English Assessment Books

That title by Rosemary Allen was my son’s ‘companion’ for several years. I bought it every year for 4 years.


Daughter is weak in cloze…I bought ‘cloze practice’ by Marshall cavendish and another one by Casco…‘how to…’

For son, he is facing a new english syllabus at Sec 1. …there are not many titles in Popular.

Indeed. I noticed only a tiny collection of Sec school assessment books. Wonder where can we browse a bigger collection

I was informed the Popular branch at Lot 1 is bigger...as well as Clementi mall.

Think that can be DIY. Pick sentences fr storybks and scrambled. Have a mixed of proper and common nouns.

Somehow I feel that the approach to mastering languages is different from Maths. (more) Practice doesn’t make perfect, unlike Maths.


Doing more cloze or compre exercises don’t seem to help much.

Or am I the only one with this observation?

It does help...especially for cloze. Surprisingly, my son is good in comprehension cloze but very careless for grammar cloze with past perfect tense and past participle.

Agree with you for my son's case. Read a lot is better than doing more cloze or compre exercises.
