Extensive Reading Programme

Extensive Reading Programme is an initiative where students participate in a paired reading activity. The programme aims at improving their reading proficiency. It also promotes a higher interest and engagement in reading. The programme takes place on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons for an hour. Opportunities are created for students to learn and recognise high frequency words. They read and repeat the words orally until fluency is achieved. Students also use iPads to access a safe and children-friendly digital reading platform. They explore, listen to and read online books that have appropriate content.
