Thanks a bunch people, for your encouraging words. I'm already feeling better. Will identify and work on the weak areas as you said. Hopefully by SA1 things will be brighter.

DS got his CA1 marks. So dissapointing. Especially maths 70 marks. Says he lost heavily in paper 2. Not yet brought the paper home so I don't yet know where and why he lost the marks.

We have been using OnSponge and Conquer Maths and generally he was able to solve the problems. But when it came to past year top 10 schools he was not able to solve a couple of problems from Paper 2 and also not enough time to finish the paper.
How do I help him to improve his marks in Maths Paper 2 ? :roll:
Generally he used to score in 80s for his maths CA/SA.
Sometimes I hear about students jumping from B to A* and C to A from CA1 to PSLE, how to achive this? :?:

I guess still need to ask him to do more papers, especially paper 2. For those questions he doesn't know, copy to somewhere and re-do after a month.

[quote=\"Chenonceau\"]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.

Where do you get digital audio tracks?

I get Grandma to record them on the computer. All computers have a sound recorder tool. You need a microphone and then you save the file in th hard disk. I also have them on my iPAD so that he can listen and memorize on the go.

If you want, I can pass you the audio tracks I already have. You'll have to go and buy the book though, from dangdang.com. It's a collection of student model compositions written by PRC students. It's a lot of hard work for my son.[/quote]

Solly solly... Coming. Be warned though... It is horribly difficult and super tedious. And the book itself won't help unless the kid is really committed to plough through it. It helps to keep the feedback loop short. Hear the child recite after every 4 sentences and praise heaps... Then, give the child a crowning victory by getting him to read the compo at the end and when the reading is fluent, as it will be... go over the top in appreciation. This gives the kid enough encouragement to persist. No need to ask kid to recite WHOLE compo. Pass by his table every now and then and hug ... Pick up random phrases as you pass and ask for explanation... Then look impressed that he actually knows.

I use other techniques too but these are the more obvious ones.
