2021 PSLE Discussions and Strategies (Children born in 2009)

[staypositive18]

Hi, new here to learn more tips too as my girl taking PSLE next year too.


Seems this year end results, there is a drop of 8-10 marks, wondering should I be worrying? 😐

Hi


Thinking if getting a few key assessment books to help my child.
He is weak in CL composition and CL oral and would like him to read more model compositions. And practise on oral conversations. Any recommendations on any books to check out at Popular?

Don't think there's a need to worry too much as there is still 1 year to prepare! Think as long as she does some revision during holidays to make sure she is still familiar it should be okay. I am probably doing the same for my girl, am considering Snapask's revision classes after chancing upon it.

Less than a year -> 10 months

Or should we give them p6 assessment books for them to do first to let them get use to p6 qns first?

It can be demoralising for a just-completed-P5 kid to be asked to do P6 Maths and Science. Surely there will be topics and more advanced types of questions they have yet to cover. If you must do this, check carefully that the child has actually covered the topics. Personally, I have never liked to teach in advance, or to ask my kids to try things that they have not yet covered. If your child has not done as well as expected in P5, it would be more useful to do more P5 questions and deal with all the gaps and misunderstandings there, so that the foundation for P6 will be strong.

For the languages, the above doesn't apply, so doing some practice with P6 questions is probably OK.

But don't do too much - 2 hrs a day is quite a lot. If your child starts P6 already feeling burned out and that he hasn't had a break, he will be even less able to study well in his P6 year.

During the holiday, tackle the weakness first before studying more or way in advance. No point jumping into the P6 SA1 papers etc when the child is struggling at P5.


Personally I feel what is more important is mental health. Talk to the kids more and agreed together on the area of weaknesses and how to tackle them. Let the child be aware and take the ownership. Study everyday and so hard and yet not improving or improve rather slowly can be detrimental to the child’s morale.
