The English Curriculum 

The English curriculum offers children a language experience which integrates oral language, reading and writing. The English Curriculum notes that language is very important in the learning process. Children learn about language, and they also learn through language.

Oral language
The children are enabled to

• develop their ability to communicate and use language socially
• develop cognitive skills
• develop reading and writing skills
• enrich their language experience and imaginative powers.

Reading
The children are enabled to

• read for pleasure and information
• learn to locate and use books for a variety of purposes
• develop the higher order comprehension skills
• learn to read for both functional and social purposes.

Writing
The children are enabled to

• have opportunities to write for a variety of purposes, for different audiences and in a range of genres
• develop the ability to self-correct their own writing, through a consistent experience of drafting, editing and redrafting
• develop a command of the conventions of grammar, spelling and punctuation, and progressively become independent writers
