Primary 1 Learning Companion: Enriching Classroom Learning with 14 Themed Units

This resource book is thoughtfully designed to support and enhance the Primary 1 curriculum, perfectly aligned with the 14 Primary 1 readers used in the classroom. Each of the 14 units corresponds directly to a specific reader, allowing students to apply what they’ve learned in their shared book approach (SBA) lessons in the classroom. Pupils can attempt each unit after they have covered the respective topic in the classroom, reinforcing their learning through targeted activities.

Each unit begins with a reading comprehension exercise to assess and strengthen students’ understanding of the material in the assigned reader. This section fosters essential skills like critical thinking, comprehension, and text analysis. Following the comprehension task, the unit progresses with a variety of exercises that focus on specific aspects of language development.

The key areas of focus in each unit include:

• Vocabulary: Expanding students’ word knowledge and helping them use new vocabulary in context, supporting both reading comprehension and communication.
• Word Study: Understanding word structures and meanings, enhancing spelling, pronunciation, and fluency.
• Grammar: Reinforcing essential grammar rules and sentence structure, building students’ ability to write and speak with accuracy.
• Oracy (Oral and Listening Skills): Developing effective speaking and listening abilities through structured activities that promote communication and understanding.
• Guided Writing: Encouraging students to express their ideas clearly through writing exercises that build confidence and creativity.

Role of the Book in the Learning Process: This resource book plays a crucial role in supporting the Shared Book Approach (SBA) used in the classroom, where teachers guide students through reading and exploring texts together. With each unit aligned to the SBA topics, students can apply and consolidate their classroom learning in a structured, self-paced environment.

1. Reinforcement of Classroom Learning: The book allows students to practice and reinforce concepts taught during SBA sessions, ensuring that they grasp the key ideas and build a strong foundation for future lessons.
2. Enrichment Beyond the Classroom: The exercises extend the classroom lessons with additional enrichment activities that promote further exploration of the topics, enhancing both their skills and curiosity.
3. Holistic Language Development: Through reading comprehension, vocabulary building, grammar exercises, oracy practice, and guided writing, the book offers a comprehensive approach to language learning that nurtures students’ academic and communication skills.

By engaging with the activities in this book, students will have a deeper understanding of what they’ve learned in their SBA lessons, while also building important skills for reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
