Frequently Asked Questions

1. My child signed up for this programme last year, can he/she attend again?

No, the materials will be the same.

2. Must my child have read the books to sign up?

No, the teacher will go through a summary of the story in the class. We hope that after the lesson, your child will be so intrigued by the stories that he/she will be eager to read the book.

3. How is this different from your core curriculum? Do you not cover Roald Dahl books?

This programmes focuses only on books by Roald Dahl whom we believe is a good writer of children's books. Our core curriculum will cover a variety of authors as we like to expose our children to different writing styles. As the focus is on stories, teachers will spend more time during this programme discussing the books and nurturing a love of reading in the children.
