Language and Literacy

Through conversations, speech activities and discussions, our children develop confidence and clarity in expressing themselves. Children develop literacy skills through a variety of phonemic and phonics-based activities to build strong reading and writing fluency.

Reading

Beginning in Nursery 2, the children are introduced to our core reading scheme, the Oxford Reading Tree from the United Kingdom. Oxford Reading Tree is a well-established and popular reading scheme which has proven to be highly successful in developing children’s literacy skills. This scheme makes literacy fun as it has stories that children want to read. They readily identify with the family characters and story lines. Activities are designed to link the stories to specific skills such as the ability to read with understanding, predict, retell, sequence events and extend story ideas. To further enhance reading opportunities, the children borrow a wide range of children’s literature daily to share at home.

Creative Writing

Creative Writing allows children from Nursery 2 to Kindergarten 2 to express their thoughts, feelings and ideas in an imaginative manner. Each term, our children work on a range of activities with a different focus to develop their understanding of story structures and to encourage them to write their own stories. Throughout the year, they explore narrative elements such as plot structure, character, setting, conflict and resolution.
