English Assessment Books

Hi mother 777,
I bought Elite for P2 and P6 after going through the sample pages...there are diagnostic tests and I think it is useful as daughter's school has tests every 10 weeks.

I would recommend:
1) A Cloze assessment (grammar/vocab/comprehension cloze)...either Mastering Cloze or Cloze Practice should be fine.

2) 1 assessment for Comprehension. http://i40.tinypic.com/2m483zp.jpg\">

I have bought the above 2 for DD1 P3 level this year but apparently DD1 prefers the 2nd one and the 1st one only do less than 10% :roll:
3) 1 assessment for both grammar & vocab as weekly practice

I have only used the 1st one for P3 level and finds it good, IMHO The 2nd one is recommended by some parents from this forum :hugs:
4) Elite English. http://i43.tinypic.com/fp79e8.jpg\">

HI Champion,

for item 2 and 3, which book you recommend?
I already have the ultimate grammar, vocab book for item 3, should be ok right?

I still need to buy the Elite english as advised by you.

thanks.[/quote]

The Elite title was recommended by Plum-cake...I merely jumped on the bandwagon because I happened to be looking for an all-in-1 who's going to P6, and this fitted my requirements. :lovesite:

I couldn’t find this "All-in-one" book in popular.Is that available in pop?

[janet88]

Some schools would have started Graphic Stimulus in P2. That is a tricky section to handle.


I am using this title for weekly revision with my daughter in P1... :oops: not completed yet but she can handle it by herself as it's MCQ. http://i44.tinypic.com/2ywhc9s.jpg\">

Hi smartmummy,


Yes this book is available at popular. I bought it from popular only, I find it good bcos it covers everything from grammar, vocabulary, re-arrange sentences to comprehension. It also has a brief section for oral n compo.

Hi smartmummy,
Above is the All-in-one as recommended by mother777.

Do take note that the P4 level - Author is Mary Ang and not the same as the P2 level which is Geetha Menon.

chowon:

Aiyah, I forgot that this is the 2nd year we are getting MC cloze practice. It is very progressive and hence my dd has a better idea that comprehension cloze skills are very much dependent on the vocab n grammar sections which are in the earlier part of the book.

Any mummy has compared both Mastering Cloze and Cloze Practice before ?
I have the first book...trying to finish it mid Jan. Main concern now is the comprehension cloze. Rather curious what chowon mentioned about 'progressive' part. Son's highest is 9/15 :nailbite:

Hi


Chanced upon this book and want to know any comments on this book. This book is not an assessment book but would like to tap on this thread to seek views. My girl is weak in her grammar and sometimes, i find difficulties in explaining to her. Thanks much
