A precise definition of the starting point, outcome and mastery standard.
Suggested prior knowledge
- • Analyses syllables in a long word
- • Infers meaning from context
- • Identifies the main idea
Expected evidence of performance
- ✓ Reads with suitable expression
- ✓ Distinguishes simple text types
- ✓ Identifies cause and effect
- ✓ Cites information from the text
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.
Assessment throughout, not just a final test
- Starting assessment after unit 2
- Progress assessment after unit 5
- Transfer assessment after unit 8
- Final mastery task after unit 10
Support decreases as the child progresses
About 75% of the lesson is in the target language, with visual Arabic support when needed; the proportion increases according to the child’s performance.
Sentence frames and keywords, with support gradually withdrawn.
The same level, a suitable challenge for every child
- Support: A short support bridge revisits the smallest missing skill in Accuracy, fluency and comprehension, 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 4 skill in a richer text or task, without randomly jumping to another level’s content.
Final mastery project
Reader portfolio: your child reads a new text related to “Reader portfolio”, explains their understanding and finds evidence.
Optional home practice: 5–8 minutes: a short read-aloud followed by one meaning question, without turning home into a classroom.
Your child knows the stages, while the content increasingly challenges their thinking.
