Chinese
Develop high-level reading ability In the Chinese Programme, we aim to cultivate high-level reading ability within all students. Through improving students’ reading comprehension skills to a high level, students acquire the necessary mind-set to read passages critically. By focusing on developing reading ability through exposure to a wide range of books, students acquire greater interest in reading which facilitates learning advanced materials independence and confidence.
Features of Chinese Programme
The Chinese Programme begins by enriching students’ vocabulary and developing basic reading skills. Students move on to learn about sentence structure, paragraph building, and summarisation. They develop their reading comprehension skills through the Kumon Method of summarisation. This embodies the natural process through which students read a passage and rearrange each sentence in their own minds.
