My elder son is going to N1 next year. 1. Would like to enroll him for phonics classes. Where is a good one? 2. School do teach phonics. Will I be confusing him if I send him for the extra classes? 3. What do you pack i his school bag, for a little boy, going to N1?

1. You can try I Can Read, LCentral, or Zoophonics. 2. Actually for this age, I feel that it's not really necessary to go for extra classes. He's still very young and school is more than sufficient for him. There are different phonics programmes out there and different teaching approaches. It might be confusing for him. 3. If he is in childcare, you will need a set of fresh clothes, towel, diapers(if needed), water bottle, raincoat(optional), and stuff like blanket or pillow for naptime. If its just short 3 hours, probably a set of clothes in case he soils himself, and water bottle. But to be doubly sure, you can check with the school if anyting else is needed.
