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.

You can try Teacher Shirley (New Zealand), a very nice n patient lady.

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.

Hi, perhaps you should send him to a child psychiatrist for an assessment to find out if he really has a speech problem. From there, they will be able to guide you along, and recommend the necessary steps.

KKH has this service, I believe. One of my kids was very slow in learning, so I sent him to see the psychiatrist. Turned out that he hasn't any problem, but just need a foundation in phonics to be able to read well. Given your son's young age, I believe if you pick up any problem early and step in quickly, there wouldn't be any worries later on.

All the best.

Hi,

There should not be much worry. You can try to bring him to the ICR and see how he fair. For my boy, he is also delay speech till around 4 years and currently he talk too much. Else he can go to try out on any reading programme in other centre. Because I try the boy first on the enrichment programme in the other centre and slowly he pick up bit and pieces. For the phonics, it would be mostly be advisable for 4 years onwards as their vocabulary would be slowly built up. This is my thought and my experience for my boy.
