Fluency mode vs correction mode — never mix

The single parent-coaching habit that separates productive practice from confidence-killing practice. Fluency mode is live and silent; correction mode is on playback only.

PSLE Oral · parent practice technique

Two modes — never mix

Fluency mode builds; correction mode polishes

Fluency mode

During the answer · live

Parent

Stays silent · zero interruptions

Child

Speaks all the way through · whatever comes out, comes out

What it fixes

Builds the speak-under-pressure system the exam tests

Correction mode

Afterwards · on playback

Parent

Flags what the child missed · scaffolds the fix

Child

Catches most errors themselves once speaking load is gone

What it fixes

Fixes specific errors without breaking confidence

Mix them and you get neither fluency nor a fix.PSLEPrep.sg
