Sonia Makhetha working in Merlimau, Jasin, Melaka is running the PAL Programme in
SJKT Merlimau.

The main focus of this PAL programme is for students to learn sight words in order to improve their reading.
Currently there are 10 students from Year 1 and 2 who are involved.
Every pair has a reading pack which consists of: a collection of graded readers, sight word flashcards, a sight word tracker and a reading diary.
The reading sessions are held twice a week for 20 minutes before school begins.
So far, things are going well and students seem to be enjoying it. Some students are zipping ahead, others need more time, but overall there has been some noted improvements.
Depending on the success of this starter group, we plan to expand the project to include more students.
I like the idea of sight word flash cards - much less daunting than a whole book. I'm going to use that!
