Lower Primary: 7-9 years
Our English Enrichment programme for Primary 1 to 3 focus on developing oral language skills, vocabulary, grammar, comprehension and composition. The teachers help your child to build his/her own vocabulary and develop proficient reading and writing skills.
Children are taught these skills through a wide variety of engaging themes. Our weekly lessons alternate between a focus on composition writing and comprehension. Other skills are integrated throughout the lesson. A formal oral language activity (show and tell/ stimulus based conversation) and listening comprehension will be undertaken at the beginning of every term.
