Some mommies suggested practicing writing compo once a week. May I check do u mark them? How to if we r not expert in the language ourselves? Will it still help if I continue to get him to write? Tq.

If you can wait a bit I will do a blogpost on this and link here... I am a bit tied up in the coming week. Will write on this in the week after, and put the link here.

Hi elkniwt,


Thanks for your explaination. I think you are right. Any idea how do they determine the SD?

how to prepare for the SA1 oral? Getting very stressful here. DD’s oral is next week and her EL teacher has not done anything with them! DD has been practicing her reading skills by reading aloud everyday, but the picture discussion and conversation, I really don’t know how to help her. Any tips?

Can I have a quick check, which r the Math topics your ds/dd sch is currently teaching? Ds had substitute teacher since start of term 2, thus his class is only doing revision for past topics. They have yet to be introduced to speed & circle. Worried he may not complete the syllabus in time for SA1.

Does anyone have the COP for secondary schools for last year (ie Sec 1 2012)?

My DS school is doing ratio and has not touched speed and circle yet. Speed and circle are not included in their SA1 test topics.
