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.
