Programme Benefits

Thinking & Reasoning

The Learning Board’s Primary 5 English programme equips students with critical thinking and reasoning skills. The course focuses on honing the academic goals and examination readiness. Through active time management practiced consistently in our classes, your child is able to pace through the exam paper effectively. Students get involved in open conversations on expository and persuasive topics where character development, scene setting and story telling techniques are taught.

Skill Mastery

We craft each lesson differently to suit the learning capability of your child. This helps them to master necessary skills such as knowledge acquisition and analysis, vocabulary builders, comprehension cloze and open ended, composition and discursive skills. Students at The Learning Board are articulated and fully equipped with real-world skills which will bring them to attain greater heights.

Fluent Speaker

​With the love of language instilled in the students, The Learning Board further incorporates current affairs and real-world situations into the course where the discussion is facilitated and moderated by the educator. This enhances the child’s aural and verbal presentation ability and establishes a firm foundation of a fluent speaker.
