DEVELOPING A CHILD’S POTENTIAL

The GRIT Project is a Children and Youth Centre by Lakeside Family Services. We serve children and youth aged between 5 and 18 in the Nanyang community. We providea platform and a space for them to be engaged via a series of programmes and counselling services, designed to stay relevant with children and youth trends and needs.

Through these programmes and services, The GRIT Project aims to provide a safe space for self-discovery and empowerment. We hope to grow our children and youth to be confident, competent, connected, caring and of good character, so they are able to make quality choices in their lives and serve the community.

Lakeside’s Reading Intervention Services serves children aged 4 to 8 from low-income families with reading programmes, storytelling, crafts, audio-visuals, songs, play, and phonics lessons. We help them learn to read at an age-appropriate level, and cultivate good reading habits. Sessions are held with small groups and modified paces of instruction to meet individual needs and learning styles. Our belief is in the distinctive “custom fit” approach of our reading programme, rather than “one size fits all”. By learning skills and strategies for reading, comprehension, and speaking, children develop their self-esteem and gain confidence, thereby translating to academic success at school.

We Can Read helps disadvantaged children aged 4 to 8 learn phonics, literacy skills, and instil love for reading. Storytelling, crafts, and outings are organised through the KidsREAD clubs to make stories come alive.

Buddy Reading reaches out to selected low-income children who are unable to read at required grade level. The child will be engaged on a one-to-one reading to monitor his or her reading ability.

Lakeside’s Holiday Programme brings underprivileged children and families together for meaningful outings and activities during the school holidays.

Lakeside collaborates with primary schools to conduct programmes to meet the needs of children. Our team of reading specialists help children to enhance their reading abilities and socio-emotional skills.
