EXPANDING THE SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATION HOUR

catalyst for the elder one to remain ahead,
or else be coached by the younger brat, so to speak

"Students are put on a 3-stage reading programme. Since it is interventionist, and shadowing the official curriculum, the stages are tagged Remedial, Enrichment and Further Reading for students from Primary Four to Secondary Three category. This is an important grading element for the home tuition part, i.e. for sibling coaching. There will be instances where siblings from different grades end up with same module level and this acts as a catalyst for the elder one to remain ahead, or else be coached by the younger brat, so to speak. The Further Reading stage would include read aloud sessions using science and mathematics books, such as Barron's Science & Maths Wizardry, which will eventually generate enough interest to sustain the reading habit.."
