Junior Level 1
Foundations: Early Literacy Development
(For ages 3-4 / Learning Duration: 45 mins per session)
The Junior Level 1 programme gives your child a headstart by developing his/her English language skills to strengthen and expand early literacy fundamentals.
Phonemic Awareness
What is it?
The ability to identify, access, and distinguish sounds within words. In our Junior Level 1 programme, we place emphasis on initial sounds.
Why is it Important?
Phonemic awareness is a strong predictor of reading success. In our Junior Level 1 programme, LCentral's educators give explicit instruction in phonemic awareness to help your child fast track the reading process. This gives him/her an edge over his/her peers. Children with strong phonemic awareness develop into better and faster readers.
The LCentral Edge
Classroom Resources
LCentral's educators use extensive classroom resources to deliver the Junior Level 1 programme. Alongside essential pre-reading skills, our students develop vocabulary, comprehension, and writing skills.
WorkBooks
Junior Level 1 programme WorkBooks are designed as a supplementary tool to encourage independent and own-time learning while reinforcing concepts taught in our classes.
Progress Tracking
Each student's progress is systematically monitored and recorded on a weekly basis to ensure that he/she is on track to achieving individual learning goals.
Oral Communication
(Listening and Speaking Skills)
What is it?
The ability to understand (listening) and use (speaking) a range of words and sentence structures to facilitate meaningful communication.
Why is it Important?
Children who begin school with a broad vocabulary are more likely to learn additional words quickly, compared to their peers with limited vocabulary. Building vocabulary accelerates your child's comprehension and communication skills, preparing him/her for academic excellence even before commencing formal education.
