Reading Levels 1 to 6

Our Reading Programme is a 12-month course that focuses on developing confident and independent readers. The curriculum is based on our renowned I Can Read System, which teaches and reinforces one new sound each week. Students are taught to identify sounds via a series of I Can Read proprietary diacritical marks or clues.

Each class includes:

  • Reading fun and specially-written stories for children
  • Use of a screener tool to aid in the visual blending and reading process
  • Use of diacritical marks from our code card in practical application
  • Spelling tests on key vocabulary

Testimonials

“Matin used to be shy and could not articulate his ideas and opinions well in English. Thus, I decided to enrol him for I Can Read. Now, he can mingle and speak confidently with his friends. Matin’s Kindergarten teachers also saw a vast improvement in his ability to speak with confidence. Dania, like Matin had a hard time expressing herself in English and so it was only natural we enrolled her in I Can Read too. We were elated when she spoke in a full English sentence confidently. Dania not only enjoys attending her classes but also has a pool of vocabulary at her disposal. We are impressed.”
Mum of Dania and Matin
“We enrolled Megan in I Can Read after receiving many good reviews from our friends. She has made great improvements in phonemic awareness whilst in the ICR Pre-Reading Course, and will soon be completing her programme. Megan now enjoys reading storybooks and is able to read them fluently and loudly. ”
Parents of Megan
“My son joined I Can Read when he was three years old. Before joining, he did not feel comfortable communicating in English and was not interested in attending English classes.Under the wing of Teacher Bernadette, his English literacy skills improved tremendously, especially his communication skills.He has made wonderful friends and learned so much over one year. I am confident that any parent whose child attends I Can Read will have nothing but a positive and joyful experience.”
Mum of Han So
“Aaron and Baron started I Can Read when they were almost 3 years old. In the short few months that they have been with the centre, we can already see that they are motivated to pick up books to read and are becoming more communicative. Most importantly, they are enjoying the classes and the great interaction they have with the teacher. ”
