Hi poppy!

I am not expert,but I listened to experts.When I was attending Principal speech in P1,Principal said bring the child to library often and let the kid choose the books.She said,When they read books they will learn vocab,grammar,structure and etc.When I gave my son a thick book in P1, he said he can’t finish that book.I said nevermind, read one chapter a day enough.Now he is in P3,He can read a many books in a day.He can do grammar naturally .Sometimes I saw qns for P3 in KSP.He can answered but he didn’t know why.He correct my sentence when I typing here.
Now he asked me to bring to library.We often visit library.

Hi Poppy!
For P1, I bought many as I don't know which is good.Then following years I bought only one book.

Hi smartmummy,

I bought that title 'Complete Practice for Grammar, Vocab and Comprehension' for my older one for several years. Then son complained that the space given for Comprehension open-ended & cloze was too little. Now I get individual titles for each - grammar, vocab, synthesis, comprehension, cloze.
My son's 'gf' for 3 years - Comprehension Graphic Stimulus Cloze.

Hi Janet_lee88,


I flipped through Comprehension Graphic Stimulus Cloze recently, but found it to be a regular book. I may have missed out something in my quick browsing. Appreciate that you can share with me what made you continue to use this book for 3 years. I believe there must be some good reasons.

Is Mastering Comprehension good? Recently, I saw it on offer at 20% off.

Is Conquer Comprehension good too? I find the glossary behind every passage quite useful.

Appreciate your comments. Thanks.

Yes, Champion.
I have gone through my child's comprehension section which he only managed a pass. All marks lost are due to carelessness and him failing to listen to my constant advice to give complete answers. That section accounts for 50% of his total marks lost for the entire paper.

HI Teh_oh,

I didn’t get Comprehension Graphic Stimulus Cloze for some time already…don’t find it helpful.

I did get Conquer Comprehension for P5 though…but don’t have much time to get the exercises done as son is attending enrichment lessons and teacher uses P6 passages. This Sep holiday, I need him to work on Synthesis and Comprehension Cloze.
