Primary 4 English Strategies For Comprehension Cloze & Synthesis/Transformation

This book is designed to prepare pupils in Primary Four to do the following in their semestral assessments:

 

• complete a Comprehension Cloze;

• rewrite the sentence (s) in one sentence, using the word (s) provided for each set of the questions in Synthesis/Transformation.

 

The guide begins with a recapitulation of Open Word Classes learnt in the classroom: nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. This is followed by examples of contextual clues and connectors that pupils can make use of when completing a cloze passage.

 

The next section highlights the function of Open Word Classes. Each exercise has two components: Teaching Points and Practice Paper. Pupils are advised to answer the questions in the ‘Pre-activity’ section which is a ‘warming up’ activity before they complete a cloze passage. In the last section, there are 10 Assessment Papers for pupils to test their ability to apply the skills learnt.
