        ChiefKiasu:
        I appreciate that you are excited about Phonics Read, and want to get fast feedback, but one post in the right forum would have done the trick. I have removed the other postings you made in the other forums.


        Phonics Read appear to go by 2 names in Singapore:
        http://www.phonicsread.com/index.htm
        and http://www.phonicsread.com/index.htm (in collaboration with i3 Singapore Post)

        These 2 appear to be operated by the same group of people. They claim that children can learn up to 500 words in 6 lessons (1.5 months). They also appear to have a regional presence in KL and even Yangon.

        Their services appear to be quite similar to the more established http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/enrichment/total-literacy-international-pte-ltd programme.

        Personally speaking, given a choice, I would be more comfortable going with the I Can Read programme.

        My girl is currently at LCentral Novena on Phonics class.
        So far my daughter has improve her pronunciation over there.
        I think not only I Can Read is good, but LCentral Novena is good too.

            There are so many out there - Zoophonics, Ants on the Apple (?), Letterland and the list goes on.


            Which one is better and why? Appreciate all your feedback and experience. Thank you.

                  Are my 3-year old son suitable to take phonics class? We have trained him to read by memorising the words… I think this is the way we are being trained in our school days…so is Phonics classes useful?

                    Hi

                    My 4yo girl has been with ICR for 9 mths. She is placed in Thinking n creative skills class. She still cant figure out all the phonics so I am worried the program is going too slow…or she is not concentrating?? if I continue her , when will she be able to read simple words ?
                    I am thinking of switching her out but many seems to find the ICR program good, so I am stuck. Any advice?

                      Is the "Read in a week" program run by Kentridge? I went to their branch but the centre is a tuition centre …
