Essential English Language Skills for Primary 4

Preparation for PSLE

WHAT?

Preparation for PSLE focuses strategically on developing exam skills for the 14 key language components of the PSLE English Language exam, preparing students for the final stage, PSLE Success (Success Stage 3). Working to further improve your child’s strengths while overcoming their challenges, your child is introduced to the style of language activities they will encounter, and on which they will be assessed, in the PSLE. Through modelling, explanation and examples, language skills are explicitly taught before assisted practice develops students’ understanding and confidence.

WHY?

While a strong foundation in English and oral communication skills is essential for a successful PSLE result, it is not sufficient. Your child needs to understand the MOE PSLE exam components and mastery of exam tips and strategies. This is difficult to achieve in a classroom with a high student-teacher ratio typical of a school setting. LCentral’s small class sizes, specialised teaching techniques, and motivational teachers will cater to your child’s learning needs so that your child can confidently advance to Primary 6 to conquer the final exam in primary school, PSLE.
