Our lower primary weekly lessons follow a systematic and fun approach in teaching the fundamentals of grammar such as word order and sentence construction. Students will also learn the various aspects of grammar such as conjunctions, adjective, adverbs and prepositions, and how to employ them effectively in their writing. Additionally, students will also learn the ropes of reading skills through identifying the main features of a text, locating contextual clues as well as understanding the expectations of comprehension requirements. Guided by our mission to nurture our students to be world-ready, all our lesson units are inspired by a key domain of social and emotional skills (SEL). We believe that language learning should be enriching and relevant to the real world.

Our Primary 3 and 4 weekly lessons aim to introduce and hone reading comprehension skills through an exposure to a variety of text types such as narratives, non-fictional passages and songs. Students will be taught fundamental reading skills such as question analysis, text-processing as well as inferential skills. Additionally, they will also learn to plan and construct narratives according to a story arc and vary their sentence structures with a sound use of grammatical devices. Guided by our mission to nurture our students to be world-ready, all our lesson units are inspired by a key domain of social and emotional skills (SEL).
