In the Read+ Lower Primary programme, our students will continue to strengthen their English proficiency. Similar to the Foundation level, it adopts a four-pronged approach towards language acquisition and fluency in our students.
To begin, we aim to amplify our students’ love for reading by immersing them in more challenging chapter books of various genres. These selected chapter books will assist students in engaging with intermediate English language components and skills. Honing grammatical rules, elevating vocabulary knowledge and cultivating a critical appreciation of comprehension forms the backbone of the Read+ Lower Primary programme. Every lesson will devote time for students to delve into thoughtful analysis of the linguistic and literary elements found in the chosen chapter book.
Throughout the term, our students will experience in-depth weekly lessons dedicated to three pillars of the English language – Grammar, Vocabulary and Comprehension. Our Grammar lessons will see students perfecting their understanding of how sentences are constructed and presented. Vocabulary lessons will serve as an extension of the Grammar component, ensuring that students have their language capacity stretched to express themselves appropriately through writing and speech. Finally, Comprehension lessons will have students analyse fiction and non-fiction texts as a means to enhance their inference skills and achieve higher levels of understanding.
