The Caribbean Primary Exit Assessment (CPEA ) is an assessment of
the key literacies required by all pupils exiting the primary school
TM
system. A major component of the CPEA involves the use of Projects,
Writing Portfolios, Journals and Book Reports to develop pupils’
language literacy skills.

TM
The CPEA Story Writing Competition was conceptualised to provide
TM
pupils participating in the CPEA an opportunity to create stories that
would be read by a regional audience of their peers. The project is
aimed at identifying short stories, written by pupils, which can be used
as reading materials by other pupils. By providing pupils with an
authentic audience for their stories, they will become more motivated
to write. Additionally, this activity provides an avenue to unearth
pupils writing potentials and talents.
