We call this class The ‘Fun’ in Fundamental English! In this ongoing class, students will meet twice a week for a thorough language arts curriculum. This class covers the foundation of the English language and serves up a rudimentary understanding of tenses, punctuation, and other dos and don’ts on a platter of fun worksheets and games. Suitable for children in grade 2, every week we will be covering the following categories: Literature, Foundational Skills, Reading, Grammar and Writing so that students can easily grasp and retain core principles. This class is sure to keep young learners coming back for more. There will be some fun worksheets, discussion, games and lots of visual prompts throughout this interactive class to engage learners! **please read our Absence Policy before enrolment: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iIOnGbdPegwQ7FY_MViN2YmfzSxI0249M1pjprTlcD8/edit?usp=sharing** Topics as follow: Week of Aug 15 LITERATURE Literature: Venn Diagram View Points FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS Wag the Tail LANGUAGE/ GRAMMAR Contractions Letter WRITING Tea with a queen Week of Aug 22 LITERATURE Literature: Balloon Party FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS Same Letter, Alphabetization LANGUAGE/ GRAMMAR Shopping with Complex Consonant WRITING Not Turkey on Thanks Giving Week of Aug 29 READING Reading Evergreen Tress LANGUAGE/ GRAMMAR Choose the correct spelling WRITING Shoe Laces ** New term starts in Sept 2022** Week of Sep 5 LITERATURE Reading Literature: A day at the zoo FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS Long and short "O" sound Week of Sep 12 READING Who, What, Where, When, Why and How: Fossil Hunting LANGUAGE/ GRAMMAR Collective nouns Week of Sep 19 FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS Long or short sounds: Polar Bears WRITING My favourite pet Week of Sep 26 LITERATURE Reading Literature: Boys and Girls FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS Complete the sentence Week of Oct 3 READING Reading Comprehension: Choosing my costume LANGUAGE/ GRAMMAR Irregularly Spelled Words: A trip to the moon Week of Oct 10 FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS Vocabulary: Mans' Best Friend (Domesticated, Herd, Pack) LANGUAGE/ GRAMMAR Irregularly Spelled Words: Plurals Week of Oct 17 FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS Reflexive Pronouns Round-up Using Reflexive Pronouns: The Baker Treasure Hunt: find the secret word Week of Oct 24 READING Freddi's Fishing Day: Short answers LANGUAGE/ GRAMMAR A Brain Workout: Words with -ea Week of Oct 31 LANGUAGE/ GRAMMAR Past Tense verbs: Save the Polar Bears WRITING Past Tense Irregular Verbs: What did you do this summer?

🌟 At Inspire, we have a unique way of teaching languages! Instead of just memorizing vocabulary lists, we make learning fun with games, role-plays, and group discussions. From day one, students gain confidence and fluency.
📚 We focus on teaching language concepts and how to use them, rather than just memorization. Our classes are interactive, encouraging students to participate actively. Our approach combines Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and Game-Based Learning (GBL), which ensures that students are engaged and eager to learn.
🎓 Most importantly, we believe learning should be enjoyable! We aim to break away from boring education routines and help students become independent learners. Learning, to us, is an exciting journey that lasts a lifetime.
Our lesson material is prepared by certified French teachers and according to DELF guidelines.
