Curriculum Overview
Developed by educational psychologists, the I Can Read curriculum is student-centred, outcome-driven and taught by qualified ICR teachers. Our classes–in-class and web classes–are fun and focused, giving students the literacy skills they need to progress in their education.
Our two structured programmes targeting children from 2.5 to 8 years old namely, Pre-Reading (Levels 1-3) and Reading (Levels 1-6) uses a holistic methodology to bring about reading proficiency in your child’s learning. Each child is engaged through a systematic and meaningful method to meet the relevant level’s learning objectives before advancing to the next. What’s more, students can independently practise their literacy skills with I Can Read’s digital learning tools at home, anytime!

Reading Levels 1 to 6
Our Reading Programme is a 12-month course that focuses on developing confident and independent readers.

Each class includes:

- 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
