Maybe I would check with TBP LCentral again on whether weekday Bruce is available for the foundation program.

Titank, have your check with Lcenter, i think they should have.

Bruce is not availabe on weekday to teach the foundation program.I would have to wait until the new teacher that would come in July.

My ds (P1) has been with LCtral for two months (5 sessions) but i am considering not to progress with it upon completion of the total 11 sessions. reason being that i feel the efforts are duplicate.


however i am considering to enrol my dd (K1) for launchpad but i am not sure whether she can be entitled to the 10% disc and $30 voucher that i got when i enroled ds months ago. the 10% disc and $30 voucher were stated to offset ds’s next term tuition fee.

any experience ?

thanks

Care to explain whay do you mean the effort are duplicated?

the curriculum (Success) is too exam-focused.

kids can learn more at school. Stellar program is richer…
enrichment can just reinforce part of what is taught at school…

In his pre-school time, he showed no interest in Eng. Fortunately, his primary school FT is very inspiring. The effect is profound…
On the hindsight, I am afraid I am “overdosing” ds with something(esp exam-focused) that is redundant. The weak area of ds is writing though his score for SA1 is one of the highest in his class.

in short, LC might not suit the need of ds. What he needs is Writing program…

I think like wise where wonder English enrichment would be good? I'm more concern on grammar & creative writing meaning compostion.


LCentral is very examination focus? If the particular school have STELLAR mean it is very good already?

enrichment program would be good if it could be customized.
yes, in its curriculum(Success) it is stated clearly that it is exam-focused....
suggest u to take a look at it next time u are there...

of coz STELLAR itself is very good...

i remember last time LC offer writing holiday intensive course, but not sure whether gd or not. personally i feel to improve one's writing skill, kids need a regular course in a longer time..... I am also searching for a good writing course for my DS.

Hello All, I am right now in a dilemma… My DD(K1) is currently in ICR advanced reading class. In the lesson, they are taught either to write sentences, grammar and some comprehension. A different book will be given every week and there are 3 stories in it…Some of the stories are repeated from ICR Stage 1 except they are now without any guided codes…Lesson is quite simple and she is coping very well…She had just started on this programme for about 2 months…


I had previously sent her to Lcentral for assessment and she can start on their SUCCESS programme.

Actually I thought of transferring her to Lcentral since the programme seems to be more structured and comprehensive than the advanced reading class in ICR…I did look at Lcentral’s material and they are tailored to primary school curriculum…

During the assessment in Lcentral, teacher had commented she reads accurately and with a high standard of fluency…Should we stop her advanced reading class in ICR? Any parents has any good feedbacks to share??

You would have to decide for yourself as whether to continue with ICR or quit ICR & join LCentral. If you are not seening results from ICR, why not do a switch.
