Q&A - P1 English

[Old Arbat]

Dear Parents

My son is consistently getting low 60+ for English. He is very confused in Grammar and weak in Comprehension. Is there a good book, enrichment school, etc. that would be able to help him ?
Please help.

Answer: ?

Hi Green-apple
The plural form for the word \"aircraft\" is actually the same - Aircraft
The answer would be :
I shot down four aircraft in my computer game.

I like this series, includes compre, oral etc too.

Recently, I found another that I like.

Depending on your comfort level. I find that there's not much difference in terms of focus on the different aspects of grammar bet p1/p2 and P3.

Both titles explain grammar rules and there are exercises for practise purpose.

Speaking grammatically correct English will greatly help the child to improve too. I enjoy speaking in Singlish with my frens but with kids it's different. I have no issue with them speaking Singlish when they understand grammar.

What's causing him to lose marks in compre? Does he understand the passage? Does he write the answers in the correct tense? Any spelling mistakes in his answer? Does he answer to the qns? There are many reasons why a child does not score in compre.

The titles can be purchased fr Popular but chk with the branch that you are visiting for stock status.

cheers
