01

The child reads too.

Reading Hour is not only an adult reading to a child. We take turns page by page, so the child reads aloud, practises pronunciation, checks unfamiliar words and talks about the story in English.

02

Why a home visit?

Reading Hours usually take place at the child’s home in Tokyo, removing the trip to a classroom and making it easy to use familiar books. We ask for the nearest station and confirm each location individually.

03

A genuine English-speaking hour.

The reader is a British English speaker and may not speak Japanese. Pictures, gestures and simple language support beginners at a slower pace, while creating a real reason to communicate in English.

04

Where in Tokyo?

Home visits are available across all 23 Tokyo wards. Share your preferred time and nearest station so we can confirm the practical visit details.
