Hi plum-cake,
I saw that book at IMM...don't know why their computer system didn't capture the title. It's not appropriate for my gal.
Saw this 'Picture Composition' by Terry Bell. Was quite tempted to get but didn't know to get the P1 or P2 book.

It would be great if these publishers have 'sample pages' for parents to view at home. Son's creative writing is already outsourced...not planning to outsource for younger one yet. Since it's just P1, I'm just going to reinforce what has been taught.
Both my kids had spelling to be learnt last night. Both of them had one word to learn - Magician. The one in P5 had 'heroic' while the one in P1 had 'heroes'.

Yes I have that book and composition strategies by Learners as well, It comes with a small guide book.

I saw a new EPH compo book at popular. But I forgot the title...

go for for P2... cos there is only 1 term left and its not much difference...

I think I know which new EPH compo you're referring to...think it's by Naaz Thaker. With just 1 more term to go, it's pointless getting for P1.

Finishing the 'Conquer Comprehension' with my daughter soon...I'm so happy with her for willing to go that extra mile esp last few weeks for today's comprehension test.

Dear parents,

I was browsing through the kiasuparents website and happened to see some of these comments based on the Mastering comprehension and Mastering Cloze series by EPH. Being the author of these series (Geetha Menon), I hope you do not mind me sharing my thoughts about how you can help your children improve their spoken and written English. It is well and good to get your children to practice these sections. However, I would urge you to encourage your children to read voraciously during the weekends and holidays. As a parent and a (PSLE) Language instructor, I understand how difficult it is for students to find time to read during the weekdays. It is very important for your children to acquire the knowledge they need to do well in the various sections in the English language exam. Reading helps them build up their vocabulary and improve their grammar. Soon, they would automatically know if a sentence is structured properly without any grammatical mistakes. Please do encourage your children to read aloud for half an hour at least everyday if she is weak in English. Reading aloud also helps one remember interesting words and expressions. Do not choose the books for your children. You may suggest, but let them make the final decision. I see a number of P5 and P6 children struggling to speak fluently and write well in my classes that I wish their parents had inculcated this reading habit in them at an early age. Reading with your children will be a good start!
