Hi lovinglife,


I am very curious how does the school identify kids whom need to go for LSP? And also, do they do any screening? If yes, when?

Hello to Mummysma, Justdoit and fiona03!

All kids will take a little test, to check if they need lsm/lsp, the school won't inform u though when the test is .. But my frend was told her child needed it like late January so it must be say for prob mid jan.

1Over the last 5 years, around 12% to 14% of the children who entered Primary 1 had very weak oral English and literacy skills. Their knowledge of the English alphabet was incomplete and they were not able to recognize simple English words. They were also not able to understand very simple oral instructions in English. These pupils are identified in January each year and provided with additional support through the Learning Support Programme (LSP).

2The LSP is a specialised early intervention programme. The aim is to teach these children basic language and literacy skills as well as word attack strategies so that they can read and access learning in the regular classes as soon as possible. The LSP is implemented by Learning Support Co-ordinators (LSCs) who are qualified teachers specially trained by MOE in reading intervention.

3The LSP was reviewed and enhanced in 2005. The enhanced LSP is currently implemented in all primary schools at Primary 1 and 2. Around 45% of the children in the LSP are able to pass their schools’ English Language examinations and read at a level that commensurate with their age by the end of P1. Another 20% are able to do by the end of P2. The remaining pupils had made considerable improvements in their reading skills although the reading gap had not been totally eliminated. Although the LSP does not extend beyond P2, these students would continue to be monitored and supported by their teachers through school-based supplementary and remedial lessons.

Here is the link
http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/program ... g-support/

After P1 pupils have settled down in School during the initial first 2 to 3 Weeks of P1 Term 1, the 3 subject Tr (English, Maths, Chinese) will start to assess their class.
But Tr won't notify parents about this quiet observation / assessment, of the class. School won't alert parents about this.

By end of P1 Term 1 -
the subject Tr would have identified which pupil inside the class, need help ? Then, only those P1 parents involved, will be informed, accordingly.

But Doesn't mean that every year bound to have students selected to attend LSP.
Depend on your batch of students.
If happen that in your year, majority of the students can read well, can recognize numbers, then no child need to attend.

school trying to sieve out or identify which child facing problem, with basic, fundamental reading literacy, or basic recognition of numbers, basic counting ?
Then school will help them.

For Chinese, it is called \"bridging\" program.
For Chinese, they don't call it LSP

For English / Maths, it is called LSP

Hi Meiah and jkwleong!


I read that NYPS teach 弟子规. May I know at which level do they introduce this as it is very new to me and my child. I am not sure what to expect for this. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

[jkwleong]

@jaspire i am the wrong person to ask as i myself am not sure what to expect of this too.


perhaps we can ask the teachers and principal about this during the orientation on 15 Nov 2014.

in the meantime, my son is enrolled in Berries, so i hope that should prepare him for any chiam chiam Chinese that will be coming his way. i eat potato one, my wife is the best of both languages.
