Cambridge English

Our learners are provided with the Cambridge literacy programme that is designed to enable strategic and comprehensive approaches to early literacy achievement. Reading is developed by means of the Time2Read reading programme which has a strong emphasis on Phonics and uses the Time2Read reader series, as well as endorsed readers by Cambridge. A strong phonics-based reading programme lays the foundation for excellent spelling, writing and comprehension skills. The components are speaking and listening, reading, phonics, spelling and vocabulary, writing and hand writing.
