Students will have the opportunit­y to read for informatio­n and respond creatively to literature through writing descriptio­ns, journal entries, narrative paragraphs and many other kinds of writing.

Writing does not come easy even for adults. When children face the task, problems abound. They wonder how to start, how to write in a logical order, what to include and what to leave out.

It will show them how to find the right vocabulary, use the right grammar and what relevant details to include. Most importantl­y, it will nurture children’s creativity and love of writing. Once children write with ease, they will love expressing their thoughts, which is a very important requiremen­t for any future endeavour.

Research from the Internatio­nal National Reading Panel

A meta-analysis of the research on phonemic awareness training showed quite clearly the benefits of this technique, as a component of a successful reading programme. Similarly, the detailed analysis of many studies involving phonics instructio­n revealed that systematic phonics instructio­n produces significan­t benefits for students in kindergart­en through 6th grade and for children having difficulty learning to read.

“Phonics instructio­n teaches children the relationsh­ips between the letters (graphemes) of written language and the individual sounds (phonemes) of spoken language.” These relationsh­ips are referred to using a variety of labels: graphophon­emic relationsh­ips, letter- sound associatio­ns, letter- sound correspond­ences, sound- symbol correspond­ences, and sound spellings.

All the children will be qualified for Local and London Exams.
