G7–8 From Reading to Writing Program

Course Description

Course Overview From Reading to Writing is a structured academic program designed for Grade 7–8 students who struggle with both reading comprehension and writing. Many students can read texts but do not fully understand them. As a result, their writing lacks ideas, structure, and evidence. This program addresses the root cause by guiding students through a clear progression: Reading → Understanding → Thinking → Writing Instead of teaching writing in isolation, the course builds strong reading comprehension first, then systematically trains students to turn what they read into clear, organized, and evidence-based writing. It is an ideal bridge before Grade 9 Academic English.
