Q&A - P2 English

[janet88]

Hi plum-cake,

If there is SA2 for P2, what title of Eng assessment book would you get to prepare your daughter ? Would it be 1) Challenging English 4-in-1 by M.Rani or 2) Primary 2 Complete Practice Book for Grammar, Vocabulary & Comprehension by Josephine Yeo or 3) Home Study English (Study Helpers) by Loh Tee Yang ?

Thanks.

My dd finished the conq. comprehension so I got the vocabulary and comprehension by (Study Helpers) by Bebe Cheng & Loh Tee Yang.
top of that I have past yr papers. for english I have loads of work books. :lol: yes there is SA1 and SA2 in her sch.

is this \" Primary 2 Complete Practice Book for Grammar, Vocabulary & Comprehension by Josephine Yeo \" from EPH? I Have fairfeild A complete guide ( with practice) to english. ( I gave a lot of books(P1) to one of my neighbour aunty. she gave me this book to my dd) I didn even go through it.

Fortunately the P2 books I have for her is just 8 books.
Yup the P2 Complete Practice Book is by Josephine Yeo (EPH). It has CA1 and 2, SA1 and 2. Went through Loh Tee Yang's Home Study 1 and found it's not bad and that other one is the English Practice.

BTW, there is this mummy whom I talked to regarding assessment books at Popular last night. She loves to check out new publications (like us) although her son is in K2.

I would recommend the following electronic dictionary, my P2 DS uses it, and I think he could have used it in P1 (he detests manual dictionaries). This one is superb and has synonyms and anntonyms too. It is inexpensive too, some £31 GBP or about $90 SD.

He was adept at the exercies. However, in February I moved him to P3 and he struggles a little, as the cloze exercies are a little harder. He also does the P3 Challenging 4-in-1 English by EPH. In fact he hated doing some vocab exercises in his after-school club today as he took his hardback dictionary, and not the electronic one he prefers.

However, if your DC finds P2 straightforward, I would stretch them with P3. I also possess the English Practice books by Jean Chua - I do not find them challenging enough. However, P1 English Practice is a good resource for my K2 DS2.

Hi optimistforum,

I prefer Challenging English 4-in-1. It’s good practice. For Josephine Yeo’s Complete Practice Book, the space is a little small for comprehension. Usually buy separate assessment books for synthesis, grammar, vocab etc.
