Hi ridcully,


First of all, thank you for your insightful response and getting the ball rolling!:)

I see where you're coming from and agree that composition is definitely not something a book can do much to help.

On that note, is there anything that students can do on their own outside school hours to improve their composition? Any recommendations?=) (speaking from parent's perspective)

Thanks once again and hope to hear from the rest!!
Regards.

Hi everyone,


I have this question to ask with regards to improving composition particularly for the upper primary students preparing for PSLE. I find that composition is really not easy to teach or improve on as in there is no formula or direct approach to it compared to other aspects of PSLE English. :? There are books out there to catered for students who are poor in composition but I am not sure if they really help. :?: I guess my question and reason for this forum is to know what the others think should be inside a good composition assessment book i.e. what you think makes a good composition assessment book? what do you look out for when buying one for your own child? :? :? :?
