LEARNING TO READ and other SUCCESS STORIES

"We would like to say a HUGE thank you to I CAN READ MONA VALE! We sent our daughter, Mackenzie, to I CAN READ when she was having a lot of trouble with her reading skills which was impacting on her self-esteem and confidence at school. It was incredible the change that just a few months at I CAN READ had with Mackenzie's self-confidence and skills. Mackenzie is now well above the level required for her age and is truly enjoying both reading and her lessons at I CAN READ. Mackenzie's school teacher has also commented on her new ability and attitude. I highly recommend this programme. Thanks again." Brad and Julie George “We have found ICR’s programmes to be very effective in providing all-round English care for our twochildren.

Since attending, they have both improved in their lessons in school. The children thoroughly enjoy the classes and look forward to each week’s class.” H.S. Wong

"Craig has been attending ICR for 9 months now. In the beginning, he barely knew the sounds of the alphabet. Within a term, he was promoted to the ‘I Can Read’ programme. Under Teacher Mark, he made tremendous progress in his ability to read. Most importantly, his confidence and self-esteem improved greatly. What I like about this programme is that Teacher Mark encourages Craig to perform his best without giving him pressure, which explains why Craig looks forward to his class every week.” Linda Ong

"Our son, Aaron, has been attending I CAN READ since the beginning of the year and in that time Aaron has progressed from reading at Level 5 to an amazing Level 19. Our son had trouble reading the basics and comprehending what he read. With the I CAN READ system, he has gained confidence in his ability to read and really enjoys it, when previously he would get frustrated and not be interested. The classes are fun for my son and he really looks forward to seeing his teacher every Thursday." Jane Greaves

“Enoch has improved in his reading since attending the programme. His attitude towards reading and writing has also shown a turn for the better. His confidence in spelling and reading has increased!” Mr & Mrs Teo Tee Loon

“I always knew our son Toby (5) was interested in reading. When I heard about the I Can Read® system, I immediately knew I wanted him to be a part of it. Since starting the programme he comes home from lessons talking about digraphs and vowels and reading me stories at night! A whole new imaginative world has opened up for him. It is so wonderful to see a boy reading on his own for pleasure!” Anne Graham. “The system is fantastic, it gives children an opportunity to develop skills they need for school, such as comprehension, language and listening skills.” Margaret Little, Director of Jack and Jill Preschool.

“To be given the opportunity to learn to read before entering school, is really such a huge advantage for these children.”

"Before starting I Can Read, my daughter hated to read. It was such a struggle to get her to read her school readers. Since starting I Can Read 2 months ago, she now reads me stories every night, she has moved up 4 levels in her reading group at school and her confidence has improved also." Jill Wilson. "She is able to read well and confidently with very good pronunciation and has moved on to reading non-fiction text after attending the programme." Amanda Tan

"Wesley looks forward to attending the class every weekend. He likes the teacher very much. The teacher is friendly and is able to communicate well with my child." Mrs. Goh

"After attending class at I Can Read Learning Centre, Sable’s ability to comprehend reading passages improved dramatically.Her improvement in the ability to articulate, both written and spoken, was also apparent.

As a result of her phenomenal improvement, I decided to enrol her into the next level, the Advanced Writing & Exam Skills Programme. Under the close supervision of the well-qualified and competent ICR teachers, her writing skills took another big leap ahead. Her school academic results were excellent, where she achieved top marks in her Primary 1 school exam paper. Will I recommend I Can Read to my friends? Without hesitation, a definite YES! I can’t be more grateful to I Can Read and all the teachers who are always so encouraging and warm. Without them, learning wouldn’t be as fun and prolific." Irene Teo
