Literacy and numeracy skills are crucial aspects of communication and are important for successful learning. The foundations for these competencies are established in a child’s formative years.
Literacy and Numeracy are among the most important information-processing skills necessary in the development of children. Modern life becomes practically impossible without these competencies. Obtaining a good level of literacy and numeracy lays the basis for preschoolers’ successful participation in their Primary years, and in the long run, their career prospects in an increasingly technological world and for their life as informed and reflective citizens.
Literacy
Is your child developing the skills to read, write, and communicate confidently in Thai, English, and Chinese? At Li’lberry, we believe literacy goes beyond reading and writing—it is about understanding, interpreting, and engaging with language effectively.
Our trilingual approach broadens children’s cultural perspectives while strengthening cognitive skills such as logical reasoning, flexible problem-solving, and multitasking. These essential abilities help prepare children to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Numeracy
Strong numeracy and mathematical skills are essential in today’s technology-driven world, where careers in fields such as data science, engineering, and technology continue to grow. More than learning to count, early numeracy helps children recognise patterns, solve problems, and think logically.
At Li’lberry, children build a strong mathematical foundation by exploring numbers, shapes, patterns, time, and measurement through meaningful, hands-on experiences. These skills develop critical thinking and prepare them for everyday life and future learning.
Li'lberry’s Core Foundational Learning Programmes
Through intentional subject teaching in English, Mandarin and Mathematics, preschoolers acquire essential domain knowledge.
Literacy Fun ™
Literacy Fun ™
Learning to read begins with understanding letter sounds and developing phonemic awareness—two key foundations for early literacy. Our structured Literacy Fun™ programme builds strong English language skills through engaging, hands-on learning experiences.
Using the renowned Rigby Star Phonics programme, children learn letter sounds, blend them into words, and develop an expressive vocabulary of over 4,500 English words by age six. Through storytelling, discussions, show-and-tell, and creative writing, children strengthen their reading, listening, speaking, and writing skills while growing into confident communicators and fluent readers.
Chinese Master ™
Chinese Master ™
Young children are naturally well-suited to learning Chinese, especially its tonal sounds, making the preschool years the ideal time to build language proficiency. Guided by native Chinese teachers, children develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills through engaging, age-appropriate learning experiences.
The Chinese Master™ programme helps children recognise tones, understand Chinese characters, and learn positive values through Di Zi Gui (弟子规). Children build a strong Chinese vocabulary while developing communication skills and a deeper appreciation of Chinese language and culture. By age 6, Li’lberry students will acquire an expressive vocabulary of over 200 Chinese words.
Math Quest ™
Math Quest ™
Early numeracy skills lay the foundation for future success in mathematics. Through hands-on activities, games, and interactive learning materials, the Math Quest™ programme helps children develop logical thinking, problem-solving, and spatial awareness in a fun and engaging environment.
Children gradually build confidence in counting, recognising patterns and relationships, measuring, identifying shapes, and understanding key mathematical concepts, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, by the age of six.
