        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... 😢

            It doesn't make sense to use pictorial stuff to teach and set exam papers that is tougher than textbook. Not exposing kids to reality.

                Hi. Can anyone advise me how to use \"Shall\" and \"Will\" ?

                Shall and will comes under modals. Modals are used for different purposes.
                Ex: to ask questions like permission to do something, to give/get advice, and to make requests...

                Shall I get you something to drink?
                Shall we have pasta to dinner tonight?

                I shall try my best in the coming spelling test.
                We shall visit the Zoo this holidays.


                Will you come with me to the doctor?
                Yes, I will.

                Sam will find it difficult to learn something new.
                Jerry will meet us today.
                You will do as you are told.

                      What I meant to say is the textbook expectation and exam paper doesn't quite tally...as such parents have to rely to assessment books to help the kids score.

                      Son is using My Pals Maths Homework Book like as in My Pals English
