Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Champion Readers programme?
Champion Readers is I Can Read’s reading programme designed to help children become confident, independent readers. Through a structured approach, children develop decoding, reading fluency, comprehension, grammar and communication skills while building the confidence to read with understanding and express themselves with purpose and meaning.
How is Champion Readers structured?

Champion Readers is I Can Read’s reading programme and a one-year journey comprising six progressive levels that guide children from learning to decode words confidently to becoming independent readers.

In Champion Readers 1 to 3, children learn to read using I Can Read’s unique diacritical marking system, helping them decode unfamiliar words while building vocabulary and spelling skills through an understanding of letter-sound relationships.

In Champion Readers 4 to 6, the diacritical markings are gradually removed as children transition to independent reading. They strengthen their reading fluency, comprehension, grammar and writing skills, becoming confident readers who can understand and communicate with purpose and meaning.

Who is Champion Readers for?
Champion Readers is suitable for children who are ready to develop their reading, comprehension and communication skills. Placement is based on each child’s literacy ability rather than age, with an English Assessment used to determine the most appropriate programme and starting level.
What comes after Champion Readers?
Children can continue to Headstart to Primary 1 to prepare for Primary School English, and then Primary English (P1–P6 enrichment), keeping a continuous pathway through primary school.
Is there a free assessment?
Yes. Book a free English assessment at any I Can Read centre in Singapore, and we will recommend the right level for your child.

What Parents Say About I Can Read

Real stories, real progress

"My husband and I decided to enrol Cayden to ICR Academy when he was in K2 to prepare him for Primary school. Since he joined ICR Academy, he started to become confident when it comes to reading. He has become more vocal and wiling to participate in class. Cayden has been with ICR Academy for almost 3 years and he is still enjoying his lessons."

“As Thomas comes from a Chinese speaking family, we were struggling to find a suitable training program for him. In K2, we transferred Thomas to I Can Read when we found that it had a more vivid and suitable curriculum. After sometime, we could see Thomas making great progress in reading English stories. We appreciate the help I Can Read rendered to teaching Thomas basic phonology, spelling and comprehension.”
Parent of Liu Motong

"Nicole has improved tremendously in both comprehension and composition in P3. Especially in composition writing, she would always boast to us that she is able to write with more words and pages by applying what Teacher Nazlin had taught her in class. She is always proud of being able to write more. We also noticed that she has been using more vocabulary in composition and writes with improved subject-verb agreement in passages."
Parent of Nicole Soh

"I Can Read is our choice for reading cum English enrichment. The well-curated modules have been proven to be effective to my child’s learning progress. He is able to grasp blending and thus reading in just a few months. Progressing further onto ICR Academy has aided my child’s holistic language enrichment, maturity and confidence to communicate better among his peers and adults."
