Does anyone have feedback on the ICR centre at West Coast Plaza? Thanks.

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. -
Anyone kind enough to provide some feedback on the one that your child is attending or had attended before? TIA.

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 …
