The main educational reform mode of TW-ETSN project is that 31 primary schools in Tsuen Wan use Phonics English education curriculum developed by Professor Rosaline Lee Fung and his educational team, supplemented by teacher module evaluation, children's education encouragement and various after-school reading studies.

The expert team of TW-ETSN specially introduced Phonics education with a long history in foreign countries, customized a set of teaching materials suitable for primary school students whose English is the second language for in-service teachers, and developed corresponding courses. In order to ensure the quality of teachers' teaching, TW-ETSN's team collects and sorts out related poems, writing, reading, games and communication skills for teachers, and develops a set of teaching materials for teachers to better understand the needs of children and provide a set of standard processes for education evaluation.
the textbook "Primary Phonics" contains three parts: teacher's guide book, classroom education guide and voice CD. On-the-job teachers can understand the connotation of courses and educational methods by reading Teacher's Guide, enrich theoretical knowledge, broaden their horizons and innovate teaching thinking.
