Parent Q&A 9

Q:

My son is in P5. He always did fine in Chinese, but this time he lost many marks in Paper 2. P6 is coming — how can I help him?

A:

The P5 → P6 transition is when many children drop in scores.


Common reasons:


• Harder passages
• Understands story but answers incorrectly
• More vocabulary mistakes
• Not reading questions carefully


It’s not that your child is weaker — the syllabus becomes tougher.




The key is identifying the real learning gaps


We assess:
• Vocabulary level
• Ability to catch key points
• Careless reading vs misunderstanding
• Confidence when answering


Once the root cause is clear, improvement becomes easier.




What your child needs for P6:


• Clear reading strategies
• A simple answer structure
• Stronger vocabulary
• A small group where mistakes are corrected quickly


With the right guidance, P6 scores can stabilise — and even improve.
