Village Girl:

My girl (p3 next year) requested me to buy conquer s&t during this holiday. She did it on her own n said it was so easy. When I realized this is in her book list for next year, I bought score in s&t for her. She said it is more challenging and she refused to do it now.

Conquer S&T is not able to provide kids challenging questions. There are just more connectors added. You can accompany your daughter when she attempts the new title and help her along the way. Motivate and encourage her to be positive...once she can handle tough questions, nothing is impossible for CA/SA. There will be some difficulty in the beginning from P2 to P3, P4 to P5.

Thanks Janet. I did together with her yesterday on the 1st exercise n she said it didn't seem as difficult as she thought. Hope she is more willing to do them now. I will continue to guide her. Thanks for the encouragement.

HI Village Girl,

I faced the problem of not able to find connectors in Conquer S&T…which was why I switched to another publisher. It’s hard to tell what connectors will be taught, even at P1…so I get one level ahead, hoping I won’t face this problem next year.

For S&T, my neighbour gave me this title P5/6 published by Ace (Can be found at Big Bookshop Clementi)…in it, I found a detailed explanation, including rules for Direct/Indirect speech. Another 2 friends recommended me this title by Carolyn Lee published by Marshall Cavendish. Title is
Primary 6 Synthesis And Transformation. Image too big to upload.

Hello, jedamum :hugs:
You referring to the above? I only briefly flipped thru it. Find the content and format quite similar to the Primary 4 Score In Synthesis & Transformation by Cindy Lim, EPH.

Above just my own opinion and I have to reiterate again I am not related to any publishers nor author of the books

hi champion,
good to read the above (underlined) because i could not locate EPH's synthesis in the 2 outlets that i visited; i ended up with the casco one as i already have longman and MC.
