Olibits is an independent learning platform and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Ministry of Education. See our FAQ for the full breakdown.
Where students commonly get stuck
- Tense consistency and subject-verb agreement across longer sentences.
- Inference questions in comprehension passages, where the answer isn't stated directly in the text.
- Synthesis & transformation, keeping the original meaning while changing the sentence structure.
Parent tip
For comprehension, ask your child to point to the exact sentence that answers an inference question before they answer it. It turns a guess into a habit of finding evidence in the text.
