Years 2-3 English Reading and Writing

Preliminary note

In ALL courses students receive WEEKLY HOMEWORK that is marked in detail and returned promptly to enable them to understand their strengths as well as areas in need of improvement. This is a vital aspect of their progress.

It is important for students to expand their personal vocabulary in order to enrich the range of their expression both written and oral, therefore vocabulary extension and testing continues throughout the year in all classes.

Course Content

Students read and analyse different text types learning how to identify the resources of language and style employed by writers to achieve different purposes.
In the process students develop a range of English skills including reading comprehension, writing skills, vocabulary, grammar, and oral skills.
WRITING SKILLS WILL BE DEVELOPED IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS:

Creative writing particularly narratives
Imaginative recreations
Persuasive writing
Speeches
News articles
Journals/diary
Interview
Formal responses both short and long in relation to texts studied

These skills are developed through the close analysis and understanding of language and literary techniques used by writers in various texts.

Through our carefully selected textual material and closely guided reading, students gain insight into the structures and styles of literary and non-literary texts such as novels, short stories, poetry, drama, speeches, news articles, interviews, biographies as well as a range of other reading materials.

During the year students will study one complete novel along with other texts indicated above previously. Texts are selected for their enduring appeal to younger readers as well as their potential to enrich students’ English skills in areas such as writing, comprehension, vocabulary, grammar and structure. Furthermore, the texts promote understanding of important issues and values in our society.
