Phonic Class Singapore
Phonics is a foundational method of teaching reading and writing by linking sounds (phonemes) to letters or groups of letters (graphemes). It equips young learners with the ability to decode words, pronounce them correctly, and build a strong vocabulary.
At KRTC, we believe that phonics is more than just learning letters and sounds—it’s about fostering a love for reading and developing the essential literacy skills children need to thrive academically and beyond. Our phonics programme is carefully designed to make learning engaging, interactive, and highly effective for young learners.
Read In a Week Phonics Programme
The programme introduces students to learn intonation, rhythm, pronunciation and articulation. Students will gain the basic skills to read and write. By the end of the programme, students will gain the advanced phonics skills while continue to develop their oral fluency, listening and comprehension skillsets.
Suitable for 4 to 12 years old students.

The phonics programme at KRTC has been a game-changer for my daughter. In just a few months, he progressed from struggling with basic sounds to confidently reading short sentences.

My two girls (5 and 6 years old), Celestyn and Janlynn’s reading had improved by leaps and bounds. They could read anything from newspapers and books. Thank you once again for teaching them patiently!

The curriculum is comprehensive, and I want to appreciate Ms Juliana, she is very nurturing. She is always ensuring Sanya and other children are attentive and engaged during class time. My child has developed a love for reading, which I never thought was possible!
– Mr Singh
Yu Xuan was shy and reluctant to read aloud before joining this programme. Now, he eagerly practices his phonics skills at home and loves showing off what he’s learned. We’re so grateful for the dedicated tutors at KRTC!
– Mrs Lee
I have mild dyslexia and used to have difficulty in writing a,b,c when I was younger. When I was supposed to be reading in P1, I got so frustrated because I could not do it. Then came “Read In A Week” phonics and I received help. The programme helped me sound out the word a letter at a time from the left to the right and I overcame my dyslexic condition. My English examination marks jumped from band 3 to band 1.
– Tan Hui Ying
Michelle, my daughter could read the “Little Golden Book” series all by herself before she turned 5 years old. The “Read In A Week” programme had helped her tremendously. By age 7, she was able to read a P6 text book. She was then in P1. She had since then become an independent reader of the World Book Encyclopedia, newspapers and magazines.
