  • Activate child’s interest – Go to the library
  • together. Show/give your child books about their

special interests or hobbies. Allow your child to choose books to read and reread. TIPS FOR PARENTS: READING & SPEAKING

  • Teach your child to select and read texts at his/her level:

reading texts that are too difficult can be frustrating; texts that are too easy are not challenging.

  • Set aside time for your child to read every day – at least

30 minutes a day.

  • Read to and with your child or have your child read to
  • you. Encourage your child to talk about books that

he/she has just read (ie. story/characters etc.).

  • Suggest that your child give a different ending to the

story read.

  • Model the use of Standard English when communicating

with him/ her. Do not attempt to correct their mistakes by repeating their mistakes. Model the right language instead.

  • Read and write notes/messages in front of your child. Let

them have ample writing opportunities as well.

  • In addition to doing worksheets and assessment books,

English language learning requires frequent exposure to listening, speaking, reading and writing opportunities and activities. TIPS FOR PARENTS: READING & SPEAKING

  • Provide

ample English language reading materials at home. Introduce your child to a variety

  • f

texts (e.g. game instructions, recipes, comic books, catalogues, toy advertisements, magazines and newspapers etc.)

  • The GEP Screening and Selection Exercises will be based on the

Primary 1 to Primary 3 English Language and Mathematics syllabuses.

  • The GEP Identification Exercise aims to identify suitable pupils with

high intellectual potential.

  • We strongly discourage test-preparation activities as these could

inflate pupils’ scores and not reflect their actual potential.

  • Pupils who are not ready to handle the intellectual rigour and

demands of the programme will struggle with the enriched curriculum and not benefit fully from it. This would put undue stress

  • n the pupils, and may even cause them to lose confidence and

impact their self-esteem.
