Curriculum

In preparation for the PSLE, your child will be taught comprehension question types as well as strategies for each question type. To help your child spot and correct common errors in comprehension answers, we let your child switch roles and be the “teacher”. This helps them understand the types of errors typically made so they would be better positioned to avoid them.

In Primary 6, positive themes are increasingly common. Our curriculum shifts the focus towards dealing with these challenging themes (many students find it hard to think of ideas for Conflict for positive themes). While we continue to teach critical writing skills, we are aware that most P6 students are likely already familiar with the basic mechanics of language. We believe that editing is a crucial skill that they have to learn at this age, be it editing for language or content.

At this age, a sound knowledge of grammar is critical. Questions are getting more challenging now, so we have set aside lessons catered to these tricky questions.

We use morphology (the basic meaning parts of language) to help your child ace Synthesis & Transformation. Grammar concepts taught are linked to S&T so that your child gets extra practice for each concept. Technology and games continue to be used in a meaningful way to further reinforce the concepts taught.

Cloze passages are taught using our in-house C.R.I.S.P. strategy, with explicit teaching of skills such as collocations and phrasal verbs.
