Reading Development

This course contains a range of graded activities that covers the core content of the Singaporean MOE English Language Primary Curriculum (2010), building towards the new format PSLE (2015). By using a variety of themes, language and skills can be recycled and built on throughout the year, increasing our students’ ability to succeed in both local examinations and effectively engage with the wider community.
