How coaching works on these topics

Every topic in the list below can be opened in coaching mode, which walks through the same four stages rather than dropping a child in front of a blank page.

The pictures are read first and discussed: what is happening, who is involved, what changes from frame to frame. That becomes a mind map, so the shape of the story is decided before any sentence is written. Vocabulary is gathered next, chosen for the story rather than recalled at random. Then the writing itself, followed by a self-check and a comparison against a model composition.

There is no clock and no penalty for stopping. A topic can be left half-finished and resumed, and the same topic can be worked through more than once.

Choosing a topic

The topics span the everyday situations PSLE picture compositions are drawn from — family, school, community, festivals, accidents and small acts of help. Working across several kinds rather than repeating a favourite is the point: the exam picks the picture, not the candidate.

A coached topic takes most children somewhere between twenty and forty minutes end to end, which makes one a week a realistic pace across a school term. Getting through all 49 matters far less than finishing the ones that are started, since the stage a child tends to abandon is usually the stage that needs the practice.
