Programmes are categorized by age group:
The programmes align closely with Singapore's Ministry of Education's (MOE) syllabus, complementing MOE's syllabus in the areas of continuous writing, comprehension and language use, listening comprehension, and oral communications.
With the Individualised Reading Programme which is incorporated in all of Lorna Whiston's English enrichment programmes, teachers will monitor the progress of each student, only promoting them to the next level when they are ready.
In this way, students are able to learn at their own pace, eventually developing a wide vocabulary and mastery of reading.
Locations: United Square
