Plum-cake,
I love your recommendations for Eng and Math They are do-able...but I try to avoid the challenging titles as my daughter is not up to it. Next week, her teacher at RC will be teaching P2 Math syllabus.

:hi5: :celebrate: to both Mummy Plum-Cake & Janet-Lee!

:thankyou: to both you for your contribution in this English Assessment Books thread and also the Maths Assessment Books threads & Science Assessment Books thread! :grphug:

No worries, we are all here to share.
I am presently using Ace Synthesis & Transformation Skills...can be bought at Big Bookshop at Clementi.
However, this other title came highly recommended by 2 of my friends...It's Synthesis And Transformation [Paperback] by Carolyn Lee.

For english, you can try books by Liza Tan, the model essays there are good, there was a longman creative writing that I bought before about 2 yrs ago but now I can't find it. TAS creative writing book is of course one of the best. I think good to get model compo books because at least you have some idea of what to look out for in your child's writing.

Sorry I cant help much for chinese, I leave that totally to tuition as I cant help with chinese.

Hi plum,

I bought that P5 'editing, punctuation, synthesis & transformation' from pop suntec at $5. Can't resist it :evil: since not many pop outlets have it...told myself, what the heck...this eng section is here to stay, might as well get it now.

Just opened ceremony for my P6 \"mastering cloze\" by geetha menon/Mia Ali. So, it's 2 grammar cloze, 1 comprehension cloze + 1 exercise on synthesis every morn now. Oh yes, 2 exercises from 'expand your vocab' 2x a week.

I'm getting my daughter to finish up Learning Science Book 1...made my son sit beside and coach her :evil: some form of revision for him too.

While they were sleeping at 1130pm yest, I decided to go all out from now onwards and pile it on this holiday....so I circled the pages to be done this morn...told him, SHEER HARD WORK will pay off...and it's not just NATO (no-action-talk-only).
