Didn't see your posts for a while...thought you went for holiday .

No...I am really running after my dd trying to complete next term syllabus and english writing with creativity...

janet_lee88:

A close friend recommended me Longman Grammar. However, I won't be getting anymore for P1/5.
One title which I like is 'Expand Vocabulary' by C Emmanuel (EPH). The glossary of words & synonyms are useful and I kept the assessment even after it is completed (usually I dump when they are completed). I found it in the '3 for $10' open shelf section last year.

I didn go to popular/Marshall Cavendish(times) sale this time, cos got really \"more than enough\" books for my P2 girl. so we are just doing them at home. weather is also not co-operating... to go for outdoor activities..very hot...

I am thinking of buying Longman grammar, science, math together as a pack (25% off) at popular for P3.....so I might take a look at this book 'Expand Vocabulary' by C Emmanuel (EPH). tomorrow I am going to that PC show.... to buy a desktop....then you can see me very often....
:snuggles: thank you!

you have to be careful of the stuff you get in the PC Show. The merchants know that people thinks PC Show is a bargain and buy buy buy. I've heard reports that they jack up the price during the show. So it's actually more expensive to buy at the show. Best to take a trip to Sim Lim Square to check out the prices first.

Hi plum-cake,

I think most of us here have sufficient assessment for the rest of the year

As for PC shows, do be careful and watch out for prices.
These shows are actually the lot of 'Sim Lim' vendors grouped together.
Hope to see you more often here. Enjoy the holidays. :boogie:

Hi plum-cake,

Have you bought your PC yet ? I sure hope to 'see' you here more often. We are partners where assessment books are concerned :evil:
Hubby went to PC show yesterday and he couldn't take the crowd.

Which warehouse sale did you go to ? Where is it pls ?
Let me know if there is one next year ok ?
I've stopped buying assessment books this year in the meantime...really need to control. That sms from Popular regarding sale at Bras Basah doesn't entice me. Trying to finish up the P1 assessment books now. Just finished the Home Study English this morn :rahrah: :rahrah:

September 21 enterprise Ltd. in Blk 13 Toa Payoh Lorong 8. they have a small, old version, but new books sale as well as readers. They have a lot of teaching manipulatives. counters, scales, wipe clean boards, stamps lots of educational flashcards to games etc etc... 4 yrs back I went there to buy Jolly phonics stuff... but this time they have a huge collection. but less work books. only MC books are available, not many. I bought english Text Types by Oxford essential skills. I am teaching her the \"writing\".

Thats great... keep up the good work. :snuggles:

Hi Champion,

Allow me to continue the chat on \"English Assessment\" here.
I feel that P1/2 Eng are about the same. For my son in P5, I'll switch to P6 after the scare :nailbite: of SA1 exam. Now trying to finish up (asap) the P5 Dolphin Editing, Punctuation & Synthesis as well as Grammar b4 school reopens. However, all of us had our share of fun and should be charged up for Term 3

For P5, I would recommend parents to start on P6 assessement from Term 2 onwards. Comprehension & Synthesis can be rather challenging and there is a steep learning curve.

:offtopic: We went to Universal Studios yesterday...It was really fun and encouraged my son to work hard for SA2, so that we can go there again...perhaps book a hotel room for 2 days of fun.

Champion:

Sleepy,

can share with us what are the grammar books you are using? I am still :frustrated: that DD1 P3 is on the stellar programme with no textbook so at times dare not buy too many EL assessment books. am I :offtopic: lioa?? Should discuss this over at the EL assessment books thread.... :imsorry: got carried away......

Initially I bought p1 & p2 grammar assessment books for dd, then I realised actually not much difference, so I skip all the way to p6 grammar. She is using Practice makes Perfect by EPH. Purple book cover
