I need help!


My DS3 was diagnosed with delayed speech and he is attending speech therapy lessons every week.

I wanted to start teaching him how to read, therefore, i am using Peter and Jane 1a.

But i realised that he has problem recognising words. He could not recognise the word "Peter" even after 2 days (4 sessions with him).

How should i help him? Is this a problem in the 1st place?

Will ICR help him?

Thanks

hi SAHM Chew


my DS1 attended ICR (tampines) for about 1yr9mths where he started off with ICR Preliminary at start of K1 & just completed ICR course.

i would say ICR really helps in reading…which is important for P1 (all the english/maths problem sums require them to at least able to read the instructions and questions…before they are able to answer the qns…)

the Prelim course start with basic phonics and those sounds/consonants etc…in ICR, they will hv spellings on every lessons…the last part was reading…

now he is able to read (n try to figure out the pronounciation himself)…

it will be gd if you send him to enrichment course…coz as a parent myself…i’m not trained with phonics etc…so also dont know how to teach him read…hehe

will send my DS2 to ICR for P1 prep in 2014…hehe

hope this helps you?

Hi SAHM Chew


You may want to call up ICR to ask them if their teachers are trained to handle children with delayed speeches, and also if the method is appropriate.

Your child will be placed with a class of children. She/he may not benefit as much if special attention is not given.

My son is lacking beginning sounds n ending sounds in some of his words. The speech therapist is working on this area. Not sure is that part of phonics too. Thats y i am not sure will ICR benefits him since they are using phonics too.

my boy had speech therapy when he was two. for tis articulation u mus address by speech therapy cos its got to do wf tongue movemt n sensory issues. to me phonics is more of a hearing issue, not pronunciation
