All About English Creative Writing

Hi mumto2,


I must have made a mistake.
I can't remember which website that I've read about it. It has a similar name and is located in Woodlands. It's written there as the '2nd centre'. Maybe, you've to alert Ms Liza Tan about this. There was a parent (Snowz) who also mentioned this.(if I'm not wrong)

Just to clarify, when I tried to search the website for 'The Write Place' after reading one of the treads here, I could not find it. The one appeared was 'The Writer's Place' at Woodlands, so I thought there must be some typo errors. 'The Write Place' is indeed at Jurong East as I just called them a few days ago. :oops:

Ms Rosalind teaches creative writing based on her books. Do you think it helps with 5 days' lessons? Do you think the books are useful? The fee is the most expensive among the 4. When did your ds attend the programme? I am thinking to register my kid as well. Need some advice. TIA.

Hi sleepy,

Unfortunately there is no ground for comparison; like 'before'and áfter' test results because ds attended her lessons prior to primary one. But I believe he would have learnt something. By the way, she also teaches Cloze Passages and Comprehension so you can also consider that for your child.

hi Snowz,

Yes, she teaches from her books most of the time. When I went to fetch my ds home from lesson one day, though, I saw some notes written on her whiteboard. Those were strategies on creative writing which I didn't see those on the books we bought, so she probably also taught them something extra if you take her lessons.

As mentioned in my post prior to this, I do not have any basis for comparison when it comes to the learning effect, but I think the lessons should be helpful. I do not know to what extent it helps though, sorry I can't offer much information in this. We speak Chinese at home and I seldom interfere with ds's English learning, I worry that the more I interfer, the worst things become. ds also has mild dyslexia and so I don't find getting him to memorise vacabs and things useful even if I want to help. He will just forget everything very quickly. In short, I have to rely on others totally.

Not sure if this information is useful: When ds got back his SA2 paper last year, he made a number of mistakes. But he had perfect scores in cloze passage, comprehension and only lost one mark due to carelessness in the story writing section. As I did not send him for English tuitions in comprehensiona and cloze passages, I think it is fair to contribute the perfect scores in these sections largely to her teaching. HTH.
