"If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."

This is the reason why most students experience a huge dip in performance in Primary 5 English.

This is especially glaring in Composition Writing, because there is a distinct change in the Writing Format, that requires students to include more details, clearer descriptions and more vivid plot developments.

Many parents panic after lackluster results in the school exams, but this stress can be easily avoided if your child is prepared for what is to come.

This is the objective behind our P5 Headstart Program

=> To Familiarize your child with the skills and strategies to write elevated Compositions required at P5, during this December Holiday.

Three Distinct Process to Write Solid Compositions

Question Analysis + Story Planning: When picking up any composition question, we teach your child to analyze what the question is asking for. From identifying the theme to extracting information from the pictures, answering the guiding questions and planning the story, your child will learn to approach composition with rigor and gusto.

Content Strategies: An engaging story is propped up by various elements throughout the composition. Starting with Introduction, we take your child through the various segments and highlight the critical bits of every segment. This ensures a baseline score for content that translates into consistent performance!

Language Techniques: To leave a lasting impression, your child needs to use the most suitable words and phrases, based on the context of the question. Through techniques like "show-not-tell", "literary devices", etc, we equip your child with the tools to write vivid descriptions that hook the reader from start to the end.
