Performing Text
Students sitting these examinations learn how to interpret text when reading aloud. This is excellent preparation for public speaking. This examination provides opportunities for students to practice memorising and performing text. These exams are great for developing an understanding of the written word.
‘Fantastic results. Absolutely delighted. Please congratulate your team on outstanding results!’
