How many Tamil words should my child know for PSLE?

There is no official word count target for PSLE Tamil. However, students who have built a vocabulary of 800–1000 active Tamil words by PSLE year are well-positioned for all components. This is achievable with consistent daily vocabulary practice from Primary 2 onwards.

What is the best way to help my child remember Tamil vocabulary?

Spaced repetition combined with contextual use — learning words in sentences and encountering them in reading — produces the strongest long-term retention. TamilBuddySG's Vocabulary Builder uses spaced repetition automatically, so students review words at the optimal intervals for memory consolidation.
