Writing instruction is incorporated into every teaching unit. Teachers design school-based writing materials based on the theme, genre, and characteristics of the reading texts. This approach seamlessly integrates reading and writing, utilizing reading to inspire and guide students' writing.
Our writing curriculum follows a spiral progression, systematically consolidating and elevating students' writing proficiency step by step across different grade levels.

To encourage greater student engagement, teachers employ a variety of interactive methods to make writing lessons fun and appealing. Diverse activities—such as combining creative writing with drawing, extended writing tasks based on picture books, scriptwriting, and story rewriting—are organized to effectively boost students' enthusiasm for writing.
