If u hv the time to guide him with comprehension, it’s not difficult to help him improve with some basic techniques. But if he needs more marks to help him pull in grades, then you might wanna try Academia’s Mr Sherman Tseng. We went to him bcoz it was then difficult to teach/correct my chil’s weakness in Synthesis & Transformation & the complex way how the use of verb, bounce, adverbs, tenses, etc changes when one transform & synthesize sentences. My kids can’t consistently do well so I suspect sth is missing in my guidance to help them see abv the S&T requirements.

We went to him bcoz he explained & taught techniques in a very detail & simplified manner that our child grasps well. He was a former English HOD with Ai Tong & promotes as VP before his aged parents sudden medical needs called for his almost full-time attention. We don’t hv experience with other teachers in the centre, so cant comment.

You might try guiding your child for a while to give some personal attention. Even then, it is true that the Comprehension portion requires a suite of skills which requires one to hv read widely to hv the vocabulary to ustand some words used in passages, the style of different author’s writings in delivering meanings & messages, etc.

1. Get him to read a Comprehension passage once, highlighting any ‘difficult’ words.

2. Then get him to read all the questions once

3. Re-read the passage again & try do annotations & highlight or underline where he thinks the answers to each question lies.

4. I used to get my kids do this (& also with Chinese 理解问答 and when they stumble, ask them what they think the word cld mean or what author is saying).

5. For those str-fwd easy questions yr child is able to put his answers in, get him to write it str-away (as a practice with time mgt) as this will give him confidence to tackle the rest with remaining time.

6. Let him practice searching his dictionary (for Chinese, I insists my kids use the hardcopy dict as it ‘forces’ them to check the relevant strokes & thereby commit to memory. Towards middle of P6, we then grant the use of electronic dict).

7. Typically, you’ll get a question that requires the child to reflect on the action(s) of the protagonist or main character. Encourage yr child to sit back & chat with you his thots & viewpoints. You can then guide him where the passages points to the main idea towards a wholesome answers.

Takes practice. Hope abv helps.

Hello, can I just check whether for 2020 PSLE English papers, was there any content that was removed due to the HBL lockdown period?

I recall for Maths & Science some topics were removed for PSLE in 2020.

How about for English? For Normal Chinese?[/quote]
