Rookie Program Guide

The Rookie Program was created to establish the first 100 hours of English learning for beginner students. Within these 100 hours, students will have built a fundamental structure of the core skills which will guide them to advanced learning.


About the Rookie Program

Milestones

The Rookie Program is broken down into 25 Milestones, with 1 Milestone totalling around 4 hours of English learning. Each Milestone includes the following Challenges:

Challenges

Each Challenge in a Milestone is designed to be done in the following sequence:

  1. Lesson: English Language Arts lesson (ELA Standard course using Our World textbook)
  2. Video: Book Reading (featuring our live program book reading with our GSA teachers)
  3. Worksheet: English Language Arts (supplement of the English Language Arts lesson)
  4. Video: English Exposure (popular English videos for grammar reinforcement)
  5. Lesson: Phonics Bootcamp lesson (recommended for all beginner students to begin core skills)
  6. Worksheet: Alphabet (supplement of the Phonics Bootcamp lesson)
  7. Video: Book Reading (featuring books to supplement the Phonics Bootcamp lesson)

Lessons

Lessons can be booked in the student user area, and will be done in sequential order. You will be able to choose the date and time of the lesson. For our English Language Arts Standard course, your child will be given the course workbook, Our World, before they begin. It is not required to do the homework assigned from the lesson, but it is recommended in order to get the most out of your child’s learning.

While the Worksheet Challenges aid your child in identifying, writing, and basic reading comprehension skills, the Video Challenges are vital for your child to develop proper listening, speaking, phonics, pronunciation, and basic grammar skills.

Worksheet Challenges

Backed by our academic team, our worksheets will help your child to strengthen their skills and have them start establishing vital structures of the English language. Several of the Worksheet Challenges include a video that works either as both a refresher from the lessons, or as a review for your child to view after they have completed their worksheets.

While the worksheet challenges have an estimated time of 30 minutes, it is not required that your child must finish all of their work within that allotted time.

Video Challenges

We highly recommend for all students to enhance their core skills using English exposure, as for young learners, retaining language is more likely when they hear the language being spoken. While it is only recommended that your child need to view our Video Challenges once, your child can view the Video Challenges as many times as they would identifying, writing, and basic reading comprehension skills.
