Comparing Pre-school English Reading and Phonics Enrichment

Dear Parents,

Can anyone recommend any reading classes, enrichment classes or even home base teaching programme for kids that are weak in reading and recognizing of words? My boy is 6 yrs old. When comes to daily conversation using words like “and” “running” “suddenly” etc he got no problem. But when comes to reading a book that appears same as above, he can’t even read or pronounce it. Here, if u can’t read and understand English, u can’t even go further in doing e mathematics in future.

I have been sending my girl to Lorna Whiston for the past 2 years (from N2 to K2)…I could see good improvement in her language!


Every week, she will bring back 2 books from the class and there is how she has built up her reading skill. On top of it, I could see her coping well with grammer. Frankly, I didn’t spend enough time to coach her English (coz I was Chinese educated) and I would say she learnt it mostly from the Kindergarten and Lorna Whiston.

Hence, I will recommend Lorna Whiston. In fact, my neighbour’s kid has attended Lorna Whiston since K1 until today (her kid now is in Sec 2 studying in Nanyang girls)…

Just called to enquiry for K2 kids. No more vacancy left now and they dont hve a branch in the west. Since no vacancy, they didnt mentioned abt the charges.

As for I CAN READ, I finds it too expensive. Cannot really afford.

Deb,

Tried the community centres. It's about $75 a term.

Anyone knows how much?

[ecbaby_1074]

For nursery is $170 for 8 lessons. 1.5hr/wk

Think will be slightly higher for K1/K2 but still much cheaper than I CAN READ or Lorna Whiston.

But they dont have any branch in the west area.
