hi Parents,


Anyone sending their kids to LCentral for phonics ? How is it ?

My 2 kids enjoy the lessons, the teachers make the lessons fun, apparently. But DS does find the spellings difficult, he's in K2, so I'm stressed up too; coming to the point that I'm thinking I should just let him enjoy the lessons, never mind the very low scores in spelling, and how much he actually absorbs.

DD is a top scorer in the class, she's in P1, still at the lift-off stage, joining the p1 class soon. My assessment is she doesn't need the class as she reads very well, but she doesn't mind attending as she finds it fun.

Hi MMM,


How old is your son? I m curious to find out if Lcentral will be suitable for primary school level. My DD is currently in Lcentral too, but she is only K2.

Hi i3mum,

My P4 and P3 are currently with Lcentral. They switched from BC after 2 years. Think we are very patient.

This is my P4's 2nd term and my P3's 1st term. So I can't comment much in terms of results at this point. As you know, you cannot expect them to do wonders overnite to language. There are still alot of area of improvement that my kids need to fix it themselves. But what I like about Lcentral is as follows :
* They are academic. The kids have spelling everyweek.
* They have structured materials that they do each week. Grammar exercises, etc.... The teachers will mark them and provide suggestions.
* They do compo and compre though might not be every week due to time.
* Native speakers so they are less likely to be hearing singlish speaking teachers.

My only confidence/ desire to try the program came from my mum's friend's son. He studied in one of the top primary schools and he did Lcentral from P4 - P6. He also switched from BC. Though he is not the top of cohort type but his PSLE scores was decent and he is currently in Chung Cheng Main.

For us, we are still monitoring the situation.

Hi MMM,


Thanks for getting back to me:)

I agree they are very academic, my DD in K2 also have spelling every week.

I read in another post that there is an experienced teacher specialized in teaching English and it is near my place: http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1131&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=90

I am contemplating whether to start my DD, as we will save time ferrying her ( and in future with my 2 other children). But then the con is I find it quite costly- $55 per lesson.

Thanks. BTW, which class is your K2 attending? I am thinking of switching my K2 for April class as well.

She is currently with Jan & Elly which she will complete her advanced phonics by June. She is also with LW english enrichment since K1. This helped her to read independently and introduce to more words but I feel that LW is not academic enough for P1 so I've been on the lookout. She just did the assessment and she has to do liftoff. Some part might be repetition but overall I think it's a good introduction given the comprehension, etc.... Though she knows her blending, it doesn't come automatically yet. So yes, most likely I've to switch her in order to ensure that she completes her lift off program by yr end so she is well placed for success program in P1. That means I've to give up my deposit in LW.
