Cabmridge Primary: English

The Cambridge Primary English curriculum is divided into 5 areas:
  1. Phonics, spelling and vocabulary
  2. Grammar and punctuation
  3. Reading
  4. Writing
  5. Speaking and listening
What this curriculum is expected to do for the children:
  • develop thinking skills and encourage intellectual engagement
  • enable learners to communicate confidently and effectively
  • develop critical skills (to respond to media and texts with enjoyment and understanding)
  • develop a first language competency in English* 
 *Based on a curriculum designed to be successful in any culture and to promote cross-cultural understanding.

Maybe I should redesign the curriculum to be successful in teaching English as well as Islamic Knowledge. Perhaps this is what's called Unit Studies, all knowledge (English, Math, Science) centered around one main subject (Islam). The curriculum must be customized.
