What does the Reading programme in English offer?
An interactive programme developing Reading in English through Six progressive language levels, with audio and visual explanations, practice and regular assessment.
How does your child learn in the programme?
They see a clear model, hear explanations and pronunciation, practise during the lesson, then complete assessment and reinforcement.
How do I choose the right level?
A beginner starts at language level 1. Children with prior knowledge choose based on their actual performance in English.
Every language level has a clear path.
If your child has never studied English, they start at language level 1 regardless of school year. If they have prior knowledge, choose based on actual mastery and try the matching free lesson.
