Interviewing Skills – Grade One Admission
Interview preparation programs exist for children as young as 3 years old!
TDP Bridge to School Interview Skills course offers insight into what children are assessed on and prepare them accordingly.
Areas of Development for Toddlers
1Understanding Simple Instructions
- The most important aspect of an interview is the child’s ability to understand and follow simple instructions.
- The teachers check the lateral thinking ability of the child along with the manner that he responds to difficulty and his/her confidence level.
2Response & Communication
- During the interview, a teacher will often toss a question out to the group of children to see who will respond. Some kids will be quiet, while others will be very excited trying to get their answers heard.
- Children are asked, in some cases about their family members, where they live, when their birthday is and the puzzle or activity they are playing with.
- Our programme is designed to help encourage children to develop confidence, fluency, and better speaking and communication skills through engagement in stories, pictures and theme-based learning, putting them ahead of the class!
- Our TDP programme can be considered as a complementary course to the interviewing skills programme.
3Colours, Numbers, Letters, and Shapes
- Children are expected to be able to identify and draw basic shapes like rectangle, square, triangle and circle.
- They may also be tested on number and letter recognition. While they will not be asked to do any writings, they are expected to be able to write and/or spell their names.
- For children with a long name, such as Elizabeth, parents may consider teaching them the short form,
4Draw & Tell
- Another popular interview activity is to get the children to draw a picture and talk about what they have drawn. The objective of this exercise is not to test how well the children can draw, but rather to assess how articulate and descriptive they are.
- Children may also be shown a picture and asked to describe the picture. For tips on how to describe a picture,
5Recall story details
- During the interview, a teacher will often read a story and children will then be asked questions relating to the story. Questions such as “Who was in the story?”, “What happened in the story?”, “When did it happen?”, “Do you like the story and why?” etc.
- For tips on how to answer questions relating to a story or how to tell a story,
