Our integrated phonics approach teaches your child to form word sounds by blending phonemes (i.e. the smallest unit of sound) and graphemes (i.e. a way of writing phonemes). As your child learns to better understand the text he/she reads and writes, he/she will become better able to express thoughts, ideas and emotions when communicating with others.
One of the key highlights of MindChamps Reading is our Read-Along mobile app, which features a comprehensive collection of e-books and interactive activities.
Written by Brian Caswell, Dean of Research & Programme Development at MindChamps, each story in the e-book collection comes with a catchy song, an interactive reading and listening experience and a set of activities that help to strengthen your child’s phonological and phonemic awareness.

Apart from being used by our trainers for in-class lessons, the Read-Along app is also available for you to download on your mobile phone to help your child revise and practise his/her reading skills at home.
The Read-Along app is available for download on both Google Play and the App Store. Your child’s trainer will provide you with the sign-in details at the start of the programme.
Based on the results of the literacy assessment your child takes prior to enrolment, he/she will start our reading programme at the level that best matches his/her current needs.
If your child is just entering N1, he/she will automatically qualify for entry into the Natural Literacy programme. If your child is in N2, K1 or K2, he/she will need to take a literacy assessment prior to enrolment. This assessment will match your child to the level of our reading programme for which he/she is most suited.
Level | Child Level |

MindChamps Reading Levels 1-4 (Joey) | N2 |
MindChamps Reading Levels 5-8 (Panda) | K1 |

Throughout the programme, your child will be given weekly home tasks to reinforce the lessons learnt in class. You will be able to track your child’s progress through the feedback left by your child’s teacher.
There will also be parent workshops conducted every term to help you learn the best strategies to support your child’s reading journey at home.
