2021 PSLE Discussions and Strategies (Children born in 2009)

[coast]

When the official school year starts on Jan 4 for Ministry of Education (MOE) kindergartens and primary schools, only Kindergarten 1 (K1) children and Primary 1 (P1) pupils need to report to their new schools.


Kindergarten 2 and Primary 2 to Primary 6 children will remain at home and report to school only on Jan 5. It will be an extra day of holiday for these older children.

MOE said on Friday (Dec 18) that special education and secondary schools will also reopen on Jan 4, while junior colleges (JCs) and Millennia Institute (MI) will start on Jan 11.

On the earlier start date for K1 and P1 children, MOE said this is to better welcome the younger children, and ensure that safe management measures can be implemented effectively.

For Oral, I will recommend A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO PSLE ENGLISH ORAL EXAMINATION (Primary 6)
For Composition, I will recommend A STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO ACE PSLE COMPOSITION WRITING (Primary 6)
If you want an all in one guide, I will recommend Excel In PSLE English: A Smart Study Guide

P.S. This is just my recommendations that I find good, it might not necessarily be good for everyone!😊

Hope this helps!!! 💕

School resources are usually sufficient for Oral and most Paper 2 components.

Get additional resources if your child is weak in certain areas.

Eg., if weak in Vocabulary, get Vocab assessment book (general and thematic)

For compos, you can ask your child to read one or two compositions from Creative Writing books by The Alternative Story. If your child likes it, buy one of the books.

All the best.

SM81, I would encourage reading widely/ making trips to library weekly.

Thank you...yes she does read a lot.. so much that sometimes I have to tell her to focus on the school tasks.
I noticed she could use help with OE comprehensions.. any recommendations to help with that..

[Zeal mummy]

Oh.. for OE comprehension, need to do a ton of annotations and answering technique needs to be refined.. must follow answering structures.. ! The more “annotation” the better scores. I’m not sure how to annotate tho, but the kids were taught how to do it in school.


Your child sounds like a kid whose command of English is good! Let her read.. and get her pay attention during English class

Based on this yr psle, my advice is to focus on Chinese during school holiday. Chinese oral is abt 50 marks or 25%. Low hanging fruits. Start practicing oral in Dec, every week focus on 1 theme. If you talk reasonable well, the teachers will give a good mark. Learn all the 词语 from P4 onwards especially P5, keep practicing mcq in assessment bk and past year paper. One of my frend’s son do this diligently for 1 year scored A to A star. His t score jump from 252 in P5 to 262. ( actual psle) and can go to his dream school. Worth the effort
