Chinese Writing Accelerator - Primary 3 to 6

For each group lesson, students will be taught the critical thinking skill, relevant vocabulary and writing techniques for a NEW topic. 

He/she will write a composition Draft 1 for the topic after class and submit within 3 days. 
Total 8 topics. 

In the week without lesson, the Draft 1 is returned with detailed comments and prompts to help students improve the writing with more ideas. 

Students will write a Draft 2 that requires them to think deeper, elaborate ideas, expressing ideas differently or applying different writing techniques. Draft 2 is not just corrections. This piece will be graded and returned before the next lesson. 

A model composition and score breakdown will also be provided for students' reference.

Writing Accelerator (for Pri 2 to 6)

Do your children have the following difficulties with writing? 

- Lack of ideas to write an original story
- Too many ideas and ended up writing a confusing story
- Not able to express their ideas clearly and coherently
- Writing out of topic

Common Issues that Baffled Parents

==>> Your child may read a lot but is unable to write a good piece of composition independently.
==>> Your child may enjoy writing and practise writing compositions diligently, but he/she still scores below 17/20 (lower Pri) or 35/40 (upper Pri) consistently.
==>> Your child may read and memorise a lot of model compositions, but he/she struggles to write outstanding pieces on unfamiliar topics.

At From Tiny Acorns, our tried-and-tested Writing Accelerator programme will address these issues and teach your child effective techniques to significantly elevate their writing scores! 

The Writing Accelerator is a structured programme specially designed to help students learn to craft coherent compositions while developing their individual writing voice.

Weekly Programme (9 lessons)

How does it work?

3. All written assignments are returned with detailed feedback via email.
4. For each composition topic, either draft 1 or 2 is graded with assessment rubric and recommendations so students/parents can understand the strengths/weaknesses to work on.
