Study & Teaching Tips for Parents & Teachers
To ensure primary students build confidence in English speaking, reading, and writing, follow these practical steps:
- Daily Phonics & Sight Words: Use Ennum Ezhuthum Malar reading cards for 10 minutes every day to master silent letters, blends, and common sight words.
- Contextual Grammar Practice: Teach prepositions, conjunctions, and collective nouns using classroom objects and daily household sentences rather than rote memorization.
- Encourage Independent Comprehension: Ask children to retell the supplementary stories in their own simple sentences to strengthen narrative fluency.
