  5. Strategies used in the classroom • English - Highlighting of key information/words, 5W1H, Grammar drills , Wall of words • Class writing –Word Splash, teacher-modeled writing, peer/group writing, experiential writing • Math – TB, WB, HWB, WS (Heuristics and Challenging), Parallel questions, Plastered walls • Interdisciplinary approach – making sense of what is taught across different subjects

  6. Areas of Weakness for English Writing • Lacks ‘flesh’ • Sequence of events • Vocabulary (variety and usage) Comprehension • Lifting of sentences. Answers can be more specific to answer the question • Grammatical errors Speaking • Oral skills, fluency in expressing ideas (usage of Singlish)

  7. Areas of Weakness for Maths • Need to read the questions properly. • Need to persevere ~ when questions are too lengthy or complicated • Time management (to move on) • Model drawing ~ highlighting of key words, steps to do a problem sum ~ need to have the habit to draw models

  8. Ways to help our children English: • Reinforce the strategies used in class • Vocabulary expansion • Oral skills, conversing • www.stellarliteracy.sg

  9. Ways to help our children Mathematics: • Revise heuristic skills • Parallel questions • Time limit • Draw models • Highlight/Underline clues • Play Math/strategy-based games

  10. How else can we support our children? • Homework handed in punctually • Book flood • Draw models ! • Ensure that they memorise their timetables. • Communication!
