Hong Kong Curriculum Teaching Resources (P1–S6)
Hong Kong Curriculum Teaching Resources (P1–S6)
Hong Kong schools run six years of primary (P1–P6), three years of junior secondary (S1–S3), then three years of senior secondary (S4–S6) toward the HKDSE, with subjects grouped into eight Key Learning Areas. None of the units below were written for a Hong Kong classroom specifically, and this page will not pretend otherwise. What it collects instead is the general English-medium teaching material a P1–S6 panel actually reaches for: reading, number sense, a secondary literature unit and a science unit, with a bundle if one unit turns into a full term.

Five Resources Across the Curriculum
Pick the level that matches your next lesson rather than the whole year at once. Every file includes an answer key, and the bundle at the end is there for when one good unit turns into a term of them.
Grade 3 Reading Comprehension – Mia and the Moonlight Garden
Math Adventure Grade 2 – Numbers to 100 & Skill-Building Challenges
Shakespeare – Analysing a Drama (Macbeth)
Forces & Interactions | Newton's Laws, Free-Body Diagrams & Hooke's Law | Physics Unit | Grades 7–9
Physics Complete Curriculum Bundle | 15 Ready-to-Teach Units | Grades 5–12
The honest starting point
What This Page Actually Offers
There is no Hong Kong-specific product in this catalogue, and no Chinese-language material either, so this page will not claim otherwise. What it does have is a deep, cheap shelf for general English-medium teaching: reading and number sense at $2.99, secondary literature and physics units at $24.99, and a 15-unit physics bundle for a panel that wants a term already planned. That is useful across a P1–S6 school, and it is not written against any Hong Kong curriculum guide, CDC document or HKDSE syllabus.
Use it the way most panels use outside material: as a supplement dropped into a scheme of work you already own, not as the scheme of work itself. A P3 reading passage still needs P3 reading skills. A Newton's Laws unit still needs Newton's Laws. The subject content does not change because the classroom is in Hong Kong, though the assessment structure around it does.

A sequence that works
Building a Term From These Five Units
- Diagnose before you planRun the Grade 3 reading passage in week one, cold, no pre-teaching. It tells you where your actual readers sit before you commit a term of planning to where you assumed they sat.
- Use the math unit as a five-minute openerNumbers to 100 is short enough to run as a warm-up three times a week rather than a standalone lesson, which keeps number sense moving without eating a full period.
- Slot Macbeth into the S4–S6 rotation once core vocabulary is secureThe unit assumes students can already read extended English prose independently, so it sits better after a vocabulary-building term than at the start of one.
- Use the physics unit for the S1–S3 forces blockNewton's Laws and free-body diagrams map directly onto the KLA Science strand for junior secondary, regardless of which local scheme of work frames it.
- Reach for the bundle once you are teaching physics across two year groupsFifteen units at $129.99 works out cheaper per unit than buying four or five separately, which is the point at which a bundle earns its place over single units.
Where it goes wrong
Three Misconceptions About Buying Resources Like These
The first misconception is that a resource written for a general English-medium classroom must be rewritten before it works in Hong Kong. Most of it needs no rewriting at all — a reading comprehension passage tests the same skills everywhere, and a physics unit on forces stays the same physics regardless of the exam at the end. What changes is how you sequence it against your own scheme of work, not the content itself, and that sequencing decision stays entirely with the panel, not with the file.
The second misconception is that buying a unit means outsourcing the lesson. The files give you the worksheets, the slides and the answer key; they do not know your students, your timetable or your panel's assessment calendar. Treat each unit as a strong first draft you adapt in twenty minutes, not a finished lesson you run unread.
The third misconception is that a bundle is always the smarter purchase. It is only smarter once you are already using three or four units from that strand — buying fifteen physics units for one lesson on forces is the wrong trade. Start narrow, confirm the fit, then widen to the bundle once the pattern is clear.

Everything on this page is independent teaching material written for a general English-medium classroom. None of it is an EDB, CDC or HKEAA publication, and none of it has been vetted or endorsed by an examination authority. That is stated plainly here and again in the FAQ below, because it should not need to be discovered later.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Is this material approved by the EDB or aligned to an official Hong Kong syllabus?
No. These are independent teaching resources. They are not an EDB or CDC publication, they are not vetted or endorsed by the HKEAA or any examination authority, and they are not written against a specific Hong Kong syllabus document. Teachers use them inside their own school-based scheme of work and decide what fits.
Does this replace a full scheme of work for my panel?
No, and it is not built to. A panel's scheme of work sets sequencing, assessment weighting and local context across a full year; these units are single lessons or short blocks that slot into whichever part of that scheme needs a ready-made worksheet or unit rather than a blank page. Most teachers who use this page keep it bookmarked as a source of ready material, not as the plan itself.
Can non-Chinese speaking or EAL students use these units?
Yes, since everything here is written in English at a stated grade level rather than assuming a first-language reader. The reading and math units in particular work well for EAL learners because the vocabulary load is controlled and the tasks are self-checking.
Are the files editable, or only print-ready PDFs?
Both. Every unit ships as editable Word and PowerPoint alongside a print-ready PDF, so you can cut a slide, retime an activity or swap a name in a word problem without starting from a blank document.
What if a unit sits slightly above or below my class's actual level?
Use the editable files to trim or extend rather than discarding the unit. Most of these were written with a two-year grade span in mind precisely because classes rarely sit exactly on the label, so there is usually room to move a task up or down a level within the same file.
Do you have any Hong Kong-specific or Chinese-language products?
Not yet. The catalogue currently has no Mandarin, Cantonese or Chinese-language material, and no product written specifically against a Hong Kong curriculum document. This page links the closest honest fit — general English-medium teaching material — rather than pretending otherwise.
