English Assessment Books

[optimistforum]

Has anyone used Hadyn Richards vocab books, as I am used to using EPH Complete Practice or Challenging English Books, which unfortunately are MCQ. Has anyone used the books below and how to do they compare to SG P5/P6 vocab books:


1) One Thousand Vocabulary Exercises
2) One Thousand Harder Vocabulary Exercises

i bought cloze assessment books to prepare my daughter for p3.


Cloze Practice by Rosalind Lee (MC). The other one is Mastering Cloze Passage published by Just Education. I like the explanation and model practice before each exercise for Cloze Practice.

Your son did better than my girl already. Mine always get about 1-3 out of 10 only...:( Really not sure how to help her. Have been asking her to read more but she just cant think of any word to fill in the blank. When she was told her answer, then she will say 'orhhhhhh, ya hor...' sigh.

Hi Champion,


Any recommendation for P1/P2 comprehension assessments where there are more inference kind of questions? Rather than those more straight forward kind of answers….

Thanks!
