SABIS Kindergarten
What is the SABIS KG programme?
SABIS Kindergarten uses the proprietary Student Book Series (SBS), a structured, cumulative curriculum that builds literacy, numeracy, and language skills in a precise sequence. Children in SABIS KG schools across the UAE, KSA, and Qatar follow the same tightly sequenced programme, with regular SABIS Point System assessments to track progress.
Falling behind in even one strand, such as phonemic awareness or early number bonds, can compound quickly because each SABIS unit builds directly on the last. Talimat tutors reinforce exactly the SBS unit your child is currently on, preparing them for the next assessment cycle.

SABIS SBS — KG1 and KG2 Scope
Six strands. One tightly sequenced programme your child must keep pace with.
The SABIS Kindergarten SBS covers English literacy, numeracy, Arabic, science, handwriting, and social studies in a fixed sequence. Point System assessments happen regularly, and gaps in any one strand show up immediately on the school report. Our tutors target exactly where your child needs reinforcement.
English Literacy — Phonics, sight words, and early reading fluency following the SBS letter sequence
Early Numeracy — Number recognition, counting, simple addition concepts, and pattern work
Arabic Language — Letter recognition, vocabulary, and early reading in Modern Standard Arabic
Science Foundations — Observation skills, basic classification, and early scientific vocabulary
Handwriting — Pencil grip, letter formation, and fine motor coordination aligned to SBS workbooks
How our online classes work for SABIS KG
Every session is live and one-to-one. Young learners in KG1 and KG2 need short, focused interactions, and our platform is built exactly for that.
Interactive whiteboard
Tutors use a shared digital whiteboard to trace letters, draw number lines, and work through SBS activities in real time with your child.
SBS-matched materials
Each session uses materials aligned to the exact SBS unit your child is covering in school, not generic worksheets.
Short session formats
Sessions are available in 30- or 45-minute formats, suited to the shorter attention spans of KG1 and KG2 learners.
Parent visibility
Parents can observe sessions at any time through the Talimat platform, keeping you informed about what your child is practising.

Parent stories
What SABIS KG parents say about Talimat
Parents across the UAE, KSA, and Qatar share what changed when their child got live, one-to-one attention instead of trying to keep up in a full classroom.
My daughter was getting lost during phonics time because the class moves so quickly. Within three sessions with her Talimat tutor, she was recognising all her SBS letter sounds confidently. The difference in her face when she reads now is everything.
Outcome: Daughter moved from struggling to confident reader within four weeks
MK
Mariam K.
Abu Dhabi, UAE · daughter KG2, SABIS International School
Our son kept bringing home his SBS workbook with half the exercises incomplete. His tutor quickly worked out he had a gap in his number recognition from an earlier unit. They went back and fixed it. His Point System scores have been so much better since.
Outcome: Son's Point System scores improved after targeting a number recognition gap
TF
Tariq F.
Dubai, UAE · son KG1, SABIS World School
We relocated from Dubai to Riyadh mid-year and I was worried about continuity. Talimat kept the same tutor for my child throughout the move. The sessions carried on that very first week in our new home.
Outcome: Seamless continuity maintained through a mid-year relocation from UAE to KSA
HA
Hessa A.
Riyadh, KSA · daughter KG2, SABIS International School
The class in SABIS has about 24 children. My son simply did not get enough individual attention for early Arabic. His Talimat tutor gives him 45 minutes of focused work every session and his confidence has grown so much.
Outcome: Son's early Arabic confidence grew significantly with focused 1:1 attention

Frequently asked questions: SABIS KG tutoring online
Everything GCC parents ask before booking a SABIS Kindergarten tutor. If your question isn't here, contact us and your Academic Consultant will respond within the hour.
Yes. Talimat tutors supporting SABIS Kindergarten students are familiar with the Student Book Series scope and sequence and align every session to the unit your child is currently covering in school.
We cover all core SABIS KG strands: Early English Literacy, Phonics, Early Numeracy, Early Arabic, Science Foundations, Handwriting and Fine Motor Skills, and French where the school offers it.
Sessions for KG1 and KG2 are available in 30-minute or 45-minute formats. Younger children typically begin with 30-minute sessions and move to 45 minutes as their focus develops.
Yes. Mid-year starts are straightforward with Talimat. There is no waiting for a new term and no enrolment deposit. Your Academic Consultant confirms a tutor and first session within the same day.
Your tutor and your session schedule travel with you. Families relocating between UAE, KSA, Qatar, or Oman keep the same tutor and pick up exactly where they left off, with no disruption.
Most families are matched with a suitable tutor within 10 minutes of signing up. Your first session, including the free trial, can typically be booked for the same day or the following day.
Sessions use a shared interactive whiteboard. The tutor works through SBS activities, traces letters, practises number bonds, and uses real-time audio and video. It feels personal, not distant.
There is no contract and no minimum number of sessions. You can cancel anytime. Talimat charges no enrolment deposit and has no hidden fees.
SABIS Kindergarten online tutoring with Talimat starts from AED 30 per hour for KG-level support. Your Academic Consultant will confirm the exact rate for your child's year group and subject.
Yes. Parents can observe any live session through the Talimat platform. All sessions are also recorded, so you can review what was covered or share the recording with your child's classroom teacher.
Yes. Several Talimat tutors specialise in early Arabic for SABIS KG, covering Modern Standard Arabic letter recognition, vocabulary, and early reading aligned to the SBS Arabic strand sequence.
Before each session, your tutor reviews the SBS unit your child is on, checks notes from the previous session, and prepares targeted activities. Your Academic Consultant also shares any parent feedback with the tutor ahead of time.
Why SABIS KG children fall behind, and how a tutor helps
The SABIS Kindergarten programme is more structured and faster-paced than most early years curricula in the GCC. Understanding where children most commonly slip, and what a 1:1 tutor specifically changes, helps parents act before a small gap becomes a real problem.
SABIS Kindergarten uses the Student Book Series, a cumulative system where each new concept assumes the previous one is secure. If a child misses a phonics pattern or a number concept in KG1, the KG2 units that follow will feel increasingly unfamiliar.
A 1:1 tutor identifies the exact SBS unit where the gap started and rebuilds from there, something a classroom teacher with 20-plus children cannot do within a standard lesson. The result is that your child re-enters the school sequence feeling confident rather than confused.
Families across the UAE and KSA find that consistent online tutoring, even one session per week, meaningfully improves Point System assessment scores and reduces the anxiety young children can feel when the class moves on without them.
Key takeaways
- SABIS SBS is cumulative: one gap compounds into the next unit quickly
- Point System assessments expose gaps early, making timely support essential
- A 1:1 tutor targets the exact SBS unit where your child lost pace
- Online sessions remove geography as a barrier for GCC families who relocate
- Even one weekly session can measurably improve confidence and assessment scores
