Approach
- About 40% of the lesson time is allocated for the development of the students' reading skills and strategies.
- Authentic readers with a variety of text types are used in the lessons for boosting students' interests and reading skills.
- Primary Literacy Programme-Reading Programme (PLPR) is implemented in Key stage 1 to enhance reading strategies.
- Project-based learning and enhancement on reading strategies are the focus in Key stage 2.
Strategies
- Two Native English Teachers ( NETs ) and 2 Chatteris Native-speaking English Teachers (CNETs ) are allocated to support the weekly Reading Workshops through co-planning and co-teaching with Local English Teachers ( LETs ).
- Split group activity time (with ability-level groupings) is arranged by four teachers within the two scheduled lessons to help promote small group learning and catering for learner diversity. Frequent in-lesson assessments are conducted during this time to assess students' reading progress.
- Dolch sight words list, Home Reading Programme and Thomson Learning PM Benchmark Levelling System are used as a tool to enhance students' reading skill.

Provide students with maximum exposure and use of English by promoting English-language activities and events with the help of the 4 NETs (i.e. P.6 Day Camp, P.6 Mock Interview, P.5 Stanley Visit, P.4 Hong Kong Botanical Park visit, Pantomime show, English Café, English Days and other cultural activities.)
Conduct extra-curricular English activities and interest groups for students (i.e. Musical interest group, short film making interest group, drama interest group and English Ambassador Team (EAT) training.)
Provide opportunities to further develop gifted children's capability through nominating them for competitions (i.e. The Hong Kong Young Writers Awards, The Hong Kong Speech Festival etc.)
