Reading and Writing

1. Strengthen the linkage between reading and writing

Develop school-based teaching materials which integrate the reading text and the writing task. Strategies include genre-based teaching (awareness of different genres), developing vocabulary word banks, introducing pre-writing tasks, and adopting diversified modes of assessments in writing (e.g. peer evaluations and self evaluations).

2. Enriching students' exposure to authentic reading texts

• Adopt readers from Oxford Story Tree and Longman for intensive teaching in English lessons.
• Using the online reading platform called Raz-kids for P. 3 and assign different grades for them, which provide a huge pool of resources for extensive reading.
• Promote buddy reading: English ambassadors will go to the P. 1 and P. 2 classrooms and read story books with the lower primary students.

3. Encouraging creative writing with the aid of E-learning tools

• Encourage students to do free writing in the form of either comic strips or diaries and upload their products to online platform for public sharing.
• Use Google platform to let students do group writing.
