About "Little Readers"
Little Readers is an enrichment class provider operating islandwide across Singapore, verified by KakiList. It holds a Google rating of 4.6 out of 5, though this is based on 18 reviews — a small sample that should be treated as directional rather than definitive. Pricing is indicated at the mid-range tier ($$), though specific session or monthly fees are not publicly listed.
Families considering Little Readers would typically begin by enquiring about level and syllabus fit — whether the programme aligns with your child's current school curriculum, learning goals, or age group. It is worth asking whether classes are offered in a group or one-to-one format, as this affects both pacing and cost. Checking on term commitment length, make-up class policy, and whether sessions are held at the Upper Serangoon Road centre or delivered online will help you assess practical fit before enrolling.
The most straightforward next step is to reach out via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form to ask about current availability, request details on the programme your child needs, and find out whether a trial class is offered before committing to a full term.

Teacher Mary is very patient and fun when conducting lessons. My daughter always told me that she likes the lessons as Teacher Mary is very funny. She attended the phonics lessons a bit late when she was already 4.5years old. She was not able to read well at that time so I got worried and decided to enroll her to this class after much research. I liked that the class can be conducted virtually and the fees are very reasonable. Fast forward to 1.5 years later, she can already read entire book on her own without my help and some of these books are for older kids. Definitely a vast improvement from the time she started. Really happy that she can complete her advanced level before she starts primary school.

My both girls are happy to attend Teacher Mary’s phonics lessons. The eldest has joined the class about 2 years and now she has completed the advanced lessons. She is able to read aloud and fluently at her own now. We are really glad to see that she can read confidently and enjoying her stories books during her free time. She also got “Mastery Grade” from her P1 English teacher for her English Listening, Reading and Writing skills in term 1. Once again, thanks to Teacher Mary for the efforts and times in educating our children!

Teacher Mary is a very experienced teacher and I’m glad I was introduced to her. My son started with her from the beginner stage at around 4yo and has since completed the advanced course at 6yo. The variety of resources provided are useful in guiding my child to read and write. He can already read pretty well at 6yo. Most importantly, he enjoys the classes. Definitely recommended!

My child used to attend I Can Read for close to 2yrs but I didn’t notice much improvement so I decided to source for alternatives and I found Teacher Mary via google search. Classes were originally conducted at her home in Punggol which is clean and conducive. When disrupted by covid restrictions, classes continue to be seamlessly conducted online. My daughter remained engaged throughout the 1.5hrs session with Teacher Mary. She has shown a lot of progress in a short span of time and is able to read independently now at 6yrs old. Teacher Mary’s classes are also very affordable and definitely provides much higher yield compared to many heavily commercialized and much more expensive centres in this industry.

I sent my son for phonics class very late. I sent him when he was 6yo, in Dec, just a month away before entering P1. And he still did not know how to read, even a simple word like "Cat". I got so worried and was recommended by my cousin, Teacher Mary Cate. Enrolled him and was surprised that he was able to read simple words in just about 1 to 2months. And by mid year, he was able to read sentences and storybooks on his own. He also can do his school spelling easily just by making the sound of the letter. He enjoyed Teacher Mary Cate's lessons, be it physically or via zoom. Most importantly, he really had fun learning and can see his progression really well. Thank you Teacher Mary Cate :)

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does "Little Readers" charge per session?›
Little Readers lists its pricing at a mid-range level ($$), but specific per-session, monthly, or term fees are not published publicly. Enrichment class providers in Singapore typically structure fees as a per-session rate, a monthly package, or a termly block — and the total cost will depend on whether your child attends group lessons or one-to-one sessions. Group classes generally run S$30–80 per session, while one-to-one tuition can range from S$60–150 or more depending on the subject and tutor's experience. Ask about materials fees, whether a trial class attracts a separate charge, and whether sibling or multi-subject discounts apply. Some providers charge a registration or admin fee at enrolment.

Can I try a class before committing?›
Many enrichment providers in Singapore offer a trial class so families can assess fit before signing up for a full term. It is worth asking Little Readers directly whether a trial is available, whether it is free or charged at the standard session rate, and what the refund or withdrawal terms are if you decide not to continue. During a trial, pay attention to whether your child is engaged throughout, whether the level is appropriately pitched — neither too easy nor frustratingly difficult — and whether the teaching style suits how your child learns. A single trial session is usually enough to form a reasonable first impression, but do feel free to ask the tutor about their approach and the term plan before making a decision.
What are the tutor's credentials at "Little Readers"?›
Credential information for the tutors or instructors at Little Readers is not publicly listed on their profile. When enquiring, it is reasonable to ask whether tutors hold an NIE qualification or a relevant degree, how many years of teaching experience they have, and whether the programme is aligned to the MOE syllabus or another framework such as IB or IGCSE. For enrichment classes specifically, subject-matter expertise and track record with students at your child's level can matter as much as formal teaching qualifications. If the listing does not state credentials clearly, ask directly before committing to a term. Listing data is incomplete — contact "Little Readers" directly to confirm details.
