Structured English sessions for ages 3–5. We build early reading confidence and creative reasoning through our EngLit programme.
EYFS English develops secure early foundations in phonics, reading, writing and communication. Children learn to recognise sounds, build words, understand simple texts and express their ideas with confidence. They develop early comprehension skills while also learning to describe ideas clearly and confidently.
Improve ME's EngLit programme, aligned with EYFS, places strong emphasis on building a strong foundation in early literacy to support future reading and writing success. Our structured approach, built around four core learning pillars, ensures children develop confidence, accuracy and skills that go beyond classroom expectations.
Age range
Programme
Four areas of focus across every EYFS English session.
Making sense of the world through reading
Exploring stories and ideas through imagination
Developing early reading confidence
Building strong foundations in writing
We focus on confidence, accuracy, and consistency using a clear assessment-to-plan approach.
Every child starts with a Diagnostic Test to identify their current level — what is secure, what is developing, and where support is needed. At EYFS, this is carried out through gentle, observation-based interaction rather than formal testing.
Progress is tracked in every session. We monitor understanding, identify gaps early, and adjust teaching immediately — ensuring steady, confident progress at the right pace.
Parents receive clear, regular updates on progress, confidence and next steps. At this stage, strong parent partnership is essential — and we prioritise open, consistent communication.
Our approach is structured, personalised and designed to build real confidence and progress.
Our Improve ME curriculum is expertly designed with high-quality materials and a carefully sequenced structure, building strong foundations in reading, writing and spellings
Every child follows a structured learning journey tailored to their pace. Skills are developed step by step — from sounds and word building to confident reading, writing, and understanding.
Children take ownership of their own learning through simple agreements, setting goals and celebrating their progress
Children work towards English milestones attaining certificates in writing and spelling. We will here to celebrate with you!
FAQ
Everything you need to know about English at Improve ME
Our EYFS English programme covers early literacy through phonics, reading, and writing foundations. It follows our structured EngLit programme, designed specifically for ages 3 to 5.
Yes. The foundational literacy skills we build at EYFS — phonics, early reading, communication — are universal and directly relevant regardless of which curriculum your child's school follows.
Always one. One tutor, one child — no exceptions at EYFS level.
Sessions are structured and teacher-led with phonics, early reading, and guided writing. Activities are age-appropriate and engaging — children learn best through a combination of structured tasks and playful exploration.
We align with the EYFS statutory framework but teach through our EngLit programme — which goes further and builds deeper understanding than classroom coverage alone. This applies whether your child attends a British, IB, American, or any other curriculum school in Dubai.
Absolutely. Our programme deliberately bridges EYFS and KS1. Children who complete our EYFS programme enter Year 1 with stronger phonics, early reading confidence, and communication skills that set them apart from the very first week.
We spend relaxed, informal time with your child to understand where they are developmentally. It is observational — not a test. Afterwards we share what we found and recommend next steps.
