A seven-level reading curriculum using No-Spelling Phonics, walking your child from letter sounds all the way to understanding what they read. Private 1-on-1, in person or online, moving at your child's own pace.
In Depok, a satellite city of Jakarta close to the campus area, many young parents want to know how to prepare their child's learning foundation amid a packed schedule. Here is the basic explanation for families here. Reading classes are guided learning that helps children aged 3 to 10 learn to read, arranged across 7 levels. Your child begins with letter sounds, then blends syllables, reads sentences fluently, and finally understands what a passage means. Because they learn from the sounds, your child can read new words on their own while growing to love reading.
Lilo places your child at the level that fits, from knowing letters to understanding a passage, then walks beside them one step at a time. In Depok, Lilo places your child at the right stage from the start.
Your child knows the letter names, yet still spells every word out one by one, c-a-t cat, which makes reading slow and tiring. Through the no-spelling phonics method, your child learns from letter sounds and reads whole syllables right away.
Your child reads open syllables fluently, yet stumbles on closing consonants, reading cat as ca or top as to. At Level 3, your child is trained to read the final letter with care through fast-reading sheets and similar-word pairs.
Your child stops progressing at ng, ny, tr, or ai, and starts to lose heart. This level truly is the hardest, so Lilo trains each pattern separately with dense practice and on-the-spot sound correction until your child gets through it with confidence.
Your child sounds out word after word smoothly, yet looks puzzled when asked what the story was about. At Level 6, your child reads short passages, answers 5W questions, and retells them, until they truly understand what they read.
Depok has a character all its own, a satellite city of Jakarta that is also a campus town, with the busy Margonda corridor full of students and rows of quiet housing from Sukmajaya to Sawangan. Many young families here leave early in the morning on the KRL commuter train to Jakarta and return only near nightfall, so time together with their child feels precious and they want to use it as well as they can. The academic atmosphere around the campus area in Beji keeps a culture of learning close to daily life, from small reading corners to family conversations about a child's schooling. Lilo helps children in Depok build a learning foundation, from reading, writing, to arithmetic, with a rhythm that fits the schedule of a commuter family.
Many Depok parents leave for Jakarta in the morning and arrive home only in the evening. Lilo arranges afternoon sessions and online options so your child keeps learning calmly, without adding more travel for a family that has already spent the day on the road.
Close to the academic atmosphere in the Beji area and the Margonda corridor, children in Depok are used to seeing a culture of learning around them. Lilo nurtures that curiosity through learning that feels alive and enjoyable.
For families in the Sukmajaya, Cimanggis, and Sawangan housing areas, a Lilo tutor can come to your home with focused private sessions, so your child learns in a place that feels familiar and comfortable.
For commuter families in Depok, Lilo uses a step by step way of learning that makes sure your child truly understands first before moving on to the next material. Lilo has a seven-level reading curriculum, from Level 0 to Level 6, that teaches your child through letter sounds. Your child masters one stage before moving up, supported by steady, regular practice like Kumon. From knowing letters to understanding a story, your child's reading is built solid.
Your child learns the sound of each letter, /m/, /a/, /t/, and reads it straight away, with no need to memorize letter names first. The vowels and the most common consonants are introduced through songs, sound cards, and playful games.
The tutor models a whole syllable like ma, bi, tu, your child copies it and then reads it alone while pointing at the letters. Two syllables join into a meaningful word like mama, mata, sapi. This approach clears away the slow habit of spelling out letter names.
The journey is built from letters at Level 0, then open syllables, words, closing consonants, letter combinations, sentences, and finally reading passages at Level 6. Your child moves up only after a stage is truly mastered, so the reading foundation has no gaps.
Every level has fun practice sheets: random reading, timed reading as a game, fill in the letter, and match similar words. This steady, regular practice like Kumon helps your child read more fluently and with more confidence.
At the sentence level, the SAS method (Structural Analytic Synthetic) breaks a sentence down into words and syllables, then rebuilds it whole with the right intonation. At the final level your child answers 5W questions and retells the story, closing with an I Can Read graduation.
Lilo's reading expertise rests on a phonics method that goes straight from letter sounds. Your child turns sounds into words, then climbs seven levels until they understand what they read.
A child who masters the sounds that build a word can read a word they have never seen, because they assemble it themselves from sounds they already know.
Your child learns each letter's sound, /m/, /a/, /t/, then reads it straight away and skips memorizing letter names. From here your child can work out new words on their own.
The tutor models a whole syllable like ma, bi, tu, your child copies it and then reads it alone. Two syllables join into a meaningful word like mama, mata, sapi, so your child reads without spelling out.
Every word in the reading material uses only the patterns already taught. Your child succeeds in reading from the very first day, then moves up with confidence.
The letter-combination level like ng, ny, tr, and ai is the hardest point, and many children get stuck here. Lilo trains each pattern separately with dense practice and on-the-spot sound correction.
Your child moves up after truly mastering each stage, so their reading foundation is built solid with no gaps.
Here are the four reading struggles children run into most often, along with how Lilo's seven-level phonics curriculum guides your child through each one. Lilo tutors in Depok walk your child through each of these step by step.
Why it happensA child who does not yet know the sounds that build a word can only lean on shape memory. Every word becomes a fresh thing to memorize, and the list of words to remember piles up with no key to work them out alone.
How Lilo helpsAt Level 0 your child learns each letter's sound, /m/, /a/, /t/, with sound cards and songs, then at Level 1 blends them into whole syllables. Because they read from the sounds, your child can work out a word they have never seen on their own.
Why it happensLetter names (em, bee, ay) differ from their sounds (/m/, /b/, /a/), so spelling the names actually cuts off the path to the word's sound. Your child slows down on every word and loses their reading rhythm.
How Lilo helpsLilo's No-Spelling Phonics method skips the step of memorizing letter names. The tutor models a whole syllable like ma, bi, tu, your child copies it and reads it alone while pointing at the letters, so the slow habit of spelling out is cleared away from the start.
Why it happensClosed syllables that end in a consonant ask your child to read carefully all the way to the last letter. A child used to open syllables tends to stop at the vowel, and similar-looking word pairs then trip them up.
How Lilo helpsLevel 3 trains closed syllables CVC like cat and top specifically, with fast-reading sheets and similar-pair drills such as cap and cab. The tutor corrects any wrong sound right on the spot, so your child gets used to reading the final letter with care.
Why it happensWorking out sounds and understanding meaning are two different skills. When all of your child's effort goes into sounding out words, there is little room left to take in the meaning, so fluent reading does not always come with comprehension.
How Lilo helpsAt Level 5 the SAS method breaks a sentence down and rebuilds it whole with intonation, so reading feels light. At Level 6 your child answers 5W questions and retells the passage, so fluency and comprehension grow together up to the I Can Read graduation.
A leveled curriculum. Your child moves up only after mastering each stage, so the foundation stays solid.
The foundation of reading: your child learns each letter's sound and notices the sounds that build a word, the key to working out new words on their own.
Joining sounds into open syllables and then into meaningful words with the no-spelling method that speeds up your child's fluency.
The hardest stage: closed syllables, digraphs, consonant clusters, and diphthongs, where many children need extra support to get through.
Your child reads whole sentences with the SAS method, following punctuation and the right intonation.
The final stage of reading: understanding a passage, answering 5W questions, finding the main idea, and retelling the story.
This is what makes Lilo reading classes special: a real curriculum arranged level by level, neat and complete. Here is a peek at actual practice sheets from several reading levels.
