Methodology:
The lessons are taught using a multi-sensory approach. The lessons are interactive and fun. Each lesson is packed with a number of activities, like listening to stories, reading books, playing language games and learning
how to read and write at least 40 English phonograms.
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. Some sight words that occur frequently will be highlighted so that pupils start building up a sight word vocabulary.
The teacher will introduce the students to more complex literature and nursery rhymes.
Course Assessment:
The teacher will monitor the students and observe their progress all the time. The teacher provides feedback to the Project Coordinator after every lesson. At the end of each term (4 weeks), this information will be summarised and given to the parents in the form of a written report. |
