The Write Connection - Discussion

[Mama123]

Agree… I was bought over by their feedback and comments given for each piece of writing. My worry is I can’t catch up with the homework and correction after each session as my son is one who is still not independent to do on his own.

Hi all,

Read abt the good reviews of TWC and I’m thinking of enrolling my P3 girl who is weak in compo writing. However, the year is coming to an end and I’m still contemplating if I should let my girl join mid term in TWC (if there’s vacancy and if TWC allows), or join at the start of P4 next year. Anyone knows when does the term starts in TWC? How’s the fees structure like? And the time slot at their Bukit Timah/ Jurong East branch? Called their centres a few times but no one picks up. Sent them an enquiry through their website also no reply…

Hi mummies,


I have sent my P3 daughter to a trial class in write connection and was impressed with the work they are doing. I am now under waitlist on a Friday night 5-7pm in Parkway and I heard that there are 10 others in the waitlist. They could easily form a class but they do not have a room to start off with.

When I enquire whether there is possibility of opening a class 7-9pm on a Friday night, the personnel said that there is a chance but need to gather at least 4 students to start a class. I feel that if parents from 5-7pm knows about 7-9pm class, I am sure some will take it.

Nevertheless, I shall see whether there is anyone interested in 7-9pm Friday in this forum. Hope to hear from you.

Cheers
Dido

Me!! I've just contacted TWC-Parkway Parade, and indicated my interest to join this new class for Friday, 7-9pm for next year's P3 and P4. They only need 4 to start a class - so we just need to get two more for next year's P4. We can tell them we are registering together to get the one-off group discount!

Hi,


Does TWC teach paper 2 especially Comprehension, S&T etc? Or just simply creative writing only?

Hi,


I would like to know about it too. I’m more interested in their class for both paper I & 2 instead of writing composition every week. I would appreciate it if anyone could share your experience.

Thanks very much!

Hello Beemum,


I have managed to find out on its coverage.

- The term class will focus on Essay Writing and Comprehension techniques
- There is word quiz every week to improve on spelling and building up vocab.

Was informed there is essay writing every week. Students will learn the writing techniques and there is 30mins uninterrupted time to do the essay. Required to do draft 2.

BUT the staff did not answered my question as in are there weekly open ended comprehension?

Thank you so much for your response!

Dear parents,

Thank you so much for your interest!

Our Writing Enrichment programme adheres to the PSLE examination format for Composition. Your children will learn the language skills, strategies and techniques that will power their higher-order thinking and pursuits in life.


Dear Beemum,

Yes, there is a weekly open-ended journal for your child. Allow me to explain Draft 1, Draft 2 and Journal Writing in details:
----------------------------
Draft 1:
Students have to write Draft 1 within 30 minutes in class. This allows us to observe how students tackle a writing task and bridge their learning needs accordingly. Meticulously marked work will be returned the following week so that they can produce Draft 2 by constructively taking in their teacher’s comments.

Draft 2:
Draft 2 allows students to reflect on the teacher’s comments and their own writing process, so this is the most important piece of homework for them to complete.

Journal Writing:
This is to encourage our students to form their own views and opinions. Frequent writing can also develop the writer’s voice. Teachers will not correct this piece of work but respond to the ideas therein.
----------------------------

Does this answer your question?
