I Can Read - Discussion

[genmai]

Hi piglet and calf,


Wow! Your girl is indeed very advance to be able to write in sentences so young. I have the same thoughts as you when I put my DDs in I Can Read. They are comprehensive in teaching the phonic rules. An added bonus is the naive speaker teacher which I find is important when coaching diction. The teacher will also teach them how to read a passage with different tonation. My DD can read aloud better than me now!

You may wish to highlight your concerns to the teacher and see if he/she can address them. Go for a teacher you’re comfortable with.

Yes books 1-6 take 1 year to complete.

genmai,


thanks alot.
I only need someone to help me out in the phonic rules and the exact way to read the word as i find it pretty difficult to guide her when sea and see sound the same to me. Cos I can guide her in the rest like comprehension, sentence writing etc. I will put her for one year to complete the course then. Shall talk to the teacher about my concern.

thanks for answering my question.

Dear Parents,


I intended to send my daughter to attend the I can read programme (prelimenary) at Kovan centre. She is very shy. Would any of the parents be able to recommend a teacher? Thank you.

my child used to study there. the service was good and she improved after a semester. however she is older now so she goes by private tutoring. worth your try.

Hi mummies and daddies, i would like to hear some comments. If my son is delayed in speech, would sending him to ICR programm helps? My DS3 will be turning 4 in jul this year. He is delayed in speech, i suspected that he is delayed in language too. Very worried for his k2 n p1. My ds1 is not delayed but he has problems coping with p1 as i did not send him for any enrichment classes, nor hv the time to coach him at that time. Since my ds3 is delayed, need a lot more effort to prepare him. Please advise. Thanks

IMO....i think you should nip the cause of the speech delay first. Once you resolve that, i am sure any established enrichment classes will be effective as long as the child is participative and parents are more involved with the kids.

Is it because he is shy? If so, then speech and drama class will be more effective in \"bringing him out\" and interact more. Once you have encourage him to speak, i am sure any language enrichment classes will be more effective thereafter.
