The document discusses bridging gaps in literacy development through activity-based learning. It notes that gaps were identified between two schools in communication, curriculum, teaching, and student learning. To address this, opportunities were provided for teacher and student exchange between schools and better curriculum planning. Activity-based learning involves students being actively involved mentally and physically in projects and fieldwork to learn at their own pace without burden. It provides a platform for learning through experiences and opportunities for learning from teachers and peers. Hearing impaired children will feel secure learning in groups in this method.

3. From our observation, many gaps identified in the
communication between the two schools, the
curriculum, teaching pedagogy and students’
learning.
To enhance a smooth interface, we provided an
opportunity for the professional exchange between
the two schools’ teachers and students and we
worked with teachers to facilitate the better
curriculum planning and pedagogical adaptation. 3

5. Literacy is most commonly understood as
reading and writing.
But before children can read and write,
they need to learn about sounds, words,
language, books and stories.
You have a vital role to play in helping
your child with early literacy development. 5

6. The growth of literacy skills is a vital part of our
child’s overall development.
It’s the foundation for doing well at school, socializing
with others, developing independence, managing
money and working.
You can help your child’s literacy development
by communicating with her, reading with her
and teaching his/her about sounds in ways that are
fun for both of you.

8. In a ‘traditional’ class there is a perception that the most
industrious students are those who passively soak up
everything the teacher might serve up to them in a suitably
‘didactic sauce’ only to ‘spout it’ back word-for-word.
At the beginning of the class, we illustrated ABL with a
famous saying of Confucius that stresses participation as
the key to students’ learning success.
Tell me, and I will forget,
Show me, and I may remember,
Involve me, and I will understand. 8

17. 1. Competencies are split into different parts/units and converted into different
activities.
2. Each part/unit is called a milestone.
3. In each subject, the relevant milestones are clustered and linked as chain and
this chain of milestones is called LADDER.
4. Milestones are arranged in a logical sequence from simple to complex and
also activities in each milestone.
5. To enable the children to organize in groups group cards are used.
6. Evaluation is inbuilt in the system. Separate cards / activities are used for17
