LCentral Discussion
-
My gal who is in K2 joined their liftoff program at the then Kovan now Serangoon branch at the beginning of this year. The assessor thought launchpad might be too easy n suggested liftoff even though she has no phonics background except watching dvd. ICR assessed her and she couldnt make it to the ICR program n they suggested prelims. Really thankful for that as it saved us some money and she is able to complete the 9 months course while in K2. She is doing well now and definitely more confident and is able to read independently except more difficult words. She also enjoyed reading to my 3yo boy. Just to share my experience and will start my boy earlier than his sister.

H dongle, is your gal doing pfs after liftoff? How do u find the pfs?

Similar things happen to my boy, ICR accessed him & suggested Prelims, Lcentral actually suggested Launch pad, due to timing & location, we choose Lcentral.
When my boy went for his first lesson at launch pad, teacher felt that his standard should be at lift off level instead of launch pad, she took the effort to re-access him after his lesson (initially access was done at another branch) & upgrade him to liftoff.
He will complete his liftoff by early next year and he is progressing well, i am so glad & thankful that we don’t have to waste the time & money to go thru launch pad which is ~ 3 - 9 mths duration & we really can see his tremendous improvement after his liftoff lesson, he can read confidently & independently. -

Hi, did you continue to doinf Preparation for Success / Success ? Any feedback on that please? Thanks in advance. -
Hi, I am still contemplating whether my boy should continue with the Success program. He is with Lcentral since Foundation, launchpad and completed Liftoff.
The reason why I hesitated about continuing in success program is because when I look through their workbook, it seems that they do not cover topic by topic. For example, i thought they will be teaching grammar. In grammar, there will be topics like nouns, verbs, adjectives, punctuation, etc. There is no workbook on each topic itself. The workbook is such that there is composition, comprehension, spelling list, etc.
Is this the right way to teach for Primary one? If do not continue with the Success program, is there another good school to build up good foundation of English language for Primary school kids?
Any parents can kindly advise?
Many thanks! -

My boy finished Liftoff in June this year. There was an option to continue to \"Preparation for Success\" immediately. But when I flipped through the workbook, I thought the same as you. Hence I bought a grammar workbook from Popular to teach him basic grammar myself. Aim is to coach him to write proper sentences before continuing to \"Preparation for Success\". He is attending \"Preparation for Success\" next Jan..... hope it is as good as \"Liftoff\", as I really love their Liftoff programme.Hi, I am still contemplating whether my boy should continue with the Success program.

Hi Enoid,
My girl just completed Liftoff in Oct. We will be starting her success class next year as we are going for holiday in Nov to Dec. -
mind to share what is the course fee for lcentral?
-
Around $500 plus for 11 classes for weekends. 1.5 hours per class.
Weekday a bit cheaper.
