For 完成对话, I've reminded my son not to strike out anything even though he has filled in the option he thinks is correct...bcos at the end, he may not be correct. He needs to score high marks for Section A as each question is worth 2 marks.

After the revision, I was like,\"Errr..P3 is really a big jump from P2! Why didn't I prepare her during P2 time when school work load is lighter and she has more free time?\" Now it is like fighting with time to learn many things at one go and before you know it, SA1 is round the corner lioa :stupid:

For 完成对话, it's tricky and for kids from English speaking homes, it's worse. So it's best to read the 'reply' for hints as to what the most suitable answer may be. Sometimes that hint can be found in the 'reply'.

P3 is a jump from P2 (lower primary)...it's hard to prepare her for P3. Even though I did P3 work with my son before school reopened back then, that preparation did not help. The CA1 shocked him then, just like the CA1 this time.

This is another one that I bought; so tempting that once you stepped into Popular, there seems to be endless aseessment books to buy :faint: But find this one will suit my DD1 as they are all in MCQ questions and thus spare her from writings & she able to manage this one on her own without any supervision :lol:

Hi Parents,

Any other recommendations on Grammar and Vocab Assessment books?

Many Thanks.

Hi teh-oh,
The following book is recommended by other parents in the P1/P2 thread. As for P3, If I don't remember wrongly the cover of the book should be this one. Or you can pop by Popular to take a look - the next up level should be blue in colour.

GO to their webpage and they do show you a preview of the content page and sample page.

Hi Champion,

The Learners title 'English Grammar for Students' is a reference/guide book for parents to teach the kids on basic Grammar rules. If I were to compare between this Learners title and Teachers' Production, I would choose the latter as it comprises both Grammar and Vocab...more useful in my opinion.

Anyway the blue one (P1/2) looks like this.

I like this other 2 titles for Grammar and Vocab.

Hi Janet,

Thanks so much for your clarification once again; appreciates so much :thankyou:

I have spent this morning (about 2.5 hours) with DD1 for the Chinese. I really feel so tired and decided to log onto this webpage to take a break

DD1 did the 3 following books:
(1) 小三华文每课复习 P3A - 怡学出版社. Author:陈岩 (unable to find the pic to upload)


(2) http://postimage.org/image/ntnqx7o/

(3) http://postimage.org/image/1es85ihfo/

DD1 managed to complete the Term 1 topics in Book (1) and (3) as she has been doing most of them but was very lazy to do Book (2) as I just bought her this recently

In my own opinion - Book (3) covers more 项目 so the questions are more challenging. Book (1) is much easier and the 阅读理解 and 理解问答 are simpler but book (1) has the closer to DD1 CA1 exam format :roll:

I did a simple comparison chart between the 项目 between the 3 books but is in Excel format and I don't know how to upload here to share with parents here :slapshead: ..I can be label as an \"IT Idiot\" as Hubby always commented :rotflmao:

HI Champion,

No worries...exchanging some tips on assessment books is fun

http://postimage.org/image/v68bs5tw/

You may want to take a look at the 2nd one and consider as it's not EPH or Victoria.

[janet88]

Hi Champion,

You may want to consider these other titles. Personally, I prefer Cai Yun Fei, Huang Hai Jun and Wei Yuan (Victoria). First 2 authors are from EPH.
The impt sections are hanyu pinyin (choosing the correct option), duan wen tian kong, wan cheng dui hua, bian zi ce yan, wan cheng ju zi and of course OE comprehension.

Hi janet_lee88,
Can you elaborate more on this 'Teachers' Production'? Is it the same as Teachers@work?
Thanks.

Hi Champion,
I have the (2) book as well. Although I find that the sections inside are quite basic and is tempted to buy yet another book, I still have other books to be completed. :roll: The sections in this book is similar to my child's school exam format too.

I bought the SAP MCQ CL Vocab and Bian Zhi Che Yan (Chinese Word Usage) to supplement the above book. It is in MCQ format, so very 'user friendly'.

Hi janet_lee88,
Is hanyu pinyin (choosing the correct option), wan cheng dui hua, wan cheng ju zi part of 'PSLE' format? The above are not in my child's school exam format since last year, so I tend to choose books that does not emphasize these sections. Another one is the 'matching' of phrases (eg 'yao bai' match to 'sheng ti' etc). Are these important?
Many thanks.

Hi Janet,
Thanks for your advice again - I have the 1st one - bought from IMM Popular last week when the other time you recommended to use

Heee...another good \"excuse\" to go Popular again - I will go comb thru books by above authors before deciding whether to buy :lol: Guess DD1 has enough at the moments
