ICR = I Can Read

Hi Ah Heng,
My son is in K2 now and attend ICR in Jan 08. We have to revise with him the passages and spelling. We have tough time in the beginning because trying to teach my son in blending. But gradually he improves. He is still unable to read smoothly, however, I am contented already because he is a slow learner and can pronunce better now.
But attending ICR also depends on the teacher. The one I had for ICR Iinitially was not good and I requested a transfer and restarted him with a new session. Now the one I had is pretty good and I can see the patience in her. So, It depends on the teacher you have.
If you intend to register your child in Kovan, pls do not get the Chinese (though ICR admin told me is a Eurasian). She doesnt have the passion in teaching. Imagine my son only attended 3rd lesson and was told to withdraw from the class because as she mentioned she already has a few weak students, she cant afford to have him. My thought was if he is that good, I dont have to pay for him to attend ICR.
Fortunately, before I knew about it I have requested for a transfer. So, I managed to get a good teacher through words of mouth.
In summary, I like ICR teaching methodology. But teachers very important! -
Hi conniepng,
Care to share which teacher is good at ICR Kovan? Cos intend to sign up my son there.
TIA! -
teacher Lynn (not sure whether got the right spelling) is good. But not sure whether she teaches PRP.
