Readers, writers and confident speakers
From phonics to persuasive essays, Sarah and the English team grow the skills behind every subject: reading closely, writing clearly, thinking sharply.
What the program covers
Reading and writing improve together. Every term pairs great texts with real writing — so new vocabulary gets used, not just memorised.
- Reading fluency and comprehension, one short story at a time
- Grammar and vocabulary taught inside real writing
- Essays, stories and reports with line-by-line feedback
- Speaking and presentation practice for class confidence
How English sessions run
- 60-minute sessions built around one text and one writing task
- Personal reading list matched to level and interests
- Writing portfolio that grows term by term
- Monthly report with reading level, writing samples and goals
