Reading in English from Scratch

Go from single words to short sentences – for children aged 4 and up

We will contact you when the course becomes available for registration.

Learn about the programme

This programme is designed for children who have never read before, are just beginning to read, or are experiencing difficulties in understanding texts. From the first lessons, your child will be immersed in the language environment through reading. By the end of the course, your child will have expanded their vocabulary, learned to read and retell texts, become able to discuss and express their opinion on what they’ve read, and become able to engage in and maintain dialogue in English.

What will we do during the classes?

Get to know the letters

Your child will learn the alphabet, learn letter combinations, and practise the pronunciation of English sounds

Build vocabulary

Your child will acquire useful vocabulary and learn how to use it correctly

Master the basics of grammar

Your child will be introduced to structures and concepts such as ‘to be’; past, present, and future simple tense; and prepositions and conjunctions

Develop conscious reading

With your child, we will read and retell interesting texts and discuss what we’ve read

Learn to write in print letters

Your child will learn to write words and sentences without skipping letters

Improve listening and articulation skills

Child will learn to distinguish the sound composition of words, enhancing their own pronunciation

Here are five reasons to learn with us:

Classes are conducted entirely in English, utilising context, interactive games, images, real objects, and simple sentences.

Your child will acquire new communication skills in English and begin overcoming the language barrier.

All lessons will take place in a comfortable environment for your child at any time that is convenient for you. Only internet access is required.

We take into account the age of each child and choose the pace of learning that will support their desire to learn.

In our classes, children are enthusiastically engaged, not just because they have to be but because it’s interesting.

«Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.» — Anthony J. D’Angelo

Thank you Kidskey for the wonderful lessons with our teachers. My son is 7 years old, he struggles to sit still for more than 10 minutes, and he speaks Russian quite badly since his main language is French. But the teachers at Kidskey know how to work with bilinguals and found the right approach to ...

My son Martin is 7 years old. When we came to Kidskey, he could already read and write a little bit, but he was very shy and it was hard for him to speak up in front of the class. Even though he knew the answer to the teacher's question, he would get confused and stammer. We were primarily intereste...

Catherine, Mark's mother, USA

We always studied with Mark on our own, reading books and playing educational games. I am not a teacher, so the lessons were irregular, and I couldn't always explain everything to our son. Since my son is a bilingual, I first looked for Russian language courses, so that he wouldn't forget it after s...

Marina, Mia's mom, Sweden

We signed up for the course to improve Mia's reading skills. Mia couldn't read a word on the first go, it was all super slow, and by the end of the sentence, she's forget what it was about. Thank you to our teacher Elena, she made our daughter feel comfortable from the very first lesson, and she exp...
