The Early Learning Programme is conducted in conjunction with EDIS Cares. It is a foundational literacy and numeracy programme for 6 – 7 year old to prepare them for entering into primary schools. Using materials created by Learning Vessels,
volunteers are able to help the child improve their reading through the use of phonetics, blending and sight words through 1-1 lessons. Volunteers will be paired with a partner for the weekly sessions and volunteer training will be provided.
ELP+ stands for Early Learning Programme Plus and is done in conjunction with EDIS Cares. It is an extension of ELP, but is targeted at Primary 2 students. This programme aims to support children who are weak in the English Language by plugging any gaps in basic grammar, reading comprehension, and writing. It is open primarily to children from lower-income families but does not preclude those from middle-income families.
The programme also helps to identify children who may have special learning needs so that early intervention measures can be taken to help them in their education in the future.
