Hi All,
Just wanna share the above book that my going P5 DD1 just started to use

I find the Strategies and tips very useful. I also find it provides guidance on how to tackle and answer the various type of questions.

I have to reiterate again - this is my own sharing; I am neither related to the publisher nor the author or promoting on behalf of anybody

Very useful and very helpful, Champion. Keep sharing these golden nuggets. I like the part where it says writing down the question number in that part of the passage where the answer lies; simple and obvious but so useful - I had not even thought of this. Keep the good practices flowing.


On a different note, I have just found the following site of Comprehension Cloze. My P4 DS, as we speak, is doing Conquer Cloze P4. He fpound the following site challenging. I think it is good prep for PSLE.

The comprehensions on this site are great for my P2 and P4 boys.

My DS (a rising 9 year old) just started on the P5 comprehensions. To improve his time management, I give him 42 seconds a question regardless of the size of the passage. Here in the UK, timed comprehensions are of this magnitude per question.

He attained 7/9 in the first P5 section. I use these tests to diagnose and rectify his inference-based weaknesses.

It would useful to know if there any SG comprehension books P1 to P6 and then up to S2 that contain inference based MCQ.

The Challenging English Test Papers published by Popular bookstore/EPB contain inference-based comprehension passages. These are graded test paper sets. There are 6 test papers in each $10 set and 2 passages in each test paper.

hi,


Any mummies here can kindly share if there is any English assessment book at Popular, that have already incorporated the latest English syllabus change for 2015 PSLE?

Understand that in addition to oral and listening comprehension, there will also be changes to the approach in the English main paper for the pioneer batch taking PSLE in 2015, which my girl is :imdrowning:

So trying to see if there is some assessment books out there which is geared towards the kind of questions in line with the new syllabus...

Thanks

Thanks for the tips

Let's hope the publishers will be on-the-ball in coming up with the revised materials.
