Just went to LC @ TB for assessment, and the teacher advised my 6yos son to start LaunchPad Ignition programme. I looked thru the workbook and think it is likely too easy for my son cos he read rather well. The teacher insisted that he will progress to liftoff after one term cos my son needed some emphasis on phonics. Should I just go with the recommendation or ask him to start at liftoff instead?

Hi Sopdav79!

Lcentral doesnt accept parent’s request/appeal to start at whatever stage the parents thk their kids can be, they only rely on their own assessment.
You may wish to bring your son to another Lcentral branch for a 2nd assessment, he may fare differently. If he can be assessed to LiftOff level at the 2nd centre, you can ask the 2nd centre to fax the results to 1st one (if you want to enroll there).

Is like going to a doctor and dun believe in what the doctor tell you. I believe your child just need the ignition programme to practise some parts that he's weak in. Cause liftoff is very intensive 9 mths course which makes the child a independent reader at the end of it. But they must have the required skills before promoting to Liftoff.

Fully agree. There is a K1 boy in liftoff program who knows all the individual phonics sound to decode words. But after putting together 5 sounds, he still can't make out what the 3-syllabus word was supposed to be. And then again, if the boy can read well already, he most probably would not need the enrichment program.
