Parent Stories
Small wins that become big confidence
★★★★★“At first, I wasn’t sure if an online reading class would work for my child. But the teacher knows how to keep her involved throughout the class. She looks forward to her class every week, and I can really see her reading improving.”
★★★★★“My son used to avoid reading Bahasa Melayu because he found it difficult. With Phono, he is no longer afraid of reading. Not only can he read words more confidently, but when it comes to ejaan, he is now able to read and write the words much faster. I’m really happy to see how much he has improved.”
★★★★★“I’m really thankful for how patiently the teacher guides my child. She guides him step by step, never rushes him, and always encourages him to try again. He used to get frustrated when he couldn’t read, but now he is much more willing to try.”
