This is a Sinhala-language book, written and printed entirely in Sinhala for pupils sitting the Grade Five scholarship examination in Sri Lanka. Buyers outside the country should know that before ordering: there is no English text in it.
It belongs to the Gunasena Shishyathwa Thaksalawa series of targeted question-and-answer collections, and is made up of sets of practice papers at Grade Five level. The series moves through stages, and the Emerald Edition follows on from the General, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond Editions, intended for a child who has worked through those earlier books and is ready for harder practice.
The compilers are Sajith Abeysekara and Kasun Ganewaththa, teachers with experience in primary education. Both completed the National Diploma in Teaching at the Hapitigama National College of Education in Meerigama.
The scholarship examination is a fixture of Sri Lankan primary schooling, and papers of this kind are how most families prepare for it at home — timed sets worked through alongside school lessons. This edition is published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a Colombo publisher of Sinhala and English educational books.
It will suit Sinhala-reading households preparing a child for the examination, including families abroad who want their children working from the same material used in Sri Lanka, and teachers or tutors looking for additional papers at this level.
