Chinese Assessment Books

[Champion]

janet_lee88:

I was at Bukit Panjang Popular last Sat...so used to visit IMM store to get my assessment books, so I find BPP not sufficiently stocked :sad:

Couldn't find that Super Scholar title, so made do with that new one written by NTU...promo going on for 2A. http://i42.tinypic.com/207uved.jpg\">

:hi5: Janet,
I got the P1A for DD2! Apparently DD2 needs more Chinese assessment books than P4 DD1 :sad: CL Teacher feedback that her HYPY is weak! :faint:

Hi Champion,

I used Super Scholar for her last year and found that it's not bad. Daughter has difficulty doing the 词语 section in her weekly tingxie section. Thanks for recommending this title...it's not easy nor diff.

Oh yes, when the 'B' one is avail, pls let me know ok ? I pestered the Popular staff for the second part and she told me not out till later part of the year...that made me a little unsettled bcos I am not used to getting the A book alone.

Hi


My DD1 is in P2 and going to have chinese picture compo test next week.
being non-chinese I get clueless about how to teach her.

any body can advise a good compo book which has chinese keywords given to practice writing compo…?

right now, I have started to go thru 2 compo’s from ocean publications book each nite and ask her to translate it in English.

Then find the keywords which I think teacher can give and circle them for her. But this takes time… do you think this will work for her?

Pls advise how you all are working with your DD/DS?

Hi mother777,
I did enquire about pic compo for P2...was informed that students need to write 5 sentences using the helping words.

So far, my daughter has not done any CL compo. The one compo book I have is this one by Learners...there are helping words below the pic.

Hi Janet,


Thank you so much for your recommendation… must visit my long lost friend "popular" this evening…

will try to get this book… my DD1 is going to faint to see her assessment book pile increasing everyweek…

poor kid…so many things to cover…so far she is ok to cooperate with me as I push her to read chinese compo’s and find meanings of words using electronic dictionary…

she was made to write a compo with helping words and picture yesterday at school… the theme was chinese new year…


lets work hard and just hope for the best…

Hi mother777,
I pity my daughter too...but given her VERY SHORT memory, I have no choice but to get her to revise every night. Other than Wed/Thur which are days to learn her spelling, we either do comprehension, cloze, grammar/vocab.

Hi Janet,


Agree, now a days I also pester my DD to study and revise at night.
Yesterday, she practiced multiplication and division by 4 and 5. Then wrote 1 english picture compo (1st draft which I have corrected to be re-written again, hopefully today).

Then even though she was sleepy, I begged and coaxed her to read thru 2 chinese picture compos and find the key words. Also looked for word meanings which she was not sure of…she slept at 11pm+ looking very tired…

Now a days she gets tired easily as morning are also busy attend CCA or supplementary class assigned at school…

Just hope that she can endure this schedule as the year has just begun

Hey mother777,
I will get my daughter to sit on my lap to revise something. Then at 4, she will take her nap. She has remedial on Thur/Fri, so on these 2 nights, I will just make sure she finishes her school homework at night.
She sleeps at 11 everyday. If she doesn't take her nap, there is no way I can get her attention at 8 to do anything.

Wow Janet,

looks like all parents are on the same boat!
No choice I think, My DD1 had 2 consequetive days of maths diagnostic test. I did not even get to know what would be tested as the teacher just put the header as Mental Sum1/2/3/4 in the test schedule.

Just got a letter from teacher with her HP and email id, will write to her later for clarifications…

sigh…if P2 is so complicated…then wonder how P3 would be??

How blur of me...didn't realise your daughter also in P2. :oops:
Dare NOT think of P3...struggling as it is :imdrowning: her moods are the toughest to manage. Compared to my older one who is in P6, they both have such different characters. Daughter's school is more ON compared to my son in P1 back then.
