Little explorers aged 3 to 4
Your child meets letters and numbers through play and real objects. Small hands practice lines and patterns at their own pace, building the finger strength that writing will need later, with zero pressure.

Reading Writing and Counting Palu: From Strokes to Sentences
Your child's hands learn to hold a pencil, trace steady lines, and grow into writing whole sentences, while reading and counting develop right alongside, guided one small step at a time.
Children in Palu are guided by 1,000+ handpicked Lilo teachers
Understanding Reading, Writing and Counting
Reading, Writing and Counting in Palu is Lilo's guided program that teaches the three core school skills together as one journey for children aged 3 to 8, with English as the language of instruction. Writing starts with the hand itself: tracing lines and patterns, then letters, then words, then full sentences, while reading and counting grow beside it through four clear levels.
The three skills are taught together and strengthen each other
Four measured levels covering ages 3 to 8
Real objects come before pictures and symbols
Writing builds from lines and patterns all the way to sentences
Who This Program Is For
Every child arrives at a different point. A placement assessment at the start tells us exactly where your child stands, so lessons begin at the level that fits.
Kindergarteners aged 4 to 6
Your child blends syllables, counts with confidence, and writes letters and numbers on paper. Each session prepares them steadily for primary school, so the first day of big school feels familiar instead of frightening.
Early primary students aged 6 to 8
Your child reads with understanding, handles addition and subtraction, and writes tidy words and sentences. Lessons strengthen all three skills together so schoolwork feels manageable and confidence keeps growing.
Children catching up with classmates
If your child feels behind at school, we start at the level where they are truly solid and rebuild from there. Steady wins at the right level bring back the joy of learning.
Four Clear Levels, One Steady Climb
A leveled curriculum. Your child moves up only after mastering each stage, so the foundation stays solid.
Introduction Level
3-4 years- Knowing letters A-Z through play
- Meeting numbers 1-10
- Early writing motor skills with lines and patterns
Foundation Level
4-5 years- Blending syllables into first words
- Counting from 1 to 20
- Writing letters and numbers with growing control
Intermediate Level
5-6 years- Reading simple sentences
- Addition and subtraction with understanding
- Writing whole words neatly
Advanced Level
6-8 years- Fluent reading with comprehension
- Further counting skills
- Fully ready and confident for primary school
How Your Child Learns With Lilo
Our method follows how young children naturally understand the world: touch first, see next, then symbols. Every step is small, clear, and mastered before the next one begins.
A friendly placement assessment
Before lessons begin, the tutor sits with your child to find out what they already know about letters, numbers, and pencil control. Your child starts exactly where they are, never too easy and never overwhelming.
Real objects, then pictures, then symbols
Your child holds beads, blocks, and cards before meeting written numbers and letters, the Singapore Math way. Ideas take root in the hands first, so symbols on paper carry real meaning.
Reading through letter sounds
Your child learns the sound each letter makes and blends those sounds into syllables and words. Reading becomes something your child figures out independently, instead of a list of names to memorize.
Small portions, mastered fully
Practice comes in short, friendly portions in the spirit of Kumon. Your child moves up a level only after truly mastering the current one, so every new page feels achievable.
Built on a Real Curriculum, Taught the Understanding Way
Lilo teaches from its own original curriculum of 122 leveled modules, so every lesson your child receives in Palu follows a tested, measured path.
Start with Real Objects First
Beads, blocks, and everyday things come before any symbol on paper. When your child finally writes the number 5, they already know exactly what five of something feels like in their hands.
Reading Through Letter Sounds
Your child learns what each letter sounds like and blends sounds into words. This gives them a key that opens every new word, including words nobody has taught them yet.
Word Problems Through Bar Models
Story problems get drawn as simple bars, the Singapore way. Your child sees the problem before solving it, which trains real reasoning instead of guesswork.
Friendly Regular Practice
Short, steady practice in the spirit of Kumon keeps skills warm without exhausting your child. A little every session, mastered fully, beats a mountain of drills done in tears.

Common Mistakes We Help Families Avoid
Many children arrive at Lilo after well-meaning approaches that backfired. These are the patterns we see most often, and how we set them right.
Forcing writing before the hand is ready
Why it happensWriting needs finger strength and control that develop gradually. Pushing letters onto a hand that can barely steer a pencil turns every session into frustration and tears.
How Lilo helpsWe begin with lines, patterns, and motor play that build strength first. Letters arrive when the hand can manage them, and writing stays something your child likes doing.
Memorizing before understanding
Why it happensA child can chant answers today and forget them next month, because nothing was ever truly understood. Learning built on memory alone fades fast and sours the mood toward study.
How Lilo helpsEvery concept starts with real objects your child can hold. Understanding comes first, and what is understood stays.
Jumping straight to number symbols
Why it happensWhen a child recites 1 to 10 without ever handling one, two, or three real things, counting stays an empty song, far from a skill they can use.
How Lilo helpsBeads, blocks, and everyday objects come before written numbers, so each symbol your child meets already means something real.
Cramming just before primary school entry
Why it happensSqueezing years of foundation into a few rushed months puts heavy pressure on a small child and produces shaky skills that wobble in the first school term.
How Lilo helpsWe build gradually across four levels, in small mastered steps. Starting earlier and going gently beats starting late and going hard.
Teaching the three skills separately
Why it happensWhen reading, writing, and counting live in separate boxes with no bridges, one skill races ahead while another falls behind, and progress ends up lopsided.
How Lilo helpsOur sessions weave the three together: your child writes what they read and reasons about what they count, so all three grow in step.

Parent Experiences
5.0
Latifah really looks forward to her lessons, she says they are fun. She is starting to understand addition using things around the house, like counting spoons while helping set the table.
Aisyah loves counting our groceries when she comes along to the shop. Her reading is starting to flow too, she sounds out the names of items on the shelves one by one.
Questions Parents Ask Us
At what age should my child start?
Children can begin at age 3 with the Introduction Level, where letters and numbers arrive through play and small hands practice lines and patterns. The program serves ages 3 to 8, and the placement assessment makes sure your child starts at the level that truly fits, whatever their age.
Is this an English course?
It is a reading, writing and counting program that uses English as the language of instruction. Your child learns to read, write, and count, and along the way grows comfortable learning in English. Bilingual instruction in Indonesian and English is available, which suits many national-plus and bilingual families.
Which areas of Palu do tutors visit?
Our tutors teach at homes across the city, including Palu Selatan, Palu Utara, Tatanga, and Ulujadi. Tell us where you live during the free WhatsApp consultation and we will match your child with a tutor who can reach you comfortably.
Should we choose in-person or online lessons?
Both follow the same curriculum. In-person sessions at your home run 60 minutes and let the tutor guide your child's pencil grip directly, which helps younger children most. Online sessions run 60 minutes and work well for children who can already sit and focus at a screen.
How do you know which level my child belongs in?
Every child starts with a friendly placement assessment. The tutor observes what your child already knows about letters, sounds, numbers, and pencil control, then places them at the level where they are solid. Your child moves up only after mastering each stage, so gaps never get skipped over.
What if my child dislikes writing?
Very often the dislike comes from being asked to write before the hand muscles were ready. We step back to lines, patterns, and playful motor exercises until control comes naturally. Once writing stops feeling like a struggle, most children begin to enjoy it.
How much does the program cost?
The fee depends on the service you pick, in-person at home, group class, or online, and how often your child learns. Message us on WhatsApp for a free consultation and we will walk you through the options clearly, with no obligation to enroll.
What the Material Looks Like
These sheets come straight from Lilo's original modules. Reading, writing, and counting are trained side by side, step by step at your child's level.
Addition Within 10
On this sheet, Intermediate Level children practice addition with two helpers: the ten-frame and the number line. They see the picture first and count afterward, so addition feels real and concrete.
Reading Short Sentences
This Intermediate Level sheet from the reading module holds short sentences about food, read from start to finish. All the earlier sound and syllable practice comes together here as the child's first meaningful reading.
Writing Numbers 0 to 9
A real writing-module page: your child matches numbers to quantities and writes them neatly along guided paths.
Every sheet above is part of Lilo's own progressive curriculum, a complete set of 122 modules.
