Activities and Programme

Reading Programme

Objective:
To cultivate students’ reading habits and strengthen their listening, speaking, reading, and writing competencies through sustained reading practices.

The Chinese Department has developed a structured and comprehensive reading programme, as outlined below:

At the lower levels, teachers guide students in reading picture books and support their understanding of texts through scaffolded reading activities. At the middle levels, teachers facilitate the development of higher-order thinking skills and model good reading practices through silent reading. At the upper levels, students engage in independent reading and further develop higher-order thinking skills through reflection and sharing of reading responses.

Engaging Classroom Activities

Through engaging and enjoyable classroom activities, students’ interest in learning is heightened and their thinking is stimulated, motivating them to participate actively in the learning process. In a relaxed and supportive classroom environment, students are able to experience the joy of learning and gradually achieve their learning objectives step by step.

iPad-Assisted Learning

To enhance students’ motivation to learn, our school implemented an iPad-assisted learning programme for Primary 3 and Primary 4 students. Through one-to-one access to digital devices, technology is integrated into classroom learning to support instruction. This has greatly increased students’ engagement and enthusiasm, allowing them to participate actively and confidently in Chinese language lessons.

Learning Support Packages

To better reinforce key learning points taught in class, school-based learning support packages are provided at every grade level. These resources effectively integrate the four key language components—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—allowing students ample opportunities to practise listening and speaking while ensuring that reading and writing skills are developed in tandem. Through a structured and progressive approach, the packages support students’ learning and help them achieve the overall learning objectives.
