Before subscription and production

A precise definition of the starting point, outcome and mastery standard.

Before starting

Suggested prior knowledge

  • • Uses basic tenses
  • • Vary sentences
  • • Maintain coherence
To confirm mastery

Expected evidence of performance

  • ✓ Chooses a style to suit the purpose
  • ✓ Connects short paragraphs
  • ✓ Support an opinion with a reason and an example
  • ✓ Summarise and paraphrase
Mastery rule

A skill counts as acquired only after two successes: once in direct practice and once in a new task the child has not seen before.

Measurement checkpoints

Assessment throughout, not just a final test

  1. Starting assessment after unit 2
  2. Progress assessment after unit 5
  3. Transfer assessment after unit 8
  4. Final mastery task after unit 10
In-lesson support

Support decreases as the child progresses

About 85% of the lesson is in the target language, with visual Arabic support when needed; the proportion increases according to the child’s performance.

Mostly independent tasks, with a mini-dictionary and hints on request.

Three paths

The same level, a suitable challenge for every child

  • Support: A short support bridge revisits the smallest missing skill in Spelling, sentences and text organisation, using a simpler model and more practice.
  • Main path: The main path follows the ten units with spaced review of earlier skills.
  • Challenge: The challenge path applies the same level 5 skill in a richer text or task, without randomly jumping to another level’s content.
Transfer to everyday life

Final mastery project

Writer portfolio: your child plans a text related to “Author portfolio”, writes and reviews a draft, then presents a final version.

Optional home practice: 5–8 minutes: a daily sentence or note on a topic chosen by the child, followed by reviewing just one point.

A familiar routine in every unit

Your child knows the stages, while the content increasingly challenges their thinking.

  1. 1

    I read a good model and understand its purpose

  2. 2

    I discover the writer’s craft or a writing rule

  3. 3

    We plan and write together, step by step

  4. 4

    I write my draft independently

  5. 5

    I review meaning, spelling and organisation

  6. 6

    I share the final version and reflect on my progress
