The Malay Language reading programme is carried out to cater to the low progress students who have difficulties in reading. Resources used in this programme are crafted and aligned based on difficulty level of the reading abilities of students. It is conducted every Thursday and Friday with the help of our P4 and P5 good reader buddies.

The students are given the opportunity to take part in various competitions conducted by external organisations. One of which is the national composition writing organized by EDN Media Pte Ltd.

The students are also actively participating in national level competitions conducted by the Malay Language Centre of Singapore.

This programme is conducted every Wednesday during Mother Tongue period. Our students are encouraged to borrow Malay books from our school library and read books from the different genres. Apart from this, they will have to complete a set of fun-filled activities relating to the books that they have read. For lower primary classes, the teachers will introduce and read new books to the students to foster the love for reading Malay books in them.
