Q&A - P2 English

[plum-cake]

Hi plum-cake,

My hubby came back after the P1 briefing...told me a lot of stuff to be expected

The principal told the parents that work will be done in school as anything brought home is likely to be done by parents. I like this :love:
The girls have to borrow 4 books - 2 English, 2 Chinese, which parents are encouraged to read to them.

Hey, my girl likes 'My Pals' Eng Homework Book. It was easier to get her attention as compared to Conquer...maybe bcos the print font is friendlier.

Hi Janet,

Yes. same here. thats why I bought the books from learners and study helpers. big print, pictures. for P2 you can go for step up grammar cos colour ful pics and explenation. look for part 3, 4. have alook inside the book before you buy. casco primary english is also okay....

Hi plum-cake,

I started her on My Pals Eng Homework A…it was certainly a breeze moving on. Son told me he also did the same book when he was in P1.
Most prob I will get My Pals Eng Homework for P2 if avail…if not, then it will be the Step up Grammar you mentioned…thanks.

From the Eng worksheets brought home from school, I realized my gal doesn’t write capital letters for first letter as well as proper nouns. Her teacher also wrote comments about it.
Will try to move faster for English in order to reinforce the importance of capital letters.

Yes that's the first lesson they teach after teaching nouns... capital letter is also part of grammar. I'll check the my pals eng homework next time. but not going to buy any thing.... loads of books just sitting and watching me every time I go to her room but I have an eye on the con science :lol:

Hi plum-cake,

I have loads of brand new books sitting on the shelf and watching when I take one of them out to be written on. Get excited when I see new publication :roll: now hope these books won't be white elephants trumpeting on the shelves.
If time permits, I'll buy the Conquer Science at the next possible opportunity. I think YOU AND I can shake hands bcos we are truly QUEENS of assessment books. :rotflmao:

My opinion.

For grammar

I like step up grammar because the explenation is good. It has a colourful learning section, to practice I have many books but .... sorry I don't have any EPH, my pals for english :oops: Most of them are from learners. then casco one oxfd comprehension.study helpers vocab and comprehension. But I have conquer titles from p1,p2
grammar,vocab,comprehension, cloze, editing n punc, synth n trans etc etc.

Yes, lower primary children need more pictorial info to hold their attention. For a minute, I thought that page came from 'Teachers' Production' or 'Basic Grammar Guide'.

I get Conquer titles for Grammar, Vocab, Synthesis & Transformation & Comprehension for my son in P5...for Cloze though, I get Casco English Grammar Vocabulary Comprehension Cloze. It's a no-brainer thing (Conquer ie) as I trust Teachers@work.

What to do. in the school they teach from My Pals and set the exam papers look similar to assesment books. brainy ones. so we parents have to buy extra assesment books to teach.

I will buy the science for now. then will get a divorce from popular... I will only re-consider him after SA2...
