Hi Concerndad,


The English paper was tough especially the compre and heard from my gal, most of the classmates get below 30. The highest score for her class was 47.

Hi! Jolin78


Thank you for your response. My child obtain 30+/50. Initially was quite concern about his result as he is still in P2...which was huge drop from his last year result. But after checking the paper, I realized that the paper was quite tough for the P2 level and I wanted to check for some feed-backs from the daddies and mummies here. Heard from my boy, most of his classmates obtain lower than 30 too. He lost most of his marks in the comprehension section. Is it true that at P2, they do not allow \"lifting\" from the comprehension passage?

To the daddies and mummies, reading this post, are there any ways you can recommend to help a P2 boy improve on his comprehension? (Beside tuition.. )

Thank you for your time and effort in responding to my queries.

Hi Concerndad,


This is something that I've been reading also. My DD & DS are in P3 and the jump from P2 to P3 is high!

One thing I've learnt is that for comprehension and composition, it's good if the child reads a lot. Also try getting your child to read at a level slightly higher than what they are in for this will help with language.

Hope this helps.

Yes my gal also lost most of the mark at compre. Her teacher also told her no lifting. Really not easy for the kids these days. Have to make them understand the passage really well

Hi! vividlaurel & jolin78

Haa! P2 do P3 stuff?!..I have some friends who recommended that to me too. Kids do have it tough nowadays. I guess I have to work out something for my boy.
