[Yong HL,

I would recommend the Oxford Junior Illustrated Dictionary (and the Oxford Junior Illustrated Thesaurus) both of which are available from Popular. They are very child-friendly: big, colourful, lovely illustrations, list of the alphabet letters down the margin for easy lookup.

Synthesis is about connectors, for eg, and/because/where to begin with.
Daughter's teacher started on 'because' just before Term 1 ended.

Janet, thanks.


How to revise synthesis with my daughter? Is there any english assessment books purely on synthesis?

I have already over bought a lot of english assesment books for my girl already.

Yes, there is an assessment book just purely on Synthesis.
Just bought this title 'Conquer Synthesis' for P1...simple exercises. I find it better than Longman Synthesis.

Janet that is fast reply.


Later i will go popular and see. You are assessment expert.:)
Did you count how many books you bought for your daughter already?
I have bought about 30 books for my girl and excluding test paper.

Because I just bought the book 2 or 3 days ago...was holding the book and thinking whether to get or not to. Think the security cameras inside Popular must have been watching this crazy woman putting it down and picking it again. :stupid:
Don't have 30 books for daughter, but easily more than 30 for my son going to P6 next year...esp Chinese compo and Maths.

[lizuan76]

Janet, no worry you are not the only one. Whenever i went to popular i also do that, take and put back and than take again but most of the time end up will be buying.


I dun't think can finish all the assessment books by end of the year.:( Have to stop buying assessment books for this year.

Hi, My DD1 is currently using this dictionary and she also has the other one by Oxford. I find this Longman dictionary - the explanation is more detailed and words are easier for student to understand.

Above just my own opinion - to share with you all
