How Our English Tuition for Primary 1
Supports Your Child
The move from Kindergarten to Primary 1 brings new reading, spelling and writing routines. Our English tuition for Primary 1 starts with what makes a sentence, then builds towards a paragraph and a short story. This lower primary English tuition programme revisits grammar and vocabulary, giving children practice in using words to express their ideas. This course is part of our Primary English programme, covering P1–P6.

Six Guided Compositions, One Writing Skill at a Time
After building sentences and paragraphs, children practise a focused skill in each composition. They learn how to open and end a story, vary sentences and bring their ideas together.
An Act of Kindness
Write an introduction using setting and weather.
Broken Vase
Bring a story to a close with a conclusion.
Keeping a Pet
Practise punctuation in speech.
A Blackout
Try different ways to start a sentence.
Competition

Getting Lost
Put a three-paragraph story together, from start to finish.
Teachers introduce the writing skill, use a Good Phrases Toolbox and guide planning before pupils write. Model compositions show how the skill works in context, and marked compositions are returned the following week.
