Learn to read, love to read

What Parents Say

"Thank you very much for the past 4 months that you have taught Anja. We have seen a marked improvement in her reading, comprehension, and sentence construction. She has thoroughly enjoyed her classes with you and making friends."
- Mommy Carmela
The Reading Advantage has helped my 5-year old become more interested in reading and go beyond sight words. She's able to retain her lessons like consonant blends, bossy R, magic E and vowel teams. It has been easier for her to read words with these tricky letter combinations thanks to their 2x a week classes that she always looks forward to attending!
- Mommy Lyxen
“Yesterday, I heard my daughter utter words I never thought I would hear — “I love reading class! It’s so fun!” So grateful for Teacher Ana and the wonderful Learning Library team for not only developing her reading skills, but for sparking the love for reading. “
- Ms Margaux Atayde
“So proud of my little girl. She read all SIGHT WORDS LIST A-E ALL PERFECTLY! THE READING ADVANTAGE 👍🏻 Indeed worth every penny investment!”
- Ms Kim Bandola

Frequently Asked Questions

How much are your fees?

The monthly enrollment includes 2 teacher-sessions per week (with a maximum of 4 kids per class), online reading resources, and supplemental learning kits delivered monthly. The program fee is Php 2500 per month, exclusive of the kit’s courier fee.

How many sessions?

The online classes -- maximum 4 students per class - last 45 minutes and held twice a week. On other days of the week, the teacher assigns asynchronous activities such as reading a book, accomplishing worksheets and other activities in the learning kit.

How many students per class?

It depends on the student's level and chosen schedule, but the class is limited to 4 students at a time. Having classmates increases a child's interest in learning.

What is the assessment for?

The 30-minute teacher-administered test determines the child's skills (including mastery of letters & letter sounds, ability to read sight words, and reading comprehension) and helps us place him or her in the right level of the program. Parents receive an assessment report.

What are the available schedules?

We will inform you of the proposed class schedule, based on your preference and common time with classmates in the same level, after assessment.

How many months is the program? How quickly are they expected to read well?

Reading is the basis of all learning: the pace depends on the child's personal development. If the child is ready and knows letter names and sounds, it will take approximately 12 months for the student to become a fluent reader.

What is the difference between Reading Safari, The Reading Advantage and English Edge?

Reading Safari and The Reading Advantage are for students learning how to read (RS- phonemes, letters, letter sounds; TRA - blending of sounds and sight words) strengthening their reading skills (preschool to grade 1) while English Edge is for older students (grade school to high school students) that can benefit from reading comprehension, grammar, and writing activities.
