Q&A - P2 English

[janet88]

Hi plum-cake,

I went to IMM just now to get the Creative Writing P5-6 for my son.
At the same time, checked out ‘study helpers’ you mentioned. Under ‘study helpers’, it is not found in their computer system…fortunately one of the guys helped me to locate it.
Bought one ‘study helpers’ last year by Loh Tee Yang but it’s for CA/SA. The other one is ‘English Practice’ by Agnes Chew is good for weekly practice.

Thanks for the recommendation

Hi Brenda,
I ran through the stack of compo books on the shelves and since son likes the Creative Writing P5-6 (pink cover) by Success, might as well get it. Secondary school reference books are much more ex

Didn't get Thinking Skills...rather tough. Controlled myself just now by getting 'Practice English' for P2 and P5...couldn't find P6. Also got 'Success in Comprehension'...but didn't see the one for Vocabulary from study helpers. Any idea if it's avail for P2 pls ?

Hi plum-cake,

I’m looking at the P2 books I got for daughter.
From what I see, I am short of a Grammar and Vocab assessment book.
Just curious, is Grammar & Vocab available under the ‘study helpers’ range ? If not, then will have to get Conquer.

Hi, Janet.
Study helpers are from Marshall and Cavendish. Yes under Study helpers the grammar practice is a seperate book. Grammar Practice Author : Tay Eng Hiang I didn buy that. for the voabulary it comes with comprehension title says Vocabulary and Comprehension. Success In Comprehension (Note: Revised edition.this book the cover has changed and coming as Success in Comprehension but same author Manda Pullen and with out the study helpers on the corner), English Practice ,
most of the titles' revised edition comes with different cover. For the grammar I think Marshall and Cavendish has new study guide for p1/2 under \"my pals are here\" and seperate work books for p1 and p2. title reads as Grammar work book by Ng Theresa

For the vocab, you can have a look at Reading Smart By rosalind fergussen Learners' publisher. It covers comprehension, reading, vocab.. color pictures. one page of useful words and phrases. each word with meaning and example. 3 levels of books good for p1/2.( my op )

Conquer titles are good for practice. I prefer pictures and explenation for teaching.

Dear plum-cake,

Thank you so much for the detailed titles you've provided.
I do get 2 different type of Eng workbooks for my gal...Conquer (w/out pics) is for reinforcement while the 'My Pals' English Homework is for teaching...having a kid now is so expensive. Just assessment book alone can kill :roll:

Hi Brenda,

You mentioned going to Popular yesterday. Did you get anything ?

Hi Janet

No. I manage to drop the idea of getting P6 related book like Casio 6B Tutor or Visible 6. I observe those daily maths worksheet given by the school should be sufficient to cover for revision and I am looking forward to get Casio 1A Tutor (Secondary School) after September. :lol:
