Just wanted to share that this book is indeed quite good. I started using it for my DS in P2 when I was hunting for compre book--not many compre assessment books have graphic stimulus. So that in itself was a big plus.

What i like about the book is it's organised in units, and every unit will have everything ie graphic stimulus, compre close, compre MCQ and compre open-ended. And there're marks so DS can 'see' his progress (or lack thereof). Easy for working mummies cos I just tell him to do one unit and can rest assured he got to practise every component

Hi Mummyofthree,


Yes thanks. I am getting in a full-time tutor today for maths.

Damn ex tho.....$45 an hour because she is an ex-MOE teacher.

This one got to trial and error. Try out the tutor and see how. Maybe can ask your daughter for some feedback.

Hi there,
Just wondering how the tutor worked out...I just chanced upon this thread today and can totally relate to how you feel. My DS dropped quite drastically from P2 SA2 to P3 SA1. I don't even know what band he's in except that he's not band 1..what's the marks for band 2 & 3?

Am in two minds about sending him for tuition..cos he has difficulty with the difficult 'killer' problem sums--which ironically the school didn't quite teach. Generally I know he blanks out when he has to solve a sum he's never encountered before. That's why I try to practice more with him. But this SA1 despite all the work, we were totally caught off-guard.

Now he's rather demoralised, and I\"m torn between boosting his confidence with easier sums (which won't help much with the killer questions that slaughtered him) and giving him harder ones to prep him for future papers.
