Why we work
The results we see at I Can Read sound almost too good to be true, but we’ve got the data to back it up. Our evidence-based system truly works to get kids reading faster, better, and with more confidence than they can achieve at school and home.
LEARNING MATERIAL:
Our core programme contains just five proven phonics-based books designed to rapidly develop students’ decoding skills during weekly 60-minute lessons.
ACCREDITED EDUCATORS:
Every ICR educator is thoroughly trained in ICR pedagogy and a qualified primary school teacher - at all levels!
CLASS SIZES:
Our small class has a maximum of 5 students, minimising distractions and allowing for more attentive 1-on-1 support.
ROBUST DATA:
Not only is our programme tried and tested with comprehensive research and reports to support its effectiveness, but our purpose-built app contains resources, results and assessments to help parents and educators track and measure student progress.
Global success
ICR GLOBAL
Since launching in 1998, I Can Read has become the most successful reading programme worldwide, spreading from Australia to Singapore and beyond.
ICR AUSTRALIA
Here at home, I Can Read has grown exponentially since changing ownership in 2022.
A brighter future for Australia
At ICR, we understand this is not the fault of hardworking teachers but an unfortunate combination of lack of funding and ineffective curriculums and instructional methods.
With burnout rising among teaching faculty and educational outcomes falling short nationwide, ICR provides teachers a place to reignite their passion for education.
Employing an evidence-based programme that truly works, teachers can focus on what they do best and make a measurable impact on the lives of their students.
As ICR reaches more students each year, we believe Franchise Partners can transform Australia’s educational landscape and shape a brighter future for the entire nation.
Our growth plan is ambitious. With a projected eight new Franchises per year, we aim to support children’s acquisition of literacy in over 30 new locations Australia-wide within the next five years.
