STELLAR & Language Learning
• Teaching and learning of English using more speaking and listening activities
• Children learn reading and writing using rich and interesting books, with discussions led by the teacher.

STELLAR needs Parents’ Support
• Home support – help your child learn English by providing English language reading materials at home.
• Activate child’s interest – show your child that you believe learning English is both enjoyable and useful in your daily life.

STELLAR needs Parents’ Support
• Role models – read and write notes and messages in front of your child.
• Understanding – English language learning requires frequent exposure to listening, speaking, reading and writing opportunities and activities rather than use of worksheets alone.
