2012 PSLE Discussions and Strategy
-
Hi Parents,
Yeh!!! I finished my homework [ P4 annotations ]:). I promised a P6 one and I have it somewhere on one of the PCs but before I post that, do let me know if there is a better way of doing this - the posts are so long and all my highlights/bold/colour from my Word document don't get carried over so I re-do them after pasting them onto the Editor....sorry, very IT challenged... so you see God is fair
My very best wishes to the Little Dragons taking their PSLE journey this year...
I wish you patient parents every day
Inspiring Teachers along the way
The helping hand of many a friend
A world of learning that does not end.
God bless each and every one of you -
Hi Champion
Most welcome and hope it helps.
Don’t be constrained by what I wrote though, develop it with your DD1 and all her siblings will benefit too. Gb! -

Hi tclhubDear psle2011mum
Thanks for your tips on typing out the OE compre passage and marking the annotations on the typed document I tried this once and DD said it was very useful and wanted me to do the same in future. I am fine to put in efforts to do it now for practice. But do you think she would be so reliant on this method that it would not be practical when working on the actual paper in future? Are you able to share your friend's DC's experience? Thank you for your advice and generous tips once again and may God bless you and your family.
PS. By the way, I bought the Oxford books on English strategies and found them extremely useful, thanks for the recommendations!
Great to hear that your DD is finding annotating useful. Depending on how your strong your child is, you may want to continue this for a short while [ like one or two more, fully done for you] just to show her the many different tools she can use to annotate, but after that, she should be starting on her own with you alongside to scaffold/support; your DD needs to take the first steps but you can nudge her in the right direction as she verbalises her thoughts to you. Let go gradually and she may not even realise she's off on her own.
DD's initial efforts were poor but this is a \"thinking process\" skill and takes time to develop and perfect, so you shouldn't be discouraged if the pieces for anywhere up to three to six months are nowhere near useful. You can also \"mark\" the annotations [ leave the questions out] and start small - even by paragraphs first, so that your DD can press on with developing this skill.
Glad you found the Oxford Essentials books useful too.
Gb! -
psle2011mum… this looked like a gargantuan effort. My heartfelt thanks for taking the time. You’re a blessing.

Dear psle2011mum
Thank you once again for your efforts in putting in your advice on how to annotate! It gave a much clearer picture of the ‘thinking process’ behind the annotations done. I still need to practise a lot based on how you have done them with your DD. Your explanations have been extremely helpful! Extremely grateful and appreciative of your time and efforts! God bless!
To all parents reading the posts here, have a Happy New Year and all the best to you too as you walk through with your DC the journey of learning…enjoy the new year holidays! -
Dear psle2011mum, thanks for the very detailed sharing. It looks so simple in theory.. Just circle this and highlight that but when it comes to reality, there is so much effort to practice it. I salute you! I am sure I will gain much from your \"step by step\" guide
I wish you and your loved ones a very properous year of dragon ! -
Hi psle2011mum,
Wow, just came online and was starled by all the buzz of messages thanking you. Went few webpages back to catch on…and you know what?? I was really left shocked at the amount of postings you had done for comprehension OE annotations…
Amazing really and my heartfelt thanks for the great effort (I am wondering if I would be ever able to post anything like that after my DD completes her PSLE…)
Just managed to copy all the 9 parts and will need more than an hour definitely to completely read and understand it.
Thank you so much… -
Oh Psle2011Mum....you are so great. Your DD is indeed lucky. Now I'm wondering if I can do even half the job with DS?
Thanks so very much! :udawoman:
Will try and see if DS and I can figure this out and make the improvements he badly needs. -
Dear PSLE 2011 mum,
You are great. :thankyou: so much.
Really appreciate your kindness to share things with all of us.
Esp this annotation explanation wow! No words to say thank you to you. :salute: :salute: :salute: :udawoman:
