Centre-based lessons for our MindChamps Reading Programme<\/strong> have resumed since 26 June 2020.<\/p>\n

We have implemented a full range of safe reopening measures to protect the health of your child while he\/she is attending classes at our centres.<\/p>\n

We are also monitoring the situation closely and will respond decisively should circumstances call for alternative learning arrangements.<\/p>\n

Raising an Avid Reader and Confident Learner<\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/header>
<\/div>

Reading is an essential skill for smooth communication, effective learning and everyday situations.<\/p>\n

While we tend to focus on teaching children how to read in their early years, it\u2019s equally important to ensure that they can read with understanding.<\/strong> This means helping your child not only sound out words, but also comprehend the meaning of words or sentences and relating them to his\/her own life.<\/p>\n

MindChamps Reading was designed with precisely this goal in mind.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Instead of traditional rote learning, our reading programme focuses on developing your child\u2019s 3 Minds (the Champion, Learning and Creative minds) to make him\/her a more effective learner. This includes:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
