Give your child a head start in English

Pre A1 Starters is the first of three Cambridge Assessment English: Young Learners tests which are designed for children between the ages of 7 and 12. Pre A1 Starters is the beginning of your child’s language learning adventure. It introduces your child to both written and spoken English in an enjoyable and motivating way.

The Young Learners tests are specifically designed with the interests of schoolchildren in mind, so stimulating their motivation to learn English. Based on familiar topics, the tests give your child the confidence they need, and inspire them to do well.

Make learning English fun and stimulating

Designed to be both fun and motivating, the Pre A1 Starters test gives your child the confidence to show what they can do in English. Pre A1 Starters leads naturally on to A1 Movers, which is the next level text, so encouraging your child to develop their language learning and make progress.

Your child is further motivated and encouraged when they receive their Pre A1 Starters test results

There is no pass or fail. All children receive an award which shows how many shields they have received. The maximum score is five shields for each part of the test.

A Pre A1 Starters award is a great way to:

celebrate children’s achievement
build their confidence
·reward their own individual ability.

A result of one shield means a child can improve a lot in that skill. Five shields mean that a child did very well in that skill and answered most questions correctly.

Children should be ready to start preparing for the next Cambridge English exam – A1 Movers – if they achieve a total of 10 or 11 shields, or above.

Advantages for schools, teachers and parents:

preparation for the Young Learners tests can be connected to the existent school curriculum,
learners receive certificates showing their knowledge on an internationally accepted scale and are motivated to learn further,
individual schools create added value as they offer the learners in their environment an opportunity to gain language education similar to that which schools from larger towns can offer,
by providing additional language education, a school influences the future development of its region beneficially and achieves greater interconnection on state and international levels,
teachers who take part in preparing their learners for the tests have an opportunity to improve their professional knowledge both at their own school and in a wider context,
parents acquire external feedback about the progress of their child and value the effort their school puts into motivating the children to continue learning a foreign language and into offering additional activities to its learners.
