Stage 1

Foundation

Grades 1–2 · L4–L6

FAQ

Common Questions About Programs

What's the difference between Foundation and Breakthrough?

Foundation (L4–L6) uses Wonders to build classroom reading and writing fundamentals — comprehension, vocabulary, sentence and paragraph writing. Breakthrough (L7–L10) uses authentic English original books for close reading, text evidence, character and theme analysis, and structured essay writing.

How is level placement determined?

Every child starts with a free assessment — a short live reading and writing check with a U.S.-licensed teacher. Grade is a rough indicator; actual placement is based on your child's current skills.

Can my child move between stages later?

Yes. Students naturally graduate from Foundation into Breakthrough as their reading and writing strengthen. Your teacher flags the transition when your child is ready.

Which format is better — 1-on-1 or small group?

Both work well — the right choice depends on your child. 1-on-1 is best for focused catch-up or highly personalized attention. Small Group of 3 is best for children who thrive on peer discussion.
