How can my child improve PSLE Chinese (听写, oral and composition)?

PSLE Chinese rewards consistent vocabulary building: regular 听写 (spelling) practice, a stock of 成语 and good phrases for composition, and daily speaking for the oral. Short, frequent practice beats last-minute cramming for a language paper.

Make practice a daily habit

Vocabulary and 成语 stick through spaced repetition and use in sentences, and oral improves only by speaking. Use themed word lists and idiom lists for 听写 and composition, and let your child practise conversation with a patient tutor — LearnBuddy supports Chinese 汉字, 听写 and oral practice.

How can my child memorise 听写 more easily?
Practise little and often with themed word lists, write each word in a sentence so it has meaning, and revisit missed words a few days later (spaced repetition).
