  • Our approach

    The I Can Read System teaches children to blend letters (graphemes) with their corresponding sounds (phonemes), empowering them to understand and control their own reading progress. The programme is structured, cumulative and hierarchical, built on over 25 years of research into how children acquire reading skills. Sessions are delivered by qualified teachers who specialise in literacy, making learning enjoyable in smaller class environments. The system covers all aspects of literacy—not just reading but also writing, speech and drama—so children develop comprehensive skills for fluent communication. This proven approach has successfully taught thousands of children to read worldwide.

  • Your first visit

    A free assessment is offered to identify your child's current reading level and abilities. The diagnostic assessment protocols used have been developed by registered Australian educational psychologists and are designed to identify both strengths and weaknesses in your child's skills. These assessment results inform recommendations tailored to your child's needs. You can book this free assessment online or by contacting the centre directly. This initial step helps determine which programme level is the right starting point for your child's literacy journey.
