SABIS KG English Programme
The SABIS Kindergarten English programme sequences letter recognition, phonemic awareness, blending, high-frequency words, and oral language through the SABIS Point System. Each skill unlocks the next, so every gap matters. Our tutors work through that sequence alongside your child.
Phonemic Awareness — Identifying and manipulating individual sounds in spoken words
Phonics and Decoding — Mapping letters to sounds using the SABIS sequential approach
Sight Word Recognition — Building instant recall of high-frequency words used in SABIS readers
Oral Language and Vocabulary — Developing spoken English through structured SABIS activities
Early Reading Readiness — Preparing children for independent reading and Grade 1 literacy
Alongside English, Talimat tutors support the full SABIS Kindergarten curriculum. Select a subject below to find a specialist tutor.
+ additional SABIS KG learning areas available on request.
SABIS Kindergarten uses a structured internal assessment scale. Progress is tracked continuously through the SABIS Point System, with performance reported across defined achievement levels rather than a traditional letter or number grade.
Top Performers: Highest Achievement Level
Children reaching the highest SABIS KG achievement level demonstrate consistent mastery across all assessed English skills, including phonics, vocabulary, and early reading readiness.
The assessment levels shown reflect the SABIS iPrimary scale and may differ from those used in other SABIS programmes or external qualifications. Speak to your Academic Consultant for guidance specific to your child's school.

The SABIS Kindergarten English programme moves quickly. Children are expected to recognise letters, blend sounds, and begin reading within a structured sequence. This section covers what that looks like in practice and where a 1:1 tutor makes a measurable difference.
SABIS Kindergarten English is built around the SABIS Point System, which sequences every phonics skill and reading objective so that each lesson builds on the last. Children who miss a point in the sequence can find the next steps confusing.
A 1:1 tutor identifies exactly where a child is in the sequence and fills gaps before they widen. In a class of 20, a child who hasn't yet blended consonant clusters may sit through lessons that assume they can.
For British curriculum families in the GCC, SABIS KG English is often a child's first structured literacy experience in a school setting. Getting the phonics foundations right in KG1 and KG2 directly affects reading fluency in Grade 1.
Key takeaways
From your first consultation to your child's weekly sessions, every step is designed around the SABIS Kindergarten English sequence and your family's schedule.

Each year group targets different phonics and literacy milestones within the SABIS sequence.
