Before committing
I Can Read Singapore
Reading programmes with an assessment route.
Confirm assessment, course stage, centre, schedule and total fees.
LCentral
Early-literacy routes including LaunchPad for N2-K2.
Check the child’s age and actual starting stage rather than relying on the programme name.
Choose by the purchase you need
Compare the child’s current reading needs and the assessment process, rather than choosing by an age label alone. LCentral publishes a preschool-stage LaunchPad route; I Can Read provides a reading-assessment route. Ask what the child will practise and how the provider decides when to move to the next stage.
