Reading & Story Adventures · Ages 6–14 · Levels 1–5 · Hanoi & live online
Great stories turn quiet readers into confident thinkers, speakers, and writers.
Most English classes stop at vocabulary lists and fill-in-the-blank worksheets. Here, your child reads real storybooks, talks through big questions with peers, and builds a written Growth Portfolio you can read every month.
Sessions with learners under 18 are never recorded.
How every lesson works, for confident and shy learners
- 1
Start calm & curious.
A relaxed warm-up and pre-taught story words (Word Fossils), so even shy learners feel safe to share.
- 2
Explore a real book together.
Guided by Professor Rex across four illustrated story worlds, students notice character choices, dilemmas and themes.
- 3
Look closely, weigh the choices, prove it, connect it.
Our 4-step thinking routine (Analyze · Evaluate · Justify · Reflect) turns a quick opinion into a reason backed by the text.
- 4
Add to your child’s Growth Portfolio.
Written Word Fossil vocabulary logs, before-and-after paragraph revisions and written teacher observation notes, shared in a plain-language parent update.
Illustrative Teaching Example
From a one-line opinion to a supported explanation
“As the storm rose, Maya looked at her last dry flare. She could save it to signal the rescue boat for herself, or fire it now so the lost fishing crew could see the reef.”
Typical uncoached answer
“Yes, I think Maya made a good choice because she is very brave and kind to other people.”
Coached: Point + Proof + Explain
- 1. Point“I think Maya made the right choice...”
- 2. Proof“...because she fires her last dry flare to warn the lost fishing crew about the reef...”
- 3. Explain“...which shows she values saving several lives right now over keeping a backup for herself.”
