ReadingOwl offers English for children ages 2–11, with special emphasis on ages 2–5. During classes we communicate with children only in English: we do not use Romanian or Hungarian for translation or explanations, building understanding through context, gestures, real objects, play, movement and interaction.
At an early age, English develops through immersion and repeated experiences. Classes are conducted only in English, without Romanian or Hungarian translation; children discover meaning through context, gestures, real objects, play, movement, stories and interaction. We work in age-appropriate groups with different goals for ages 2–3 and 4–5.
For a 2 or 3 year old, the goal is not memorising vocabulary lists. Children hear and use English in an environment without Romanian or Hungarian translation, discovering meaning through gestures, real objects, songs, movement, games and repeated routines. We focus on understanding simple instructions, natural responses, confidence and enjoyment of participation.
See the program for ages 2–3At ages 4 and 5 we keep the English-only environment and expand vocabulary and sentences through role play, stories, practical activities and short conversations. Children connect what they hear with real situations, respond more independently and gradually develop pronunciation, comprehension and expression. Jolly Phonics is introduced where appropriate as a tool within this immersion experience.
See the program for ages 4–5ReadingOwl does not stop at age 5. We continue with groups for children ages 6–11, with goals adapted to their age and level.

ReadingOwl, was founded in Targu Mures, Romania by Szabo Emoke inspired by the personal
desire to bring an ever growing value and productive learning
techniques for the children for the best results ever possible!
With the desire to do a good job she managed to build a strong
household name adopting skills from personal experience and ever
evolving learning curve !
What you see is what she built !
We are not a franchise and no investors business !
We use what we earn to invest in the development of new
materials and our own skills !
We do not hunt for large client bases and we let our own reputation speak for itself !
We invest a lot of time and effort to create various and diverse materials for every single class
As an extra effort we create our own materials by hand and combine them with ready to go educational games tools, toys and materials for every single class !
Integration is key , so respect our community and we keep in touch with local professionals within the education and parrenting sphere to better understand most current needs based on children development in an effort to try and minimize the gap between generations! Children learn valuable skills while gathering in our small social community !
We have acquired and imported a large base of amazing educational materials and tools from all over the world based on the research and study of various other cultures !
Speaking, by itself, is an interaction, so, we promote the idea of learning while interacting with others by ensuring a minimum of four children in a group
It is also very important and more interesting to be able to touch smell and feel the objects around them while learning how to use them in a new language
Being in a group and learning seamlessly develops abilities beyond the childrens comfort zone and a fast adaptation to new environments and cultures
We keep and promote an open mind at all times to be able to observe and bring in new ideas from a different perspective
Jolly Learning was founded in 1987 and started selling the first of the Jolly Phonics products five years later. It uses the synthetic phonics method of teaching the letter sounds in a way that is fun and multi-sensory, enabling children to become fluent readers.
Jolly Vision: To be a world leader in creating quality educational programmes that accelerate learning so all children achieve their potential for a brighter future. More about Jolly Phonics founder
A special effort is put into researching of materials , methods, tools and various teaching cultures. We do our research well and find the best and most compatible ways that suits our methods and best practice
We combine experience in parenting, childcare and nursing with more than ten years of teaching English and continuous research, creating a carefully refined methodology suitable even for very young children ages 2, 3, 4 and 5
Implementation is a work of art and we produly distinguish ourselves by being able to add something new every time to our classes and methods. We create our own materials by hand and combine them with ready to go educational tools and materials
Attending courses, webinars, seminars and networking is a key aspect of the teaching profession and we never stop finding and adding new certifications and qualifications to our profile and resume
Every encounter with a new issue, problem, complaint or a simple discussion is going to be translated into a new experience for us that adds new ideas and plans for our curriculum. We pride ourselves with being able to network within our community and connect with businessmen to share, help or discuss new ideas
We do not treat the class like a school lesson. At this age children listen, imitate, move, play and begin associating English with concrete, enjoyable experiences.
We focus on understanding, natural responses, basic vocabulary and participation. Progress is built through repetition and context rather than tests or forced memorisation.
Children can stay with longer activities and use more active language. We introduce more stories, role play, questions and answers, creative activities and, where appropriate, elements of Jolly Phonics.
Classes are held in person in Târgu Mureș at 24 Borsos Tamás Street. Groups are organised by age and level, and enrolment can begin with a demonstration lesson.
Registration for the 2026–2027 school year is open. Join us for a demonstration lesson, discover the ReadingOwl method and choose the group that fits your child’s age and level.
