I Can Read creators are also the authors of “Dealing with Dyslexia and Reading Difficulties” published by Pearson Education.

I Can Read is certified by Education Alliance Finland for its pedagogically sound and high standards of curriculum and methodology, while adhering to learning science principles to promote and support learning.
The I Can Read reading programme teaches students to combine letters and create invariant sounds, empowering them to take control of their progress. The I Can Read reading programme helps new readers overcome initial struggles such as combining letters into blended sounds. Knowing how to pronounce words is key to overcoming this. Our students start with simple, straightforward words and then progress to more difficult phoneme combinations, building upon their successes word by word.
ICR Academy’s Primary Curriculum is designed for students to build a strong foundation in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Through clear instruction, guided practice, independent application, and continuous evaluation, students focus on all 4 essential skills. The exercises and activities stimulate their creativity while preparing them for exams. These techniques and exercises will prove essential when they undertake the PSLE.

We have decided to withdraw our child from "I Can Read." He attended only one lesson at the age of 2, during which he cried the entire time. Parents were... Read more 2, during which he cried the entire time. Parents were not allowed to stay, which we understand. However, the teacher, with her Filipino accent, asked if he had attended any classes to develop his motor skills and pencil grip. My position is that a 2-year-old should not be expected to be well-trained before starting "I Can Read." If such a requirement exists, it should have been communicated before enrollment. The experience left my child traumatized, and he refuses to attend further. We have paid $406 (covering the first 3 lessons, including a $200 deposit), but we cannot recover the deposit unless we pay for the next semester to meet the minimum requirement of 4 lessons. Given these issues, I would not recommend "I Can Read" to others.
