Oh I see......Ya, every child is different and you know your child best. Once excused from the holiday supp lessons, your DS can focus on his own revision. Might get more work done...keke

DS as usual came back with unsatisfactory EL and CL results. A handful of mistakes due to carelessness, but mostly overall can see language foundation not exactly there.


Anyone has any effective way to try to improve languages from now till PSLE? I know time is short and it is not easy to see results for languages in a short time, but I am hoping for some tips on how to improve certain sections of the EL or CL paper to assist to pull up the overall marks. Thanks in advance for the sharing.

Is your son in P5? If so, maybe can try memorizing compo using digital audio tracks+ glossary list+ printed text? My son's compo grades went from 8/20 to 16/20 from November 2010 till now. His teacher can't believe it. He has memorized 19 compos and writes an average of 1 compo in 2 weeks.

I also get grandma to read 3 newspaper articles with him everyday.

Hi chenonceau,

Impressive...your DS has a very good memory....can memorise 19 compos in a short 3 months... :salute: :salute:

Hi chenonceau,

Impressive...your DS has a very good memory....can memorise 19 compos in a short 3 months... :salute: :salute:[/quote]oh no... oh no... he can't recite any of them by heart now...

I only require him to retain chunks of 6 sentences at a time. Once he is done with 6 sentences, he calls me or comes to me to rattle them off. Once he has successfully rattled, he can proceed to forget and do the next few sentences.

At the end of the day, he will collate all the \"yummy phrases\" in a phrase book.

Somehow, when he writes compos, the required phrases emerge... that's all I want. Not full scale memorization... so not that impressive lah.

Internet Gaming time as Incentives to Memorize CL Compo ....[/quote]Nope... I never motivate with incentives. My strategies work on internal drive and disregard extrinsic motivators completely. He does it because he wants to... or at least, I engineer it so that he wants to.

We got it from Times Bookstore at Plaza Singapura. I think the March holiday has quite a numbers of shows inclusive of Gnomeo & Juliet's etc.
I’m sure they will be happy with all these shows. :celebrate:

Thanks Brenda. Will go and get the book for DD. Gnomeo & Juliet...sounds interesting....early exposure to Eng literature for the kids...keke

DS's school started with Literature last year. They studied ' I am David' and this year they are taking 'To Kill a Mocking Bird'.

Watch the shows will be much more interesting
