Pupils with pre- and low-level literacy skills
Some pupils are already literate when they begin Primary Year 1, whereas others may not yet be
literate or may be just learning to read. Within the Scheme of Work, reading and writing skills are
developed in different ways and pupils’ literacy skills will be developed through the activities and
lessons, both in the textbook-based lessons and the non-textbook-based lessons as the relevant
Content and Learning Standards are given adequate attention for pupils who are developing literacy
skills.

However, pre-literate pupils, or those with low-level literacy skills, will need extra support. It is
recommended that teachers select relevant material from LINUS, Literasi Bahasa Inggeris (LBI)
Pupil’s Modules 1 and 2 (Second Edition) as supplementary to reading and writing lessons where
indicated in the Scheme of Work. This information can be found in the Differentiation column within
the Scheme of Work below.
