If you’ve got a Primary 6 child in Singapore, you already know: PSLE English isn't just about knowing grammar — it's about applying it. The Paper 2 comprehension, composition writing, and oral communication sections require serious strategy.
The good news? The right assessment books can help your child prep like a pro.
🇸🇬 Why PSLE English Is Tough (and Getting Tougher)
The PSLE English paper is broken into multiple components:
|
Section |
What It Tests |
|
Paper 1 |
Composition & situational writing |
|
Paper 2 |
Grammar, vocabulary, comprehension |
|
Oral |
Reading aloud & picture discussion |
|
Listening |
Audio comprehension |
MOE has steadily shifted towards contextual language application, critical thinking in comprehension, and creative writing — especially in composition topics that aren’t “model essay” friendly anymore.
