Overview of Our Creative Writing Primary School Class Programme
Nurturing a child's creativity and fostering strong language skills are essential for holistic development. At The Alternative Story, we believe in the power of Creative Writing to unlock a child's imagination and empower them with practical communication tools. Our English writing class for Primary School programme focuses on the following learning areas:
Oral and Written Skills and Techniques
As part of our English composition tuition programme, we help develop our students' oral and writing skills to equip them with a strong foundation in language. They learn various writing techniques, such as crafting vivid descriptions, constructing compelling narratives, and developing sensible storylines.
Critical Thinking and Creativity
Our writing classes for Primary School also encourage students to think outside the box, brainstorm different perspectives, and explore new ideas. By incorporating thoughtful prompts and stimulating exercises, we inspire them to develop original storylines, characters, and plot twists. Through this process, students learn to analyse situations from multiple angles, develop logical reasoning skills, and think creatively to overcome obstacles they face while writing.
Communication Skills
Effective communication is a vital skill that extends beyond the realm of writing. Our English composition tuition emphasises honing students' communication abilities, enabling them to express their ideas coherently and persuasively. Students learn to actively engage in class by sharing their ideas and thoughts, fostering clarity and constructive dialogues. These collaborations help them to come up with ideas for their writing.
Soft Skills
Alongside language proficiency, we recognise the importance of developing essential soft skills in young learners. Our Creative Writing classes cultivate qualities such as self-confidence, teamwork, and adaptability. These soft skills empower Primary School students to communicate effectively, adapt to different situations, and excel in the fast-paced environment inside and outside the classroom.
General Knowledge
Our Creative Writing courses for Primary School students go beyond language skills by fostering a passion for learning and expanding general knowledge. Our tutors incorporate thoughtful readings and exposure to different story ideas. By broadening their knowledge base, students gain insights into various subjects, enrich their storytelling, and develop a greater understanding of the world around them.
Primary Creative Writing Programme Structure
Classroom Learning
In the classroom learning phase, students are immersed in a dynamic environment where they develop their writing skills. Our experienced tutors guide them through various writing techniques, fostering their creativity and honing their language proficiency. Students are encouraged to think critically, express their ideas, and explore their imagination through engaging writing activities and exercises.
Formative and Summative Assessments
To gauge their progress and understanding, we employ formative and summative assessments. Formative assessments provide ongoing feedback and opportunities for improvement throughout the programme. Students receive constructive comments from their teachers, enabling them to enhance their writing style, structure, and content. Termly reviews assess their overall understanding and proficiency in creative writing, allowing them to apply what they had learnt in classes.
Consolidation Lessons
Consolidation lessons reinforce the knowledge and skills learned throughout the programme. These lessons allow students to enhance their understanding and mastery of key concepts. Consolidation lessons also enable students to revise their work, identify areas for improvement, and apply the feedback received from their teachers.

Engaging in English compo writing class exercises and activities stimulates critical thinking and enhances the thought process of young learners. These skills become valuable assets in various academic subjects and real-life situations.
