Course Overview

Our EL Fundamental courses start with English Language Starters where students are first introduced to the English alphabet & short vowel sounds, advancing through our Phonics course focused on long vowels & consonant blends, and completing in our Foundations course where students can confidently read & write simple sentences.

Students engage in various learning activities, practice reading / listening / speaking / writing, refine their fine motor skills, and are exposed to social learning through designed interactions with their peers.
