Hi, I may want to spend some time reading bed time stories with him. When I came aus, teacher feeedbacked that my girl's eng std was not good though her math is one yr ahead. So I started to read to her everyday. Her eng level has since increased from 14 to near 20 within 6 mth here. Now she is the only one using higher level reader in class.

Reading is important. It definitely helps. It really takes time and effort to do it...

I heard the wait list is long. You may refer to iCL thread.

Personally, I think ICL for P1 is not really as fascinating as compared to their preschool programme. But I guess it might depend on the Teacher as well.


On the materials content alone, I would say its pretty close to what you in most schools and the usual assessment books. If you’re looking for "extra" edge, then its not the most ideal choice.

P1 headstart fee is at $390, if I remember correctly.

May I ask if Learning Point is suitable for upper primary (P5/P6) ? Heard that the kids need to sit for an Entrance Test before joining the program… Is the test very difficult ?


Has anyone tried LP at Thomson Plaza ? Thank you…

Hi Parents,


My P3 gal is very bad with comprehension.
Can anyone advise how to help her improve? Any english tuition centre or enrichment class to recommend that can help her?
I desperately want to try to see how I could assist her before her final exam. She didn't very well in her comprehension part of her mid-year exam and now only manages to get half mark out of 6 in her recent test.
:scared: I let her do assessment papers and go through the wrong answers with her and the passage but didn't seem to work..

Sorry but I cannot seem to find any posts regarding Mindchamps English Programme.


Any comments on them? Are they able to help a child learn to read or is I Can Read a better programme?

Thanks
