Primary 1 and Primary 2 English Lessons Singapore

Our Level Zero B is for beginner students who already possess a working understanding of English. It is designed to strengthen their core language competencies across fundamental aspects. These include grammar, vocabulary, reading with clear understanding, writing at an increasingly formalised level, and speaking purposefully. The learning approach towards L0 centres around the belief that active participation breeds true learning. Our curriculum therefore aims to be dynamic, interactive, and evaluative.
