Punggol Primary 2 English Tuition | Strengthen Early Foundations with eduKate
Why Primary 2 English Is Crucial
Primary 2 builds on the basics from Primary 1 and sets the stage for independent reading, writing, and speaking. According to the MOE Primary English Language Syllabus, students at this stage should:
- Read simple passages fluently and accurately.
- Write short compositions of 100–120 words with clear sentences.
- Use basic grammar and vocabulary correctly in context.
- Express themselves confidently in oral activities and listen with understanding.
If weaknesses in grammar, reading, or vocabulary remain unaddressed in P2, these will carry forward into P3, where demands rise sharply.
At eduKate Punggol, our Primary 2 English Tuition (3 students per class) builds strong foundations early, ensuring your child gains confidence in reading, writing, and speaking before moving up.
