The Caribbean Primary Exit Assessment (CPEA ) is an
assessment of the key literacies required by all pupils exiting
TM
the primary school 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
TM
provide 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.
