What parents should know about SABIS Kindergarten English.
SABIS Kindergarten English builds early literacy through a structured, sequential curriculum. Understanding how the programme works helps families choose the right support at the right time.
SABIS Kindergarten English is the early-years language programme used across SABIS network schools. It introduces phonics, vocabulary, listening, and early reading through a tightly structured, sequential pathway designed for young learners.
SABIS assesses Kindergarten students through continuous in-class observation, weekly subject quizzes, and the SABIS Academic Monitoring System (AMS). Regular AMS scores track each child's progress against the school's internal benchmarks throughout the year.
Early intervention during the Kindergarten year makes the biggest difference. Families typically seek tutoring support when AMS scores dip, before a new unit begins, or when a child needs extra confidence with phonics and early reading.
A group class can't do this.
Lessons built around the gaps
The tutor identifies exactly which phonics sounds or vocabulary units your child is struggling with and builds every session around closing those specific gaps.
Real SABIS AMS preparation
Each lesson mirrors the question styles and topic sequence used in SABIS AMS quizzes, so your child practises the same format they'll face in school.
Parents kept in the loop
After every session, you receive a short progress note covering what was covered, what improved, and what to focus on before the next lesson.
The structured early-literacy programme across SABIS network schools.
SABIS Kindergarten English is the early-years English language programme delivered in SABIS network schools across the GCC and internationally. It covers phonics, vocabulary, listening comprehension, and early reading for children aged four to six.
Students are assessed continuously through the SABIS Academic Monitoring System. AMS quizzes run throughout the school year, giving teachers and parents regular data on each child's progress against the programme's sequential scope and sequence.
One-to-one tutoring follows the exact SABIS Kindergarten English scope and sequence your child's school uses, so every session reinforces what is being taught in class rather than running ahead or behind the school's own timetable.
What a one-to-one SABIS Kindergarten English lesson actually looks like.
Every session follows a clear four-phase structure: a quick recap, a focused teaching block, guided practice, and a review. Sessions are calm, age-appropriate, and matched to a young child's attention span.
Book a trial lessonA typical 45-minute session
- 0-5 min
Recap and quick check-in
The tutor revisits the previous session's topic with a short warm-up activity, checking what the child remembers before introducing anything new.
Example: Flashcard review of short-vowel CVC words from the previous lesson, such as 'cat', 'hen', and 'pin'.
- 5-20 min
Teach the target topic
The tutor introduces the new phonics sound, vocabulary set, or comprehension skill using visuals, interactive activities, and age-appropriate explanations matched to the SABIS Kindergarten scope and sequence.
Example: Introducing the 'sh' digraph with picture-matching activities and guided blending practice aligned to the SABIS phonics unit sequence.
- 20-40 min
Practise with guided activities
The child works through structured exercises mirroring the style and format of SABIS AMS quiz questions, with the tutor providing immediate feedback and gentle correction.
Example: Completing a short AMS-style listening and matching activity where the child identifies words beginning with the target sound from a set of pictures.
- 40-45 min
Review, praise, and set next steps
The tutor closes with encouragement, recaps what was achieved, and shares a short home activity to keep progress going before the next session.
Example: A simple colouring-and-labelling sheet focusing on three new vocabulary words to complete with a parent before the next lesson.
After the lesson
You receive a brief session note covering what your child practised, how they responded, and what to gently review at home. The session recording is saved to your account so you can revisit any activity at any time.

Why families across the GCC trust Tuitional for SABIS tutoring.
My daughter was struggling with her SABIS phonics quizzes and losing confidence fast. Within three weeks of sessions with her Tuitional tutor, she was blending sounds independently and actually looking forward to English class. The patience and structure made all the difference.
Booking was straightforward and the tutor replied the same day. My son's tutor sends a short note after every session so I always know what he worked on. It gives me real peace of mind as a parent.
I was worried online sessions wouldn't hold my five-year-old's attention, but the tutor used games and pictures the whole time. She asked to do extra sessions herself by the second week.
Our son's AMS scores improved from below average to on-track within one term. The tutor knew exactly which SABIS units to target and wasted no session time.
SABIS Kindergarten English tutoring, your questions answered.
The things parents ask us most, answered plainly and honestly.
?Is online tutoring suitable for Kindergarten-age children?+
Yes, online one-to-one sessions work well for Kindergarten children when the tutor uses visual activities, games, and short task blocks suited to a young child's attention span. Sessions are kept calm, interactive, and age-appropriate throughout.
?How does the tutor know what the SABIS syllabus covers?+
Our tutors are trained on the SABIS curriculum, including the Kindergarten English scope and sequence and the AMS assessment format. Lessons follow the same unit order your child's school uses, so nothing drifts from what is being taught in class.
?How long is a typical SABIS Kindergarten English session?+
Most families choose 45-minute sessions for Kindergarten students, as this fits a young child's concentration well. Sessions can be adjusted to suit your child's pace and the topics that need the most attention.
?How often should my child have tutoring sessions?+
One session per week is a good starting point for most Kindergarten students. Families preparing for AMS assessments or catching up on a specific phonics unit sometimes book two sessions per week for a short period.
?What if my child doesn't connect with the tutor?+
If the first tutor pairing doesn't feel right, we offer a free re-match at no extra cost. Getting the right fit matters, especially for young children, and we won't leave you stuck with a session that isn't working.
?How much does SABIS Kindergarten English tutoring cost?+
Tuitional's rates for Grade 1 to 8 level tutoring start from AED 35 per hour. For full details on session rates and package options, please visit our tutoring packages page.
