Kindergarten 2 is an important year for our students, as it is the year when they start preparing in earnest for their transition to Primary 1. We give students a thorough grounding in the language and literacy skills across speaking, listening, reading, writing and phonics for success at primary school. In Kindergarten 2 we build confidence in the following skills: -speak clearly and in full sentences -read and spell a range of high frequency words -read age appropriate books with understanding, and be able to predict a simple storyline -use phonic sounds and blends to assist with decoding and spelling -appreciate stories, retell a story in their own words and sequence the main events of a story -listen to others and participate confidently in group work and class discussions -write a short story of their own composition comprising of at least three or four simple sentences -understand and apply basic punctuation conventions -use a sufficiently broad vocabulary
