English Thinking

Grammar & Punctuation

Your child is learning the building blocks of writing — how to make complete sentences, use capital letters and punctuation marks correctly, and understand basic word types like nouns and verbs.

Handwriting & Transcription

Your child is mastering the physical skills of writing — learning to form letters and numbers correctly, hold a pencil properly, and develop neat, legible handwriting.

Phonics & Word Reading

Your child is building the foundation for reading — learning how letters and sounds work together, recognizing common words by sight, and developing the skills to sound out new words independently.

Reading Comprehension

Your child is building reading skills — understanding stories by identifying characters and events, asking questions about what they read, and connecting books to their own experiences.

Speaking & Listening

Your child is developing essential communication skills — learning to listen carefully, speak clearly, participate in conversations, and express their thoughts and ideas confidently with others.

Spelling & Word Study

Your child is learning to spell by connecting sounds to letters — building simple words, adding common endings like -ing and -ed, and memorising important words that don't follow regular spelling patterns.

Vocabulary

Your child is building their word knowledge — asking about unknown words, understanding opposites, recognising how word parts give clues to meaning, and using new vocabulary in their own speech and writing.

Writing Composition

Your child is learning to write their own stories and explanations — planning what to say, putting events in order, and sharing their writing with others for feedback.
