This programme focuses on developing key reading, writing and speaking aptitudes. These skills are essential for your child as he or she prepares for Primary 1.

Writing
Students develop their writing skills through short composition exercises, where they learn how to apply basic writing techniques such as 5Ws 1H and five-senses description. Students also exercise their creativity and articulate their personal thoughts in different text types such as postcards and diary entries.

Reading
Students further build on their reading foundation through a structured incentivised reading programme. Students will also learn to recognise and spell high frequency words and thematic vocabulary words.

Comprehension, Listening and Speaking
Students hone their comprehension, listening and speaking skills through:
• interactive storytelling sessions
• responses to direct and opinion-based comprehension questions corresponding to texts of different genres (stories, poems, factual texts) and video clips
• short verbal presentations and poetry recitals

Vocabulary and Grammar
Students build on their vocabulary foundation with weekly spelling and dictation tests and thematic vocabulary. Students are also introduced to basic grammar rules, including:
• simple past tense and present tense
• singular and plural nouns
• verbs and adjectives
• prepositions

Contextualised Learning
Students engage in a series of interactive activities designed to help reinforce key concepts learnt in class.

Students are also exposed to a wide range of themes that allow students to explore the different parts of the world. Key topics of interest include:
