 THE TEACHING OF PHONICS
Teachers need to teach phonics for basic literacy as
stipulated in the LINUS Programme before carrying out
lessons on other language skills such as Listening,
Speaking, Reading, Writing and Language Arts.

Therefore, Scheme of Work for Phonics is a guide for

teachers to develop phonics-based lessons. Teachers
are required to prepare lessons for 4 weeks (Year 1)
and 2 weeks (Year 2) at the beginning of the schooling
year.
 THE TEACHING OF PHONICS
Once the phonics teaching and learning have been
carried out at the beginning of the year, teachers
should embark on the teaching of other language skills
lessons as suggested in the Main Scheme of Work and
Superminds Textbook.

However, teachers are encouraged to consolidate the

Phonics teaching and learning activities in the lessons
throughout the year.

Content and learning standards are derived from the
curriculum framework which are also reflected in the DSKP
Upon completion of the phonics teaching and learning for
Year 1 (4 weeks) and Year 2 (2 weeks), teachers need to refer
to the Main Schemes of Work (Year 1 - 370 pages, Year 2 -
346 pages) and Superminds Textbook to plan lessons on the
language skills such as Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing
and Language Arts.

Teachers need to include suitable grammar or vocabulary

focus in the lesson planning. Therefore, they need to refer to
Year 1 or Year 2 syllabus. The syllabus is integrated in the
curriculum document (DSKP).
