Improving literacy has a significant weight in educational therapy. At Kidz OTC, we strongly believe that literacy goes beyond gaining academic skills like reading and writing. Our certified and well-experienced educational therapists in Singapore focus on nurturing intrinsic motivation, so students find genuine interest in what they’re learning. We focus on foundational skills such as phonics and decoding, not just to build reading abilities, but to instill a passion for reading that encourages engagement and perseverance. By enhancing reading comprehension and writing skills—including spelling, grammar, and composition—we empower students to express themselves confidently through educational therapy.
We make learning engaging through multi-sensory approaches in educational therapy that bring lessons to life with visual aids and hands-on activities. Our well-qualified educational therapists conduct structured literacy programs that offer a systematic way to learn, while storytelling encourages creativity and vocabulary development.

As part of educational therapy, we work with numeracy, emphasizing mathematical comprehension as a meaningful part of everyday life. We start with basic number sense, fostering skills in counting and comparing numbers, and move on to mastering addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Problem-solving and critical thinking are woven into our lessons, ensuring students see the relevance of maths in their lives.
Using hands-on manipulatives helps visualise these concepts, while real-life applications connect maths to everyday situations. At KidzOTC, we include interactive games in our educational therapy programs, creating a fun, engaging learning environment for each student.

FAQ
What is the difference between an educational therapist and a tutor?
Although both of them aim to support a student’s learning journey, educational therapists and tutors serve different purposes.

How do I know if my child needs educational therapy?
If your child has difficulties in reading, writing, focusing, or retaining information regardless of the efforts of his/her teachers, it will be wise to consider educational therapy.

Yes, educational therapy is suitable for any child experiencing learning challenges, including those who have ADHD or dyslexia.

The duration of educational therapy depends on your child’s unique learning needs and goals. While some children show progress in a few months, others may require longer-term support. Remember, consistency is the key to improvement.
