2019 PSLE Discussions and Strategies (Children born in 2007)

[MrsKiasu]

tigger18, maybe supplement it with some online bits of courses/ sections eg fm lil but mighty? a member was kind to share with me part of it..and I find it helps my dd as dd is weak in all areas too..it has helped her in some basic rules..I was thinking of subscribing for it so that can access its online teachings together with one or 2 more available..totally forgotten abt it..shall do that soon..just to give you some feel..she was able to pull it up by few more marks to cross the 70s though still at the lower layer but my fear of her failing has reduced greatly or eliminated lor :oops:


to add: dd is really weak in the subject though that is the longest running tuition she is having..guess due to own shortcomings, she got lost..so even the easiest presentation and maybe compact? able to help her..it may not be only the lilbutmighty but that is the only one we somehow got hold with when shared by a member and I personally find it helpful..you guys got to do some assessment first hor

My girls were also weak in languages. While I outsource Chinese (cos I realise my own teachings do not help), I coach my kids in EL using online resources. In the interest of time and to maximise results, I often target grammar rules, synthesis rules and drill into their heads since P4 and build more complicated grammar rules/nuances from there. Vocal is a black box, you don’t know what will come out in exams but surely grammar/compre close can be aced by having strong grammar knowledge. For compo, I am grateful the sch tchr provided lots of past students model compo for them to read.

Hope this helps.

Suggest strengthen S&T and grammar sections. These two are rule-based and can be mastered within a very short period of time.

Tigger18,


Personally, I’ll look at my kid’s results, if 65 and below I’ll work on foundations.

Get specific books that has rules and examples and repeated drills

Booklet A
1. Grammer mcq
2. Vocab mcq
3. CLoze passage mcq

Booklet B
1. Grammar cloze
2. Editing & Spelling
3. S&T

These components have the most rules to learn. Get your tutor to teach specifically, drill and review.

No point of doing countless papers if he or she is not aware of why she is making the mistakes.

Yes, MyPillow. This revised weightage came into effect in 2017.
