Curriculum and video source check
What is verified
- Grade 1: 2026 Book I activities and its Term 1 teacher guidance.
- Grade 2: sixteen current ABOE themes and supplementary oral-language targets in the NIE handbook.
- Grade 3: eight official pupil-book units and the NIE nineteen Can Do targets.
- Grade 4: ten official pupil-book units and their inspected topic content.
- Grade 5: ten official pupil-book units and the NIE twenty-five competency levels.
What still needs a separate check
- Grade 1 official 2026 Term 2 and Term 3 materials have not been fully verified. Current later-term EWS papers are supplementary review.
- Full workbook activity-by-activity comparison remains open; this is a topic/competency mapping.
- Video sources, available descriptions and scripts were reviewed where recorded. Every learning item has matching topic support links, but full playback on every device is not certified.
- Selected-language sound aids are approximate. Native-language and real-phone audio review remain necessary.
Term labels are EWS recommended pacing; they do not impose a national school term plan.
