      must it be 100% correct in order to go into ICR-PRG? or just probably 70% to 80% of the sounds correct will do?

      [quote=\"thiasy\"]Hi

      Im sending my child for the assessment this weekend. Wish to check what do they normally do during the assessment?

      will test all 26 alphabets and individual sound? or just selected few?
      any books or words that they will be asked to read? any pictures to assist them? Do they emphasize alot on pronunciation? will they fail you if your pronunciation is not good?

      hmm... my son sometimes tend to miss out certain letters especially \"l\" & \"r\" For eg, \"clock\" becomes \"cock\", \"frog\" becomes \"fog\"? 😄

      Four years ago, my kids were tested on just reading all the 26 alphabets and their sounds.

      [/quote]You mean ICR Preliminary? Yes, must be 100% all correct.

        My child just went for assessment.


        He can recognize all 26 alphabets & got around 60% of the phonic sound correct. But the teacher assess him to be in little bear club. Thought little bear club is for those who can’t even recognize alphabets?

          How old is your child?
          Did you ask the teacher that assess ur child why he is placed under little bear club?
          My dd was 3 yrs old when she went for assessment. She could not get all the alphabet sound correct and was placed under TCS - thinking and creative skill.

            You can try My English School. My daughter goes for My English School and I find the teachers super supportive. The program is very much like I can Read. Though my daughter is already P1, She lack in her reading and sounds of the alphabet skills- but she knows her alphabet! THE teachers there understand and try communication with me about her progress each week! She is now better in the one above skill ( sound of ABCs ) and now channeled to he reading program. Its a little slow but I find the teacher working very hard to help her.

              My boy is already 2 yr 4 month. She say he probably will have v short attention span & not v independant. At this age, cant speak long sentences & have limited vocabulary. So I guess I will probably have to wait till he’s older bah… Find Little bear club too basic. At home also can teach.

                They probably placed him in Little Bear Club due to his young age. I would suggest you teach him at home for the time being and go for another round of assessment when he turns 3.

                    My sis enrol her son at 3 in ICR-TCS. She doesn't know how to teach phonics and no time to teach so she sent her son to ICR. The Kovan branch is good.

                        The icr teacher tat teaches the class will monitor each individual student progress. The teacher will allow the kid to take assessment If she or he thinks that the kid is ready to take assessment to progress to the next level.
                        If the kid passed this assessment, he or she can go to the next level.
                        My kids did not complete the whole ICR-P book before taking the assesment to go to next level, so i tink they need not complete the whole book.

                        But i tink at least must know first sound, middle sound, last sound and sound blending.
                        You can check with the teacher how is your kid progress and when she tink ur kid is really to take the assessment.
