Our Primary English Programs
ContactAt Flying Colours Education we put an emphasis on fun. All our sessions are play based to ensure children learn in a fun and meaningful way. We have so much fun, the kids don’t even realise they’re learning
There are many benefits for our students when learning in small groups. Research suggests enormous advantages for students’ self esteem and mental well being as well as relationship building and communication skills when working with each other in small groups. Quite often when our students see other kids are having trouble like them, their aversion to learning decreases and they are more open to accepting help.
Besides, playing games with other kids is WAY more fun than playing on your own!!!
Primary English Programs
Learn to read
Learning to read can be challenging for some kids! The Flying Colours Learn to Read program teaches reading the right way; through the explicit teaching of phonics and how to use them to sound out words. In each session we provide our students with a new tool to add to their tool box that they can use to improve their reading. As their tool box gets bigger, so does their phonics knowledge, self confidence and reading ability. This program is designed for students who are struggling to meet grade outcomes in reading.
Learn to Spell
Spelling is a tough skill to master. Doing Look Say Cover Write Check and spelling 20 words at the end of the week IS NOT learning to spell, it’s learning to recite 20 words. REALLY being able to spell is about correctly spelling words and applying them during writing tasks. In each session we provide our students with a new tool to add to their tool box that they can use to improve their spelling. This program is ideal for those students who are great at reading but have trouble learning and remembering spelling strategies.
Comprehension
Being able to read is one thing but understanding what you’re reading is a whole new ball game! The Flying Colours Comprehension Program focusses on the many elements of reading comprehension needed to be able to understand and enjoy reading. In each session we provide our students with a new tool to add to their tool box that they can use to improve their comprehension. This program is ideal for those students who are fluent readers but find comprehension challenging.
Learn to Write
The art of writing comes naturally to some kids but for others it can be a frustrating and even traumatising experience. The school system requires students to write imaginatively, informatively and persuasively. The high expectation of students to include key information and supporting details along with correct text structures and language features can be very overwhelming. In each session we provide our students with a new tool to add to their tool box that they can use to improve their writing. This program is for those kids that find it easy to come up with amazing ideas but when it comes to getting them down onto paper, they come unstuck! You can even use your Creative Kids Voucher to participate in this program!
