To help their children achieve success in this exam, parents play an important role in creating a learning environment and supporting their children to practice for the exam at home. Below are useful suggestions that parents can do to help their children be confident and prepare well for these tests.

Building a lovely and comfortable learning space for children is the first important step. Provide desks, books, pencils and appropriate study materials to promote your child’s interest in learning and willingness to self-review.
- Set up a regular study schedule
Create a specific and stable study schedule to help your child have regular study habits. The study schedule should include time to review and do homework at increasing levels, customized to suit your child’s ability and learning pace.
- Learn about exam questions and study materials
Parents should carefully read through the Starters, Movers or Flyers test and clearly understand the structure and content of the test. Learn about appropriate study materials such as textbooks, sample exam questions and supplementary study materials to support your child’s review process.
- Enhance listening and speaking skills
Help your child improve their listening and speaking skills by listening to audio recordings and watching movies or videos in English for children. Encourage your child to participate in speaking activities such as role-playing, chatting and simulating communication situations.
- Practice reading and writing
Provide your child with plenty of reading materials appropriate to their level. Encourage your child to read books, articles and answer related questions to strengthen reading comprehension skills. Suggest your child write short essays or diaries every day to practice writing skills.
