ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

We strongly believe in equipping our children with reading and literacy skills to give them a strong foundation and head start as they prepare for primary school.  READERKids is a reading and literacy programme for pre-school children aged 5 to 6 years old. The programme aims to help our children cultivate a love for reading and learning from a young through fun and engaging activities and  promoting increased parental involvement in their child’s education.

Story of Jermaine, volunteer of READERKids

I’ve had the last two years with KIPERKIDS to truly broaden my outlook on life. Even though sessions are conducted online, I believe I can be the child’s “sister/friend” who is always there for them. Overall, my experience volunteering has been really rewarding since I feel like I’m making a difference in each of their lives.
