Q&A - P2 English

[BlurBee]

poppy15:

can i ask, for P1 composition writing, are they asked to write in sentences or paragraphs?


are there any helping words or pictures provided?

now in K2, DS is asked to write 12 full sentences with the help of 12 different words and he's already stressed up. no picture to help.

eg: helping word is healthy.

can he write: I am healthy.

is this considered a full sentence?

eg: swim

can he write: my mummy brought me for a swim.

without emphasizing where, as in my mummy brought me for a swim at the swimming pool.

DS is very particular. he doesnt & wont write a sentence longer than the given line on the worksheet, even i when say its ok to write slightly below the line. :faint:

Maybe different school has different teaching method. My DD was guided to write short sentences with helping words & pics. Then slowly by paragraphs.
I think ur above e.g are ok but later he'll need to elaborate.

JMO.

I agree with BlurBee.
Encourage more books to read.Can buy assessment books for writing sentences with helping words and pictures.Then arrange the number sequence of sentences then they know how to write in paragraph.

My daughter in P1 was taught to write simple compo in Term 2 using 2 pictures. She had to write in a paragraph. Since Parent-Teacher meeting in May, I've yet to spend time coaching her for compo :oops: it's been revising her weak areas for Math and grammar.

There are helping words.

In K2 I used the Book of sentences by EPH to teach writing. ( ages 5-6) 2nd half of the book is similar to P1 writing. But her PCF kindy they only ask her to write 5 sentence according to their theme. but her EL teacher (in P2) told my dd to write about 80 words that is about 3/4 of an a4 writing pad.

Yes they give helping words, but it doesn’t means that you have to use all of them…
