Strategies for English Language Learning and Reading (STELLAR) Programme

The STELLAR programme is designed to cater to a diverse range of EL learners to build their confidence and enhance their oral language and literacy development. Students are provided with opportunities to express themselves in an environment where language learning can be enjoyable and purposeful. By reading engaging stories in class, students get to speak extensively, as well as discuss and share their views with the teacher and their peers. 

ANDread - Addicted and Devoted to Reading

Our reading programme is designed to foster a love for reading and build good reading habits in every student.

In lower primary, students start with graded readers to strengthen basic comprehension. At Primary 3 and 4, they explore children’s literature to develop critical thinking skills. By upper primary, students read news articles to deepen their awareness of current events and real-world issues.

To enrich the experience, reading is paired with speaking activities, where students share their favourite books and articles with classmates.

Through this progressive approach, we aim to grow confident readers, thoughtful thinkers and effective communicators.

ANDventure
ANDventure is a signature programme for our Primary Five Andersonians. Over the course of 10 weeks, students are introduced to dramatisation techniques and work collaboratively to develop a script based on real-world issues. Through this process, they take on various roles and responsibilities, from acting to stage management. The drama programme culminates in a vibrant showcase and celebration, where students proudly present their performance to an audience of peers and teachers. This meaningful experience nurtures creativity, teamwork, confidence and a deeper awareness of issues in the world around them.

Competitions and Enrichment
Anderson enjoy a range of competitions and enrichment programmes, including the Wits and Words Debate, Reading Circles, Creative Writing Programme, NewsMaker Awards, Vactors Reading Stars and Plain English Speaking Awards. These platforms help students develop their speaking, writing, and critical thinking skills while boosting their confidence. Inter- and intra-class competitions across various areas of language learning are regularly organised to motivate students to sharpen their language skills. Through these enriching experiences, students discover new talents, challenge themselves, and unlock their full potential.
