About language and pronunciation help

Curriculum check and original sources
An adult reads the English text and questions aloud. The child points, acts, draws/colours or answers orally. The child is not required to read these prompts or write English answers. Accept natural appropriate answers; never infer a test score from a model response.
Terms in these original EWS lessons and review papers are a recommended practice sequence, not an official allocation. Use the child’s school plan.
The official sources inspected are the 2026 Grade 1 Activity Book I and combined Term 1 teacher guide. All numbered activities 1–46 in Book I are mapped below. Official Term 2 and Term 3 books were not found in the inspected official public catalogue, so full-year official verification is NOT established.
The 2026 teacher guide includes alphabet/sound awareness and tracing as readiness goals; optional readiness activities must not become a claim of an official formal written English examination.
Teacher-source song text is not reproduced here. New conversations, examples, stories and tasks are original EWS supplementary practice.
