as budding readers with an introduction to the letters of the alphabet. They
will then move on and learn how to recognize the two main types of letters:
vowels and consonants. Students will end the first level of this programme by
learning to recognize the sounds of each individual letter in the alphabet!
Level 2 -
Beginner
At Level 2, our beginner readers are
introduced to blends and digraphs. They are taught to recognize blends and
their sounds, where consonants are blended together like where consonants are
blended together like “S” and “t” in the word star. They will also be exposed
to basic blending techniques, a critical technique we use in daily life when
learning to pronounce unfamiliar words by putting individual letters and their
sounds together.
Level 3 -
Fluent
At this intermediate level, it is crucial
for children to feel confident in their own reading abilities, especially when
reading aloud. Teachers will recap and reinforce the blending techniques taught
in the previous level before introducing yet another reading essential, rimes.
To help our young ones read with fluency and clear pronunciation, they will
practice with words that occur most frequently in written texts.
Level 4 -
Proficient
At Level 4, our students will begin
increasing their proficiency in reading by confronting more challenging words.
They will be Introduced to short vowel sounds, ending consonant blends, word
rimes and their sounds. They will also be answering open-ended questions which
are crafted to encourage thoughtful responses and cultivate thinking processes
that parallel their ability to read and speak.
Level 5 -
Champion
At the final level of our Phonics and
Reading programme, our young ones will be transformed into champion readers
with an introduction to long vowel sounds and exposure to words that are higher
on the difficulty level. They will learn the importance of punctuation and
using it to read with proper expression, accuracy and fluency. The skills
learnt at this level help our students build a strong foundation to reading
meaningful text which will serve them in their future academic journey and
