LEARNING PROGRESS IN

THE HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT

PROFILE (HDP)

• From 2019, schools will use subject-specific Learning

Objectives (LOs) and qualitative descriptors to report P1 & P2

students’ learning progress for all subjects in the HDP.

• Subject-specific Learning Objectives (LOs) reflects the

syllabus outcomes for P1 and P2 respectively

• The Learning Objectives (LOs) are meant as feedback to

students and parents for learning.

Yio Chu Kang Primary School Empowering Mind Engaging Heart Extending Hands

• Encourage Joy of Learning by not over-

emphasising academic performance.

• Focus on your child’s learning journey,

rather than compare them to others.

• With these changes, your child will:

Have more time and space to deepen

learning

Better enjoy the process of learning

Develop dispositions for lifelong

learning

As parents, you can:

• Activate child’s interest – Go to the library together.

Show/give your child books about their special interests or

hobbies. Allow your child to choose books to read and

reread.

TIPS FOR PARENTS: READING & SPEAKING

• Teach your child to select and read texts at his/her level: reading

texts that are too difficult can be frustrating; texts that are too easy

are not challenging.

• Set aside time for your child to read every day – at least 30 minutes

a day.

• Read to and with your child or have your child read to you.

Encourage your child to talk about books that he/she has just read

(ie. story/characters etc.)

• Model the use of Standard English when communicating with him/ her.

Do not attempt to correct their mistakes by repeating their mistakes.

• Read and write notes/messages in front of your child. Let them have

• In addition to doing worksheets and assessment books, English

language learning requires frequent exposure to listening, speaking,

reading and writing opportunities and activities.

TIPS FOR PARENTS: READING & SPEAKING

• Provide ample English language reading materials at

home. Introduce your child to a variety of texts (e.g.

game instructions, recipes, comic books, catalogues,

toy advertisements, magazines and newspapers etc.)
