In Endeavour, the STELLAR programme consists of the following:
(1) the core programme whereby prescribed Big Books and related worksheets are used to teach language skills
(2) an extension programme whereby additional language items and/or an extension of the core syllabus through the My Pals textbooks/workbooks is covered to give greater depth to pupils’ learning
(3) follow up activities are conducted through the learning centres - namely the Reading Centre, Word Study Centres and the Listening Posts
(4) our guided writing; we provide the experience for the pupils prior to their writing, followed by the teacher scaffolding the writing by completing a class dictated writing and then moving on to the group and individual writing
Although STELLAR does not make use of textbooks and workbooks, resources and worksheets provided are comprehensive and meet the requirements of the current English Language Syllabus. Please do note that your child may not be required to do all the worksheets in the STELLAR package (a package consists of various types of grammar/vocabulary/close/listening/comprehension worksheets).
The STELLAR committee and the P1 level teachers have exercised their professional discretion and have decided on the relevant worksheets to complete. The big books and the small books used in STELLAR are recommended by MOE and these resources are available for classroom use only. We have tailored our own scheme of work to cater to the needs of our pupils. We have also incorporated the other initiatives by MOE especially TLLM, Innovation and ICT.
