English Assessment Books

[janet88]

I almost bought a duplicate copy of Synthesis & Transformation yest. So frustrated my daughter didn’t do well for the CA. Some connectors were not found in P2 level. Saw the title by Cindy Lim (EPH). The long queue ‘saved’ me from buying, or else I will be back at IMM today doing an exchange…whew!!!

Yes, I have that book. In fact son's English teacher used that title last year (P5).

Hi Janet,

Thanks.

Hi mummies,

I’m still looking for a synthesis assessment to coach my daughter (P2). Some of the connectors tested like ‘when’/‘then’/‘so’ are not found in the P2 level (Conquer S&T) as well as Score in S&T (P3). Any other recommendations of S & T assessment ? Thanks.

How about just go to http://orlesson.com/EnglishExam.html to print the pages on S&T on all those P2 papers? If the practice is insufficient, do the same for P3 papers, P4 papers etc... just choose those easier/relevant ones for your gal, depending on her school's standard if you want to target at the right questions.

If I were you, I would analyse dd's S&T weakness on school worksheets and change some of the questions slightly on the worksheets to test her again. If she manages to get them right, it shows that she has understood. If not, it could be carelessness and you need to teach her how to check her work to avoid them. Having tonnes of assessment books is useless if you lose focus of the strategies.

Thanks, I will do that.
Perhaps I'll use her worksheets to go through with her again. :hugs:

Hi Picolo,

My brain must be been jammed of late :slapshead: ...never thought of printing out the questions on synthesis for her to practise. Looks like I will be doing just that 2moro. she just brought home a book from school on 'situational writing' :shock: there will be a test next week on writing postcard.
