At Writers Studio, we believe strong language skills begin with joyful learning. Twinkle Stars is our Preparatory English Programme for K2 that helps children build confidence in speaking, reading, and writing through engaging stories, visuals, and play.
Each lesson is designed to be fun, purposeful, and age-appropriate, giving your child the perfect head start for Primary 1 success.
Every lesson is thoughtfully paced and developmentally appropriate. We guide students from early reading skills and storytelling to grammar and vocabulary, helping them build literacy skills without pressure.
With small, nurturing groups and experienced teachers, children receive personal attention and encouragement as they learn with joy and confidence.
Children explore language through read-aloud books, role play, group discussions, and picture-based prompts, all designed to spark creativity and full-sentence expression.
Our story-based approach introduces the Story Mountain and simple story planners, helping children organise their ideas with a clear beginning, middle, and ending.
We introduce punctuation, tenses, and nouns in fun and visual ways. Vocabulary is taught in context, helping children understand and use new words naturally.
Using storyboards, thematic plots, and guided questions, students learn to plan and write short stories with imagination and structure. They practise sequencing events, describing characters, and wrapping up stories meaningfully.
Comprehension skills develop through literal and inferential questions, text annotation, and key-detail recognition.
Through show-and-tell, picture prompts, and reading aloud, children learn to observe, describe, and express ideas clearly.
Our interactive oral activities build confidence, clarity, and active listening, helping children speak up in class and beyond.
We believe in steady, supportive progress tracking. Each term includes gentle assessments to monitor growth in reading, writing, grammar, and oral communication.
Weekly reinforcement activities include:
By the end of the Twinkle Stars programme, children will confidently recognise and read words through early reading skills and sight-word recognition. They will apply basic grammar rules in speech and writing, express their ideas clearly and creatively, and demonstrate understanding of simple texts.
They will transition smoothly into Primary 1, equipped with strong foundational literacy skills and a genuine love for learning. Twinkle Stars is where confidence shines and language takes flight.
