Hi,
I send my 2 children to this programme http://www.icreativelearner.com/ (the Rivervale Crest location), similar to I Can Read. The programme has been benefical to them. Most important of all, the teacher is delicated, hardworking and responsible. |

Hi E & K Mummy,
It is a home-based programme whereby the max. no. of children is 6. Parents will go through an orientation programme (abt 1 hr or so)whereby the course details and expectations are outlined and explained. Timing and day of this orientation depends on the individual teacher and intake. Have to liase with her directly.
Both my boys went through this intensive phonics and reading programme. They usually take in children at 3+, able to recognise fr. A-Z. At K2 level, they introduce things like comprehensive skills, basic grammar, spelling, dictation etc. Basically to prepare kids for P1. My elder one is completing the pre-sch programme soon, and the younger one is going on to the K2 level next year. When my no. 3 comes to age, I will send him to the same teacher too.
I chose the Rivervale Crest location. The teacher conducts her lessons at her home there. There is another teacher under the same programme in Seng Kang area too. Do go to the website to find out more and speak to the teacher you have short listed. Hope this helps. |

Hi,
Currently, I am paying $170 for every block of 8 lessons, once a week for 1hr 30min. There is a one time registration and material fee, which I can't remember how much. |

Hi CYL,
Are you required to get any books for your kids during the course? |

hi snoopwen,
My son is also in Icreativelearner. You no need to get any books for the kids. The material fees covers all the materials for the 2 and 3/4 years. And they will also borrow one story book back every week.
One thing to note, they only take 1 intake a year for the 3+, which starts in march. And there is usually a long waiting list for popular teachers. Eg. My younger daughter is already registered for the 2009 class. She was given the last slot for a particular teacher. However, they have "crash" programmes if you start your kid in K1 or K2. |

Hi,
The choice of centre or location really depends. Some parents opt for the more 'popular' teachers, and are willing to travel, or to be put on waiting list. Some just choose the teacher with the convenient location and timing. Guess most important of all is that you got to short list the preferred location and give the teacher a call directly (nos. listed in the website) to check out the intake and timings. At the same time, talk to the teacher more abt the programme. Can't comment on LW speech and drama though, no experience.  |

hi snoopwen,
I stay in the east, so i go to the one in simei (the only one that had space that time). She no longer takes in new preschoolers. She now focus on pri school. So my daughter has to go to another teacher in 2009.
I am not sure about LW speech and drama. But my son is in a Speech and Drama program this year. The emphasis and focus of icreativelearner and speech and drama is different. icreativelearner emphasis is on reading, later writing. Speech and drama focuses on expression, speaking etc. I feel both programs complements. |

Hi E & K Mummy,
When teacher Eva was first recommended to me, I was told that she is a strict teacher. I did not mind and went ahead to sign up with her. My thinking is that I'll rather have a strict one that teaches and able to handle kids, than one who is too nice and lenient.
For the 3+ years that we are with her, teacher Eva is very motivated and responsible. She is willing to go to the extra mile to teach. Though strict she is, teacher Eva is caring and shows concern for her pupils. She is always motivating and encouraging her pupils to learn. It's a pity though she does not each primary school children. |

Snoopwen,
I wanted to register my daughter for weekend class for 2009, but she was full. She is suppose to be quite popular.
E&K,
190 for 8 lessons is weekend class? I think weekday class is around 175 only |

Hi,
Sorry couldn't reply, just got back from overseas. The $170 for 8 lessons for mine is on week days. I think week ends rates are different. Shouldn't need any extra phonics lessons already. Eva's no is 81283503. Thanks. |

Hi,
I heard good reviews of icreativelearner and would like to register her for next year's class. I contacted the principal and however, most of the the slots are fully taken.
Does anybody has the teacher's contacts to share with me? I hope to check with them whether they can squeeze me in.
I am also thinking of asking them to open up classes in the North or Northeast areas. Anybody keen? If we have 6, I can try to talk to the principal.
Pls PM or email me at maltbibi@yahoo.com.sg
Thanks. |
