Champion,

You are always able to read my mind so well . I knew you will upload the pics. Hahaha.
Yes, these are the 3 titles i am using (actually not me, but my daughter is the one).

May I ask a question about Success in Comprehension and Mastering Comprehension. In relation to the MCQ passages, do they contain more than 5 questions per passage. I would like books that have this.


Also, some feedback on EPH Excel in Comprehension (mentioned in this thread last year). It is not a great book; certainly not challenging - one I would not recommend!!!

I have managed to find MCQ English Comprehension books for Old O Levels, but I am pinning my hopes on finding some really demanding P5 and P6 difficult MCQ Comprehension books. Any help to point me towards relevant books would be most welcome. :imcool:

Yes I find the comprehension assessment books quite limited, their questions are rather easy compared to good sch papers.

Anyone knows what creative writing books are good other than books by Liza Tan and TAS? I have both already but am looking for more to help my kids for their paper 1.


I would also like to know which books are good for oral preparation. Tks!:)

Don't know if anyone has recommended this Oxford Primary Essentials English PSLE preparation. It's an excellent all-in-one guidebook with a few exercises. It's primarily a guidebook but I've found it to be an excellent resource.

I've also bought the Oxford Primary Essentials English Test Papers. They have have for P5 & P6. They are written by Dr Cheah Yin Mee. The book contains tests for all sections of the English paper.

This book posted by champion is a newer one, I think. The one I have is comprehensive and from same publisher. Cant post it as I am using phone now. Was at popular just now. No promo going on.

For creative writing, TAS's volume 2 of their creative writing book will be out this weekend. Perhaps you can consider it. You can find out more on where they are selling it on their marketplace thread.
