Narrative/Personal Recount/Discursive/Argumentative—angle, stance, and register
Fencing Method drafting: expand from a strong “core idea” to vivid, logical paragraphs
Advanced techniques: show-don’t-tell, controlling metaphors, logical transitions, varied sentence craft
Line-by-line edits to lift clarity, coherence, and concision (the 3C’s)

Paper 2: Comprehension

Skimming vs scanning; annotation codes; inference ladders
Writer’s craft: diction, figurative language, tone, rhetorical devices
Summary: pruning to essentials; paraphrase accuracy; noun-phrase compaction

Paper 3 (if school adopts Oral/List-Listening components separately) / Oral Communication

Spoken stance, fluency, and interactional competence
Photo prompts → point-evidence-explain, extending to personal/world links
Listening: note-taking frames; question-type heuristics

Language Mastery

High-yield grammar (agreement, modals, conditionals, connectors)
Precision vocabulary: Tier-2/academic lexis and exam-safe idiomatic control
Cohesion devices; paragraph unity; varied syntax without comma-splices

Parents can cross-reference curriculum scope at the MOE English syllabus and the O-Level overview at SEAB.

How we teach (built for Sec 4)

Diagnose → Target → Master: initial script review, rubric mapping, and custom plan
Retrieval & interleaving: short, frequent drills that stick
Model → joint → independent writing: gradual release with live feedback
Exam conditioning: realistic timing, mark-scheme alignment, and resilience under time pressure
Portfolio growth: students keep a curated file of best essays, reflections, and checklists

Lesson Flow (90 minutes)

Warm-up: retrieval grammar or vocab micro-drill
Mini-lesson: high-impact craft (e.g., discursive intros that hook)
Guided practice: paragraph-level improvement with teacher conferencing
Timed task: exam-style question (Paper 1 or Paper 2 focus)
Mark & reflect: coded feedback, error typology, take-home plan

Tracks & Outcomes

A1/A2 Push: sophistication in stance, layered evidence, stylistic polish
Secure B3→A2: discipline in structure, cohesion, error-free grammar
Bridge (C5/C6): strengthen fundamentals, expand vocab, reduce careless errors

Expected wins: clearer thesis & structure, sharper evidence, fewer grammar slips, stronger inference and summary scores, confident oral performance.

Parent FAQs

Q: Can you improve my child’s composition quickly?
A: We target the biggest score-levers first—planning, paragraph unity, and grammar accuracy—then layer style.

Q: My child writes too simply.
A: We teach a safe upgrade path: precise verbs & nouns → controlled modifiers → varied but grammatical syntax.

Q: How do you handle comprehension inference?
A: With an Inference Ladder: quote → paraphrase → imply → evaluate—the habit that converts marks consistently.

Q: Do you align to my child’s school tests?
A: Yes. We sync tasks to school calendars and provide timed rehearsal before key assessments.
