Hi! Lovinglife,

After the ICR level, they will attend a creative writing class, to prepare them for P1.
Currently my DS is attending ICR level1, to complete the whole ICR take about a year.

Hi Ymy,

Do you mean ICR level 1 consist of 6 books (24 weeks) + another 6 months of creative writing class = 1 year course?

Hi! Lovinglife,


ICR (6 levels) take one year to complete. Thereafter, they can progress to the creative writing class.

Hi Ymy,

I do not know which level my DS is in. He is currently finishing book 2 and will start book 3 in Nov. Will you progress your DS to creative writing class after completing the course?

Hi monster mummy,

My DS will be completing the programme when he turns 5 1/2 yo. So other than creative writing course, he has another option to join PEP if continue to stick with ICR?

[Monster Mummy]

The only option is creative writing class. If not you can let him wait till P1 to go into PEP. After ICR programme, you got a choice to let him continue the writing class or withdraw him from center and look around programme to prepare him for P1.

Hi! By the time my son complete ICR, which is next year Sep. he will be in K2. Most likely I will let him continue with the creative writing class. Unless I can find other alternative .

Hi Ymy,

I am actually thinking to switch to LCentral prepare for primary programme (don't know what is the exact programme name) while waiting for P1 enrolment. I have 6 more months to source around

Hi Monster Mummy, my son has benefited from ICR. He can read pretty well and do spelling with ease. Now he (K2) is in creative writing. My objectives to put him in ICR is to learn phonics & read. So all met. And when he goes to P1, I am thinking of stopping ICR, let him learn his English in school. What does PEP work on? Is this for students who are weak in English? What PEP do that Pri school don't? I am not sure if I should let him continue with PEP. Please advice or enlighten me.
