Word Enrichment and Reading

Word enrichment workshops: In order to achieve success in school, acquiring the skill of reading, is the most important skill to master, and has to be attained within the first three years of schooling.

Learners start writing formal exams in Grade 4 and by then the basic skills of reading should have already been mastered with confidence. The Word Enrichment Programme has been developed to empower learners to read with comprehension and insight.

Acquiring a wide and rich comprehension of language and vocabulary has a multitude of advantages such as:

• Prevention of loss of concentration due to lack of comprehension
• Improvement of language abilities, leading to reading with comprehension and effective communication.
• Confident expression of oneself in written language as well as in social communication
