I’m so glad I saw the sponsored post on Read in a week! I have a P3 boy who struggled with his spelling. But after just 4 sessions with Tr Liza, he had improved tremendously! He can now spell!! We are so thrilled! Tr Liza is our life savior! And he’s really enjoying himself during lessons too!

I chance upon Read in a week through social media & get to know Teacher Sherlyn from Rivervale branch. It has been a blessing that my son was under her guidance for the past 1yr... Teacher Sherlyn took initiative to provide regular updates after every lesson. The experience was great as I saw huge progress & now my son can read and spell with confidence after a year & graduated. Teacher Sherlyn’s passion in teaching is remarkable & exceed my expectation.. Your efforts and passion in teaching are commendable. Thanks you so much for your dedications! 😊

The Read in a Week's programme helps to build my son's foundation in English, reading and spelling. Before we started class, he can't even read simple words like "We, me, he" despite us reading to him nightly for the past 6 years.
Now after attending Read in a Week since the start of the year, he has been scoring full marks for his K2 spelling few weeks in a row. I'm happy to have found Read in a Week.

Came across the holiday programme and decided to enroll my girl for it at the Rivervale branch. Under teacher Sherlyn’s guidance, I see great improvement and my girl now reads confidently. Teacher Sherlyn will update me after every lesson what was being covered in class. She’s patient and passionate in teaching the kids. Glad that I signed my girl up for the lesson. Thank you teacher Sherlyn.

I sent my daughter since Aug 2021. She was in K2 and was not able to read.
Ever since my daughter attended Teacher Joelle's online classes, she learnt to blend words and has improved a lot!
Teacher Joelle's classes are structured and fun. My daughter really enjoyed her classes!
Thank you Read in a Week! All the best!

My daughter, Arissa could read sight words and make phonetical sounds but had problem blending. I enrolled her in the Sept Hol Prog and she showed improvements.

To prepare my boy for primary 1, we decide to enrolled him to Read in a Week phonic class. Under the care of teacher Sherlyn for the past 8months, we can see great improvement and my boy start to develop interest in reading and he is trying his best to pick up words with more confident, where in the past, he will be afraid to even try. Often, he will also share to us, teacher is nice and he enjoy going to phonic class.
Here, I would like to thank Teacher Sherlyn for your constant encouragement, feedbacks, patient and efforts. You definitely did a excellent job here. 👏 😊

My daughter was not able to blend the word well before she joins Read in a Week. I was a bit concerned as she is going to Primary 1 in a year time. Decided to give it a try and enroll her in to Read in a Week.
I can see the improvement of my daughter, she can read story book by herself after 5 months with Teacher Sherlyn. And she can express herself with words she want to write by herself now. Highly recommend Teacher Sherlyn.

My child is in P2 and previously completed phonics reading class from another center. Reading not much issue, just that she is not using phonics to aid in her spelling and have to memorise by repetitive writing. Came across Read in a week and thought to give their holiday crash course a try especially to help in her spelling. After just a few lessons, can see her improvement in spelling. She's able to spell so much better now, don't need to use the repetitive writing method anymore. Thank you Teacher Liza!

Teacher Liza really helped my brother who has dyslexia with his phonics, making it easier for him to follow his school English lessons. My brother was preparing for PSLE but was lacking behind on his reading and spelling. Teacher Liza patiently taught him and he improved by a lot. Teacher Liza is also very engaging, having conversations with my brother about topics he like.

I got to know about Read in a Week through word of mouth. At that time my child was with another established phonics school and I was looking for a switch. I did my due diligence and read every review and profiles of the Teachers in the centre before I decided the switch. Till now, it has been 7 months since my child started, we have witnessed significant improvement in her pronunciation and phonics skill within the first 2 months, most importantly, her interests in reading and read in confidence. Isn’t that what we parents seeking for? I will not hesitate to recommend Read in a Week but prefer not to share the Teacher’s name 🤣 I hope to still have her slot as my child is going Primary 1 in next year. 😀 - just kidding.
A big shout out to Ms Liza!

My son was teaching by teacher Liza and he had improved a lot with his spelling skill. Now he don’t need spend so much time by learning or memorise his spelling at school every week. Cause he can spell the word out instead of memorise the word.

Read in a Week is highly recommended. My younger girl just graduated in Feb 2022 under the care of Tr Sherlyn and she began to pick up many reading skills and became interested in reading. We would always see her with a book when she wakes up in the morning and before she sleeps. She gained much confidence under Tr Sherlyn's guidance and could read books beyond her age after the course. Thank you Tr Sherlyn for your patience and care for your students.

Throw back in 2020, preparing my son for Primary One in 2021.
He was lacking of confidence as he cannnot read or spell.
Worst still covid hit hard in SG CB was introduce and my son have to continue studying via HBL.
It worries me as he only have less than 3 month before entering to Primary school.
Thus I decided to enrolled him to Read in A Week.
I shared my concerned about my son development and Kenneth, the manager, introduced me to Teacher Sherlyn.
She gave me her assurance, by year end, my son will know and developed interest to read.
She also advised me not to teach, introduced or make my son read at home.
Trust her that she can improve my son's reading.
I was abit sceptical but reluctantly listen to her advise.
True enough, with her guidance, with just 2 lessons, my son is able to read simple words. Within months he able to read books easily.
Teacher Sherlyn never fails to updates me about my son improvement. That is really a plus point.
I am so grateful to her. Never regretted sending my son to Read in a Week. Highly recommend..

The fee structure was exorbitant. I was informed nett payment $160 per mth but thereafter , gst was also incurred. had to pay more than the amount. And read in a week is misleading, it takes weeks to mths for child to know phonics before they can read. No issues about the teacher. The management cant make it.

My girl Evlyn started phonics program with Teacher Sherlyn in Aug this year. We were actually from another centre which also offered phonics program. We enrolled Evlyn in that centre beginning of this year when she just started her K1. She was there for 6 months and we realised that she made no progression hence we decided to change the centre and gave a try at Read In A Week Seng Kang branch. We are grateful to Kenneth recommendation of Teacher Sherlyn. Teacher Sherlyn is patient not only to children but to us as parents as well. She would made efforts to assure me and update me of Evlyn’s progress every week, she is responsible and takes great pride in her teachings for every one of her student. During Evlyn’s PTC with her school Teachers, her Teachers commended for her vast improvements on her reading, her enthusiasm on exploring new books and eager to read all by herself. We are so glad that we made a right choice and we trust Evlyn is in good hands of Teacher Sherlyn. Thank you to Read in a Week and KUDOS to Teacher Sherlyn!!

My boy is going primary 1 next year . He can read and spell
( maybe through rote memory ) and he likes to " guess " difficult
words instead of sounding it out.
The reason why I signed up for the class is to let him have a strong foundation in phonics which will be beneficial for him in the long run .
I am glad to have Teacher Liza . She has a way with kids
She is fun and firm at the same time . Thank you Teacher Liza 🙂

Glad I found Read in a Week. My child was really weak in phonics and just within 2 classes, he was able to remember all the phonics. He’s now able to blend and read simple words, which is a vast improvement when he just started. Teacher Joelle is very patient and encouraging which makes classes really enjoyable for my child. Would recommend Read in a Week for kids to pick up phonics and reading!

My son Harith have late development which one of the issue is Speech delay. I enrolled him in Read in a week programme when he was in K2 as he could not read and he is going to P1 following year. My son have behavioural problem where he will not want to learn if a teacher is strict and he will be scared. For the first 6 mths, he did not learn much as he kept crying and did not want to sit in the class. So i request to transfer to another teacher. And they recommed Teacher Sherlyn to trial test him. With Teacher Sherlyn, he is able to adapt very well. She is very patience and follow his pace of learning. Although he is slower than the rest of the kids, my son now able to read very very well. I'm very thankful with Teacher Sherlyn with her guidance to teach my son with phonics. He has no problem with reading a story book for his age group now with the phonics blending technique which he have learn. 🥰🥰🥰

I enrolled my girl last year with Teacher Sherlyn because we saw a drastic difference with her peers when we went overseas. I was recommended by a colleague whose kids were taught by her. I personally didn't want to find a teacher who is so result driven that they make the kids do lots of spelling test as I want my kid to enjoy the language. When I met Teacher Sherlyn, she put all my worries at ease. I see tremendous improvement in her pronunciation, she is able to read on her own now. She uses her phonics skills to help her spelling, I barely have to revise with her. She is able to do her work with minimal supervision as she can read and understand the questions. Most importantly it is stress free for both the kid and myself and she loves going to class and the language itself. Definitely recommend this course to parents as this course is so flexible it caters to the level your kid is comfortable with yet challenges them. She even corrects our pronunciation nowadays.

We are grateful to have Tr Liza. Right now my girl is in P2. She with Tr Liza since P1. Last time we are worried as my daughter was still not able to read when she entering P1. She went for many phonics learning center before that, but still cannot read after 1-2years, it’s really money and time wasted.
We are lost, until we found Tr Liza from one of our friend, finally we enrolled my daughter to this program named “read in a week”.
We are still remember, the first day we met Tr Liza at Kovan for the assessment. My daughter can read the words directly in front of us with tr Liza’s guidance , it’s miracle! I also don’t know how’s it works, but what I can said is, Tr Liza is really good in communicate with the children. We called it “Magic!”
Within a short period of time, my daughter
Improved a lot, now she can read independently on her own with a thick story book.
We always feel thankful to Tr Liza, she really patience in teaching and we always recommend her to our friends.
Get it a try! Trust me, every child can read! Just the method of teaching and communicate! I will recommend “Read in a week” to all of you, give them a try, miracle will happens! 😉

My boy started the programme during circuit breaker. Within a 2 months period, I saw tremendous improvement in him: from one who can’t identify sounds well to one who can read, blend and even tried to spell word on his own. I am very impressed by the changes brought to him from the programme. He is now also more confident to do reading on his own. Strongly recommend the course to kids who want to read and prepare for pri school. Thanks Liz and teacher Evan who have been very patience and helpful throughout.

Aariz has not been recognising words or reading well back in his kindergarten school days. Feedback given by his teachers was normal, he will progress soon with time. The real challenges really hit us as a parent when he goes to Primary 1, unable to read and understand the tasks which was given to him. This really hit on us as his parents. I saw Reading in a week advertisement in FB and enquire more on the packages. The reply that we get was fast, thus we decided to engage reading class for Aariz.
Teacher Liza has been with us since day 1 of the lesson. With years of experience that she has and likeable personality, we notice that his reading has improved tremendously. He is able to read more words independantly with little help needed. He enjoys all his lessons with teacher Liza a lot. We are so happy with the result. Thank you teacher Liza for being his teacher and he is fortunate to get you as his teacher.

I’m so grateful to ms Liza for recommending KRTC Sengkang near my neighbourhood. I have first heard of ms Liza from another parent who sent me a video of her son reading whole paragraphs excellently when he couldn’t read a single word weeks ago! I can hardly believe it 😱
My daughter absolutely loved her 1st session yesterday - she came out super confident and happy and immediately boasted ability to read new words and blending the phonics (she couldn’t read at all before). I was literally in tears with hope before she started the class as after ms Carol’s assessment, I could see she’s in good hands - such an excellent teacher and breadth and length of experience. My daughter has GDD and potentially dyslexia and has at least 3 therapists for her special needs 2x a week. Whilst she is a happy girl, she is sensitive and can feel rather lousy at school since she is P2 and can’t read.. or when she couldn’t accomplish tasks at therapy.
Mr Kenneth was also very engaging and helped me get some good package deal. We already spent a lot in therapy and her other needs so prior to yesterday, I was concerned about budget. Within the first session, it is already absolutely worth every penny! Thank you KRTC teachers! 💕💕💕

Many thanks again and again to Teacher Liza 🌷🌷🌷🌷 guided my kid -May shuen (age 4+ started with 0% reading English word but only alphabets ) in the basic phonics class.
She only attended 6 lessons of phonics class with teacher Liza. And now she can pronounce quite well.
See the results where her kindergarten teacher marked the ticks in her story book ( before that she just “memorize by rote" even thought phonics class was provided in the school and
after one month " she able to pronounce by herself" )
