P3/4 English
A focused 3-hour weekly class that builds the grammar, writing and comprehension foundations Lower Primary pupils need — and sets them up for the PSLE components they will meet in P5/6. Taught only by passionate MOE-trained teachers or subject-matter experts who have a deep passion in inculcating knowledge and wisdom to the students.

How P3/4 flows into P5/6
Nothing is taught in isolation. Every skill built in Primary 3 and 4 is the direct foundation for a PSLE component in Primary 5 and 6 — so pupils moving up continue the same method rather than starting again.
The foundation we build
- Accurate tenses, subject-verb agreement and sentence structure
- A working vocabulary bank organised by theme
- Confident paragraphing and clear story shape
- Literal comprehension — finding and sequencing information
- Reading aloud with correct pronunciation and pacing
How it carries forward
- Grammar accuracy becomes the basis for editing and synthesis tasks
- Picture composition grows into free continuous writing with PAC
- Descriptive vocabulary deepens into show-not-tell technique
- Literal comprehension extends into inference and evidence selection
- Oral fluency develops into stimulus-based critical response
What is added at PSLE level
- Synthesis and transformation of sentences
- Situational writing: articles, reports and emails with PAC
- Open-ended comprehension with inference and paraphrasing
- Visual text analysis — purpose, audience and persuasive devices
- Storybanking of common PSLE themes and model compositions
- Full-paper timing and exam strategy
