Some parents feedback about their interest in compre and/or compo class so I've pushed ahead with this non-obligatory compre trial class. For full details, please head over to: https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=92344&p=1881030#p1881030


【PSLE Chinese Weekly Preparation Group Class - 悦读理解会】(Nov/Dec 2018) - Trial Classes
Fee: FREE. Each child is entitled to a total of 4 trial lessons.

Venue: 266 Serangoon North Singapore 550266

Dates: Mon 26 Nov 2018, Mon 3 Dec 2018, Mon 10 Dec 2018, Mon 17 Dec 2018

Timeslots: 普华CL组 - 2:15pm – 4pm; 高华HCL组 - 4:30pm – 6:30pm

Target Group: Primary 6 students in 2019 (i.e. 2018's Pri 5 students)

Max. capacity per class: 6 pax

Registration via Google Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/153uvJNKPhNh0sEKPfRGWHTy67Zdojl-ABpHPDub5SrU

Why the focus on comprehension? That's because the skill set involved & picked up will be applicable across various testable components:
- Reading of passage: Word recognition & pronunciation
- Answering of questions: Works on grammar & sentence structuring
- Analysation of underlying messages in passage & tackling of higher order thinking questions: Enhances critical thinking skills
Do you also know that the weight-age of comprehension sections in GCE O'Lvl CL Paper 2 is 85% (60 out of 70 marks) & 75% in GCE O'Lvl CL Paper 2 (60 out of 80 marks)? Equipping your child with the necessary skills to handle and tackle comprehension passages with ease and confidence will stand him/her in good stead in his/her journey of mastering the language and even embracing it's beauty.

Just to clarify some parent's doubt: It is not compulsory to attend all 4 lessons (you can select the dates your child will be attending in the Google Form) - although understandably, those who attend consecutive lessons will find continuity in learning and reinforcement of the skills and techniques taught. (Registration deadline for each lesson is 3 days before the lesson. Thank you.)

Average vacancies:
CL --- 3
HCL --- 4

Happy weekend, everyone!

Same situation here, i remembered that the school has the final say in deciding when it comes to P6. But if marks are close, can appeal.


Also sharing a tip on how i encourage my children to read previously - find out what they like to read, then find it for them (because they won’t). Slowly they will start picking up the habit of reading. This can be comics, novels, crime and mystery, etc.

Bochapmum3:

Comparing between normal Chinese zuowen and HCL zuowen, is there a different standard in marking? Does the child usually score higher in normal Chinese zuowen?

Actually, the rubrics (i.e. marking criteria) that is used when it comes to marking compo is the same for CL & HCL. If there's any difference, it's in terms of the exact mark that is awarded under each level due to the 'higher expectation' (e.g. a compo that is considered 等级‘二’ for 表达&结构 may be awarded 16 marks in CL but 'only' awarded 14 in HCL).

Have anyone start buy/order past year paper 2018 hard copies here?

Su,
No need to buy so early.

Best buy when school starts in Jan. Buy all subj required at sch bookshops. They're cheaper by 50% and u're more assured those are the ones teacher's will use. Most schools will do actual immediate past year paper & not the topical ones.

For those staying near Novena and looking to sign up for some holiday programs for their P5s, can try Zhou’s academic studio (beside United Sq)


Both my girls attended their hol programs and their feedback was highly positive, especially their Chinese oral class.

As the Bukit Timah branch is run by another staff, I do not know if there’s any teaching difference between the centres.

[phtthp]

Anyone can recommend an effective place, for component English Oral ? Thank you, in advance.


(can pm me)
