S.H.I.N.E READ
& REFLECT
English Language + Character
& Citizenship EducationWHAT is S.H.I.N.E Read & Reflect
about?
■ Once every 2 weeks, your child will:
– read a book based on the growth
mindset or gracious behaviour
– reflect on the book and write a
journal entry in your EL Journal
■ There will be 14 books to read per
level.
■ They have been specially picked for
your child to take home for reading.Some examples:
WHY are we doing S.H.I.N.E Read & Reflect? ■ The “I” in S.H.I.N.E stands for “Introspection”. Someone who introspects will pay attention to his/her own ideas, thoughts and feelings, and think about them. ■ If we practise the self-discipline to introspect when we come across something, we will keep on growing in our knowledge, skills, values and behaviour. ■ Our school’s vision is “A Lifelong Learner, A Gracious Citizen”. To become lifelong learners and gracious citizens, we need to have a growth mindset and learn about graciousness. Reading the books and thinking about what we have read will help us in that.
Parents’ Support ■ Home support – help your child learn English with English language reading materials at home and those provided by the school. ■ Activate child’s interest – show your child that you believe learning English is both enjoyable and useful in your daily life.
Parents’ Support ■ Role model – read and write notes and messages in front of your child. ■ Understanding – English language learning requires frequent exposure to listening, speaking, reading and writing opportunities and activities rather than use of worksheets alone.
Non-weighted assessment Pri 1 and 2 ■ Reading aloud a passage ■ Listening (Sound discrimination and picture matching) ■ Speaking (Show and Tell) / (Stimulus-based conversation) ■ Writing (a paragraph for each picture of a sequence – 4 pictures) ■ Language Use (Grammar, Vocabulary and Comprehension)

Why Volunteer? 1. Improve family bonding A parent’s active involvement in school activities can boost family bonding and values education at home. When parents volunteer, opportunities are created for them and their children to have conversations about school, teachers and peers. 2. Learn from each other Parent volunteers are constantly learning from one another as they contribute to the school. By associating with other parents, the school principal and teachers, parent volunteers learn and upgrade themselves on education in general. 3. The Joy of giving back
