SINGAPORE – All four of Ms Febri Wulandari’s children, who are aged four, seven, eight and nine, are enrolled in a reading programme in English that they attend on Saturdays at MacPherson Community Club.
Targeted at kids aged between four and nine, the programme run by Reading Roots, a social service group focusing on literacy, has seen a surge in interest in recent years from the low-income families that it serves.
