Who Is This For

When Reading, Writing and Counting Help Your Child Most

Lilo's reading, writing and counting follows your child's own pace, from those just meeting their letters to those about to start school. In Solo, Lilo places your child at the right stage from the start.

When Your Child Is Getting to Know Letters and Numbers

Your child is starting to enjoy picture books and points to a few letters from their name, yet cannot read or count yet. Lilo begins with objects they can hold and the sounds of letters, so their first step feels happy.

When Your Child Is Getting Ready for School Next Year

Your child will start primary school soon and you want their first day to feel light. Lilo builds reading, writing, and counting step by step, so they arrive at school calm and confident.

When Your Child Knows Letters and Is Learning to Blend Them

Your child knows their letters A to Z, yet still gets stuck putting them together into syllables like ba, bu, or ma. Lilo trains letter sounds one step at a time until they can blend them into words with ease.

When Your Child Reads Well and Is Warming Up to Counting

Your child can start to read words, yet goes quiet and unsure when asked to add or subtract. Lilo guides them through counting with real objects and Bar Models, so they understand numbers from their own experience.

At Lilo, reading, writing, and counting are woven into one journey that strengthens each other. Your child climbs step by step in a way that makes them love learning, until they are truly ready and confident to start school.

Word Problems Through Bar Models

Common Mistakes

Reading, Writing and Counting Struggles, and How Lilo Solves Them

When your child learns reading, writing, and counting at once, a few habits often get in the way, and each one has a clear way out at Lilo. Lilo tutors in Solo walk your child through each of these step by step.

Your child memorizes whole word shapes and spells out letter names (bee, ay, ba) before they can actually read.

Why it happensSpelling letter names piles up sounds that do not connect, so your child guesses words from pictures or memorizes how they look without truly reading.

How Lilo helpsLilo uses the sounds of letters, not their names. Your child climbs from stage H (recognizing letter sounds) to S (blending syllables), sounding words out directly and reading with understanding from the very first step.

Your child reads sentences aloud smoothly, yet looks puzzled when asked what the story was about.

Why it happensReading and understanding are two separate skills. When all of your child's effort goes into sounding out words, the meaning of the sentence slips away.

How Lilo helpsOnce your child is fluent at stage K (reading words), Lilo guides them to stage P (reading comprehension) through short stories and retelling questions. Your child reads while understanding, so they are ready to answer what they read.

Your child knows facts like 7 plus 5 by heart, yet panics and guesses the moment a word problem appears.

Why it happensMemorizing numbers does not teach your child to turn a sentence into a calculation, so they get confused about whether to add or subtract.

How Lilo helpsLilo draws word problems with the Singapore Bar Model. Your child sees the problem become a clear picture, breaks a big problem into small steps, and then finds the answer on their own.

Your child jumps to writing numbers and letters while their pencil grip is still stiff and their letters come out reversed.

Why it happensYour child's small hand muscles are not ready for complex shapes yet, so pushing them to write early makes the writing messy and they give up quickly.

How Lilo helpsLilo uses the Singapore way that starts from real objects. Your child practices lines and patterns first in the basic writing stage, then climbs to upright letters (stage T), so their hand grows strong before writing words neatly.

Method

Lilo's Step-by-Step Reading, Writing and Counting Method

The way Lilo guides children in Solo follows the careful spirit of this city, stepping slowly and precisely from something real to true understanding, with regular practice that grows perseverance. At Lilo, your child learns in a way that makes them love learning. Reading begins with the sounds of letters, one step at a time. Counting starts with objects your child can hold first, then slowly moves to the numbers themselves. This approach, used in Singapore, helps your child build real understanding that lasts.

  1. A Warm First Hello

    At the start, the tutor plays with your child while getting to know their abilities: which letters they already know and how far they can count. From here, the material is prepared to fit them perfectly. There is no scary test.

  2. Start with Real Objects

    Your child learns with things they can hold first, like buttons or sticks, while hearing the sounds of letters. Once comfortable, they slowly meet the numbers and how to write them. This way, your child understands from their own experience.

  3. Climb One Step at a Time

    Reading climbs from recognizing letters to reading short stories. Counting climbs from recognizing numbers to larger sums. Your child masters one step first, then moves on with confidence.

  4. Practice Through Everyday Stories

    Word problems are drawn with easy-to-see Bar Models, so your child learns to think and find the answer on their own. They also read words around them and count with objects at home.

  5. You Always Know How Your Child Is Doing

    Every week you receive a progress update on your child: what they have mastered and what comes next. That way, you can cheer them on at home too.
