Lovely Letter Sounds |
Using animated stories of Sunny and Sandy, learners are helped to differentiate the voiced and unvoiced digraph th and consonant blends like sk, sl, sw and st. They participate in interactive tasks to identify these consonant digraphs and blends, and create their own tongue twisters in class. Related Module: Relationships |

| Study of Using Assessment Data to Enhance Learning and Teaching (English Language Education) Phase I — Analyzing Multiple Choice Items in the 2008 TSA Reading papers for Primary 3, Primary 6 and Secondary 3 |
This document reports an analysis into a set of 2008 Territory-wide System Assessment (TSA) reading papers, students' performances and the facility indices. The objective of this work is to identify students’ learning problems, and the dimensions in which weaknesses in students’ performance are manifest. It is hoped the identification of these learning problems will lead to reliable and accurate estimates of possible causes of prospective students’ learning problems, resulting in the development of some school-based diagnostic assessment tools, the outcomes of which will inform future teaching and learning. |

| Study of Using Assessment Data to Enhance Learning and Teaching (English Language Education) Phase II |
The objectives of this Study aree to i) empirically verify some students’ key reading problems observed in the Phase-I Study; ii) ascertain causes of reading difficulties for the students while they were reading; and iii) make use of what has been observed from the tests and interviews data to inform and enhance the teaching and learning of reading in the pilot schools. Findings of the Study have implications for the teaching of reading in both primary and secondary schools, and especially in teaching students reading skills which may enhance their performance in reading, with specific reference to the Territory-wide System Assessment (TSA) reading papers. |
