English Assessment Books

[janet88]

Some schools would have started Graphic Stimulus in P2. That is a tricky section to handle.


I am using this title for weekly revision with my daughter in P1... :oops: not completed yet but she can handle it by herself as it's MCQ. http://i44.tinypic.com/2ywhc9s.jpg\">

Hi smartmummy,


Yes this book is available at popular. I bought it from popular only, I find it good bcos it covers everything from grammar, vocabulary, re-arrange sentences to comprehension. It also has a brief section for oral n compo.

Hi smartmummy,
Above is the All-in-one as recommended by mother777.

Do take note that the P4 level - Author is Mary Ang and not the same as the P2 level which is Geetha Menon.

Aiyah, I forgot that this is the 2nd year we are getting MC cloze practice. It is very progressive and hence my dd has a better idea that comprehension cloze skills are very much dependent on the vocab n grammar sections which are in the earlier part of the book.

Any mummy has compared both Mastering Cloze and Cloze Practice before ?
I have the first book...trying to finish it mid Jan. Main concern now is the comprehension cloze. Rather curious what chowon mentioned about 'progressive' part. Son's highest is 9/15 :nailbite:

I don't think so.For language, no need IQ. Need a lot of reading will help to build the strong language usage.

I bought Idioms in Action.My son read already,but I don't know it will help or not.Its like a comics books consists of highlighted pharases.I believe reading help in language,so I bought for him.

For on pharase they gave a short story consists of four pictures and each picture has one sentence.So when the kid read this he will understand where to use.

Hi,

I use this book as homework for my DD1. It has got examples n explanations which help her to do her assigned work.

I use other grammar, cloze and comprehension assessment books when I am home after work. So atleast she understands the basics without my help..

Anyway each kid us different, not all books are suitable for everyone. So
parents have to be observant to find their kids weakness and tackle them.
