Hi,


I’ve a K1 going next year. She is currently doing a phonics program with J&E. I like the program but I feel that phonics alone is insufficient. So I was looking around for an additional english program so that she can be a all rounder by P1.

I looked at BC (as my P1 and P2 are there), I felt that what they are doing for K1 might duplicate the phonics program alot. So decided against it as I wanted something in addition and not just phonics. I called MA but I wasn’t too impressed. I went to Lorna Whiston and liked what I saw and the course composition is 20% phonics and emphasize on other areas like reading, writing, etc… so in the end, I decided to go for LW.

Hi, Can i know why you want to change school. I am also considering ICR and BC. Thinking of ICR cos it is more convenient for me. Any comments appreciated. Thanks.

HI THANKS FOR REPLY.
It is really difficult to decide. For BC, have to commit for a year, so have to think really carefully...

Hi All,


Are we all talking about P1 English enrichment program?

[adafew]

my few sense worth on ICR.


Personally I am not impressed by ICR. First is the reception counter attitude. They are simply not professional and not enthusiastic in guiding enquires.
2nd, I feel the course is not accustom to MOE.

3rd , they ‘forced’ the parents to read to kids. I personally do not want to pay to read to my kids.
