You can get your child to read early

Most parents in Singapore want to help their little ones build language skills but don’t know how.

We created this reading programme to teach you exactly how to do just that and more by giving you the tips and tools, like word cards, that you need to help your baby learn better and faster with joy.

Learning to read early not only begins a life-long love of reading but makes the brain more connected and neurologically capable of many things.

We want you to feel confident about the role you play in your child’s brain development, and you can do that by using our programme.

How the Reading Programme Supports Emergent Literacy

Designed based on the renowned Glenn Doman Method, our Reading Programme for emergent literacy comprises words-only flash cards with large print. The simple, words-only design ensures the baby isn’t sidetracked by images when you teach them to read. It also enables parents in Singapore to flash the cards swiftly, keeping each lesson short. In doing so, the programme fosters a positive experience even for tots with limited patience, enhancing the effectiveness of learning and enabling your baby to quickly acquire literacy skills in the early years.

Can Babies Really Learn to Read?

Babies are linguistic geniuses. They absorb language from birth onward effortlessly. The baby quickly starts to understand words. We can present those words auditorily, as parents in Singapore normally do, but also visually, through tools like word cards in the Doman Babies’ early childhood development programmes. Choosing the right method is crucial as babies will absorb their first words and comprehend them better if we present them in a way that is appropriate for brain growth and development.

Why Reading and Physical Programmes Go together?

There are six forms of human intelligence – Visual, Auditory, Tactile, Mobility, Language and Manual. They are separate, distinct and different from each other. They are, however, completely interrelated and, to a high degree, dependent upon each other in brain growth and development.

It is not possible to raise a child’s ability to move without, to some degree, raising the ability to see as well as improving auditory, tactile, language and manual functions. Our Reading Programme stimulates visual and auditory intelligence. The Physical Programme accompanying it will only enhance the progress of the Reading Programme through engaging the mind in whole-brain training.

That is why the Reading and Physical Programmes should and must go hand in hand.
