The lessons are taught using a multi-sensory approach and logical thinking skills approach. The lessons are interactive and fun. Each lesson is packed with a number of activities, like chanting, story time, phonemic awareness, learning with letter blocks, colouring, puppetry, reading, speaking and playing Phonics games.
Students will be introduced to books during interactive story time when the teacher will read selected stories and get the pupils to respond by asking questions or talking about what they have heard.
