Our program is truly interactive and fun! Your child will be actively involved in the learning process. It uses a story-based approach, where the story logic engages students leading to long term retention of concepts.

Our program is wonderfully multisensory. It activates every learning channel through music, actions, alliteration, movement, song, art, games and role-play.

There are six key components of reading–and this program teaches all of them thoroughly. These six components are:
