FOR PARENTS

“After 8 months of using sMiles, my son can now construct full sentences, produce clear sounds in English, as well as readily learn the new sound introduced with each lesson.”

Holistic

learning for your child

sMiles provides a rich reading environment with plenty of opportunities for self-expression through oral presentation, written composition and illustration. While it appears that your child is learning how to read and write, they’re also developing true literacy – the ability to understand and communicate. 

The sMiles program uses a systematic and repetitive form of learning that builds on skills already acquired, setting your child up for success as they move on to more complex sounds.

The use of color, poetry, sound, picture, video, and storytelling makes this a deeply engaging learning system that your child will enjoy and look forward to. And you’ll have the satisfaction of watching them discover the joy of recognizing words and expressing themselves in full sentences.

Encouraging literacy at home

Classwork is at the center of our sMiles program, but like any other subject, a phonics program is far more effective when it is also reinforced at home. Here are some ways in which you can support your child’s progress:

  • Read aloud together: The familiarity of beloved stories or books will make it easier to practice sounding out and decoding words.
  • Practice what you preach: Your child learns from you, so fill your home with books and let them see you enjoying a quiet read, too.
  • Talk to the teacher: Your child’s teacher can provide activity suggestions and point out areas that need focus.
  • Turn phonics into an everyday game: Read labels at the supermarket, watch movies with subtitles, and look for familiar words on signboards.

love sMiles!

Rea is now able to segment and blend words easily, and I am so amazed to see how she reads and writes confidently. The illustrated book, along with the simple words and sentences, made it easy for Rea not only to read but also to understand the sequence of events, answer all the questions, and even retell the story in her own way. Thank you, sMiles!

My son went through a traumatic experience that affected his speech, but the English phonics program had a significant impact on him. I started observing a change in his speech after the second month. After 8 months of using the sMiles program, he can now construct full sentences, as well as readily learn the new sound introduced with each lesson.

The sMiles program has taught my child to decode words, which led to improved word recognition and increased reading fluency. This program has tremendously improved his reading skills and gave him a head start at school. We are very pleased with how this has reflected on his self-confidence and love for reading books.

The phonics program has helped Yousuf in reading and writing, and we have seen a big improvement since he started his sessions. He sounds out words and learned to recognize how sounds are represented alphabetically. He can identify some letter sounds, symbols, characters and signs, and can read words better than before. We have also witnessed a big improvement in writing.
