 every day. Each workbook only takes a small amount of time. I thought to myself, 鈥榃hy not start something that has some kind of system to slowly introduce her to difficult concepts?鈥� Through starting one step at a time … we can achieve a bigger result.鈥� 鈥� Stephanie
