NUS Psychology ’23 fresh graduate Tamara Tan co-founds 32 Pages, a ground-up initiative that aims to build children’s emotional resilience through literacy.

Co-founders of 32 Pages, Chloe Ng (NUS Geography ’23) and Tamara Tan (NUS Psychology ’23), have developed a preschool literacy programme Little Readers, Big Dreams to expand access to learning and education in Singapore. The programme supports disadvantaged children’s diverse aspirations by inspiring a love for learning and imparting social and emotional competencies to nurture emotional resilience.

Through multi-sensory phonics lessons and storytelling sessions, 32 Pages aims to make learning fun and accessible, while building learning support communities for preschoolers in rental flat neighbourhoods.
