[quote=\"Trapwithin\"]I think EPH has assessment for CL Comprehension called Yue Du Li Jie that is pretty good.

This is one of dd's Compre books. It's not enough. She is coping well with questions in this book. I am afraid to go higher levels cos I don't want to cause her to lose interest. Furthermore, I think it's more than just practising Compre assessments to score for the OE Compre sections. Rote learning doesn't work in this case. They have to analyse in CHINESE, then express their thoughts out logically and comprehensibly. If these kids are eloquent in Chinese, I believe it's half the battle won.

That means no short-cut no drilling? .. then will have to cultivate CL reading habits.[/quote]Able to analyse is very impt.

I bou a sec sch lvl reading book (consists of well known authors) for my elder boy.

One article has an interesting analogy: Mr X carries in his arm peaches n eggs and walks in a busy street.

What do u understand from this?

To my elder boy, he took it literally and ignores the context of the article which was to illustrate how hard is it to live in a society with your moral values intact.

I think PH compreh passages are trying to impart some moral values. So I intend to sieve out these types of passages to practice with my boy.

Thank you, Happy Mama, don't think she is that superduper. Haha. She tried her best and that's good enough. Yes, I missed those stickers too. Haha. This year's FT's not in that habit. Kudos to your dd for her results. I've seen the CL paper. In general, the passages are pitched at P3's readability and understanding but the answering skills are beyond them. I don't think they are taught in advance in class on how to tackle these questions. Even if we had exposed them to good HCL compre assessment books, they are still not equipped to answer PH's questions' requirements.

Yes most importantly, our kids have tried their best with minimal careless mistakes.

I haven't read the CL compre passage yet. Actually I dread reading CL passages (but I can't tell this to DD). So got to pretend I enjoy reading CL passages in order not to kill her interest since she's still got a long way to go for CL.

Other than Compre, she got full marks for the rest of the section in Paper 2. :stupid:

Wow that's very good. Well done.
You just need to focus more on OE Comprehension.

Thanks Trapwithin.

So far she only has 1 CL assessment and it's only 10% done. I'd better start shopping for CL OE Compre books for her. Otherwise, I cannot imagine what she's gonna get for SA2. :nailbite:

We started to give her a complete 1 hour \"do as you like\" time daily - half an hour in the morning and half an hour at night. Not that I am taskmaster, just that like many kids, my dd \"Space-out\" (Daydream) a lot and takes her time to do her stuff.

Hey I do that too for ds. It's called his 'daily time to play any gory computer games he fancies' period. This will be followed by an hr of piano practice to undo the damage that those computer games did to his brain.

Hee hee but I still control her computer time to weekend only.
She can play lego, read books, draw, etc

I cannot imagine how DD is going to handle (H)CL OE Compre in Pri 5 and Pri 6. :scared:

完成句子，
“小白兔懂事乖巧，大家都听它的话”句子十分恰当。却扣掉2分。
乖巧的意思是： ①（言行等）合人心意；讨人喜欢：为人～。②机灵：
造句，利用，dd用“利用时间”是对的，老师把这四个字划了红线并被扣分。

I also think the whatever waves from the electronic devices mess up his mind, he gets agitated easily.

My elder boy only plays an hour of computer game on weekends/hols- an agreement we made since P5/P6. I wish my P4 boy will be like this too :xedfingers:
