LITTLE LEARNERS
Tailored for ages 3 to 5 in small groups (2–5 kids), this weekly program builds early literacy and numeracy using the Science of Reading, paired with creative and sensory play.
Building a strong foundation
This program is especially designed for children 3 to 5 years of age. It runs once a week, on a Termly basis, for 45 to 60 minutes. We offer very small and highly personalised group classes – normally with 2 to 5 students in class. We have onsite and online learning environment (for resources & feedback only).
Our ‘Little Learners’ program aim to develop core subjects of early literacy and numeracy skills while learning and having fun. In every session, we include activities that promote sensory play, creativity, social skills, and independence.
EARLY LITERACY
To develop early literacy, we follow the “Structured Literacy Approach”, which is based on the “Science of Reading” (SoR) where we implement a robust program and use fun resources. In this program, our learners initially will have a strong grasp of letter recognition and sound production, eventually combining sounds to read as they move to the next level and challenges. A ‘certificate’ will be issued after the completion of each level. Gone are the days of rote learning and reading. We ensure that our little learners have strong phonemic awareness and can decode and encode based on research-based approaches.
GREAT NEWS – WE ARE ONE OF THE PIONEERS WHEN IT COMES TO THE SCIENCE OF READING (SoR) !!!
At Learner’s Hub Education Centre, we’re more than ready for this change – “All Victorian State Schools will embrace phonics from next year as the Government tries to improve reading levels in Prep to Year 2.” We’ve been pioneers in using this approach since 2020. During the pandemic, our dedicated owners sought effective and interactive methods to teach reading to young learners and early primary students. The lockdowns posed challenges, but we discovered ‘The Science of Reading’ and have been committed ever since!
What sets us apart?
1- Complete Reading Kits – accompanied by fun and interactive learning resources and activities
2- Robust assessment strategies – SPARKLE Reading Assessment Kits
3- Professional development from top experts – YES, we’ve been personally trained by the company who create national and internationally acclaimed wonderful reading resources.

4- Phonemic awareness is emphasized as a necessary pre-reading skill and teachers recognize and target the sequence of skills to build phonological awareness from early to advanced skill levels.
5- Regular words are taught according to phonetic patterns and irregular words are analysed for their irregularities. When proficient readers encounter new words, they phonemically analyse the word for the Science of Reading has proven that a Structured Literacy approach is a necessary foundation for reading success.
Our Little Learners also learn the following in our sessions:
✓ Handwriting: A to Z – based on Victorian Handwriting, pencil grip, as well as writing their names
✓ Reading and spelling high-frequency words
✓ Number sense – Number sense is basically the ability to understand numbers and the relationships between numbers. Number sense in pre-schoolers includes skills and knowledge like:
1- ‘number identification’ – recognising and naming numbers
2- ‘one to one correspondence’ – understanding that when counting each number relates to one specific thing being counted
2- ‘stable order’ – knowing that numbers always come in a set order (for example, 2 comes before 3)
4- ‘cardinality’ – knowing that the last number counted is the number of objects
5- ‘magnitude’ – recognising that higher numbers reflect larger quantities
✓ F2 – focus and following instructions
✓ Mindfulness

NAPLAN Preparation Program
- The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy refers to an annual national numeracy and literacy assessment of young Australians in years 3, 5, 7, and 9. Governments, education authorities, and schools can use the results to gauge students’ academic readiness for higher learning.

- Enrolling your child in a NAPLAN prep program can help them hone the skills that are assessed in the exam, the very skills that they need to go further in school and in life.
- Our NAPLAN Programs are offered during school holidays, or even a year before the students sit on the exam.

What is ICAS?
The International Competitions and Assessments for Schools, or ICAS for short, is an independent, skills-based assessment program. ICAs recognises and rewards student achievement in areas such as English, maths, science, spelling, writing and digital technologies. The series of tests are designed to match and test skills that are learned in the school classroom.
These tests are updated annually to ensure that they accurately measure levels of understanding and capabilities in different subject areas. The tests are reviewed by experienced teachers to ensure that accurate assessment of students’ skills and relevance to classroom topics.
Students in over 20 countries including Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa and the United States participate in ICAS each year. Each test is sat at the student’s school and is invigilated by teachers under normal examination conditions.
Why does ICAS and ICAS preparation matter?
ICAS is a test that is used by schools and teachers to better understand what each student can and can’t do at a given point in time and to help track student progress from year to year. These exams are used as a component of testing a student’s overall academic achievement for a particular year. ICAS can also be used as a placement test by some schools. Preparation for ICAS will ensure that your child is informed about the purpose and structure of the test. Additionally, it helps your child to understand the testing and examination procedure so that they can perform at their best during the examination.
ICAS Results and Rankings
Students who undertake the ICAS test are ranked based on their percentile in each year level across every participating state (Australia) and country:
1- Top 1% of students receive a High Distinction
2- The next 10% of students receive a Distinction
3- The following 25% of students receive a Credit
4- The next 10% of students receive a Merit Certificate
5- All other students receive a Participation Certificate
ICAS provides a reporting system that is easy to use and gives the opportunity for parents to view their child’s individual results. You can also view the performance of the school your child is enrolled in. The reporting system is online and can be accessed using a code provided by your child’s school.
The report provides a summary of results for all year levels at your child’s school, a year level summary, student results in each year level and a student response analysis for each year level. This gives you great insights into how their kids are performing compared to their peers, locally, nationally, and globally.
