Former I Can Read teacher AMA
-
Hi my kid is now k1. As she has joined ICR since 2.5 yo, she has already cleared all 3 prereading levels and going to be promoted to reading class next month which I heard is a 1 year course.
After that I heard that there is ICR academy which is for pri 1 onwards.Would like to check with you if she finishes the reading class and turns k2 next year, there will be a year gap until icr academy would commence? Is she on the right track, or should I suspend her until she is k2 for reading course so that she can transit smoothly to ICR academy in the following year.
Thank you for your kind advice!

Hi, ICR has something called a pre-reading course which is actually pretty good - it’s not a very popular course and availability is pretty scant as a result but I actually think it is one of the times that ICR really hits a home run in taking a fun and creative approach to learning. However - if you’re focused on more intensive academic stuff it probably isn’t for you and you should likely suspend. Honestly - every teacher I met there loved teaching it though.

@Globalcode apologies, I meant to say pre-primary* not pre-reading

hihi, sorry to trouble you again, not sure if you can share any insights to Oodles Learning (as i randomly found out that they are under I can read) - aka even share same office. (eg West Coast plaza)are you aware of their teacher standard, course syllabus, any comments? feedback?
or should I find other specialize Math enrichment school instead.
Thanks

@baobao88 hi, I’m not able to offer much insight into Oodles - they merged during the last few months of my time at ICR and the Oodles staff seemed nice enough, but I know that at least originally they offer a very different service. Oodles teachers are much younger, and much more commonly Singaporean - it’s almost more like tuition than a tuition centre id say.
