Subsequently, he learns to communicate verbal instructions to others using the same sentence structures he had been exposed to. This package also helps the child build up his vocabulary through exposure to multiple contexts and scenarios. The Primary 1 package focuses on picture dictation, which requires the child to listen to simple instructions and use a special set of electronic drawing tools to draw the correct items in their correct positions on the screen.
