Key Features of Our Secondary School Enrichment Programmes


Integrated Approach

While most preschools focus solely on phonics, teaching words in isolation, LiteracyPlus takes an integrated approach to building reading fluency. We combine phonics with sight word recognition, and teach words in the context of sentences, paragraphs, verse and storybooks.

Award-winning Picture Books

Our programmes feature award-winning storybooks accompanied by a variety of fun and engaging activities to foster a love for books and reading. Through reading aloud, shared reading and independent reading, pupils are given ample practice to improve reading confidence.

Prepare Your Child For Primary School

To ease the transition to Primary 1, we develop Oral Communication skills through speech and drama activities such as choral reading, poetry recitation and readers’ theatre. In Kindergarten 2, pupils are taken through basic Comprehension exercises and simple Writing tasks.

Lessons Based on Current Affairs and Real-world Knowledge




COVID-19 pandemic? Hong Kong protests? Our lessons cover them all. We constantly update our materials to keep them current and to expose your teenager to myriad real-world issues. English in Secondary School goes beyond language learning. It is meant to be a window to the world and we seize every opportunity to teach your teenager critical thinking skills to process the events in today's society.

Skill-based Approach With a Focus on Vocabulary Expansion




Skills to tackle comprehension, writing, editing, visual text and oral are all explicitly taught at LiteracyPlus. For instance, students will learn about various suffixes (word endings) to help them with editing. Vocabulary acquisition is key in the teenage years, so we provide your teenager with strategies to help them master words that frequently occur in comprehension, writing and oral.

Technology-enhanced Learning




Your teenager navigates the digital world with ease. Our curriculum is designed to engage them digitally, using games on various platforms to encourage over-learning. Whether it is a memory game or copyediting quiz, your teenager will look forward to learning English with us!

Key Components of Our English Enrichment for Secondary Level


Writing

Your teenager will learn strategies to help them write expository, discursive, argumentative, and mixed genre essays. With our methodical approach to writing, your teenager will learn the features and structure of various essay types. Tips to enhance language, such as the Rule of Three and sentence variety, will be introduced too. To encourage your teenager to reflect on real-world issues, we are extremely particular about the themes we choose for continuous and situational writing.

Comprehension

Summary is a major component that many teenagers struggle with. We arm your teenager with strategies to identify points, rephrase and shorten the points and reorganise their summary in a coherent manner. Question types such as language use questions and answer-in-your-own-words questions are taught explicitly, alongside techniques to answer various types of questions.

Editing

Your teenager can look forward to bite-sized lessons focusing on specific grammar concepts. As the conversion between word forms is often tested in editing, suffixes (word endings such as -ment, -ous) will be introduced systematically. Again, we do not believe in doing boring editing passages as practice. We select current topics that make them question and keep them on their feet—think the recent PMD ban in Singapore and the SCDF ragging incident.

Oral

To enhance your teenager's oral skills, we create plenty of opportunities to discuss intriguing, relevant topics. With the wide variety of themes and topics within our curriculum, your teenager will gain vocabulary, knowledge and critical thinking skills to articulate his or her opinion with ease.

Visual Text

Expect to see familiar-looking visual texts. Visual Texts are everywhere in our lives and we believe that students will find this component meaningful if they can relate it to actual events, advertisements and posters. We teach your teenager strategies to analyse the text and tips on crafting responses.
