“I’ve seen improvement in my girl’s pronunciation. Besides that, she is able to read simple words. Ean See enjoys the class very much and doesn’t want to miss any lessons. The teacher is very patient and loving to the kids. Thank you!”

I am glad I enrolled my girl in My English School instead of in another reading school. Here my girl learnt systematic decoding using phonics. She can even read long and difficult words by herself. I am also very happy that she is learning spelling using phonics instead of memorising words. Now, she is also learning grammar and comprehension, which will prepare her to enter Primary 1 smoothly. Thank you very much to the My English School teachers who have helped her develop her reading skills.

Components of our phonics class and Reading Programme

My First English Class

Classes of no more than six students are introduced to phonics, intonation, rhythm, pronunciation, and articulation through songs and rhymes. They learn how to confidently address a group aloud. Students build stronger vocabularies using pictures of animals, objects and people.

My English Foundation Class

Students gain the basic skills needed to progress to a complete phonics programme while building expressive, listening and social skills along with phonemic awareness.

My Reading Readiness Class

Students gain the advanced phonics manipulation skills needed to progress to the reading class while building oral fluency, listening and comprehension skills.

My Reading Class

Students progress steadily through a series of lessons that give them the ability to decode the printed letters that make up any written word in English, whether or not they have ever seen the word before, independent of meaning or context.
