Conquer Comprehension Cloze Techniques Book 5

Singapore Curriculum — suitable for enrichment alongside Australian primary and secondary learning.

The Comprehension Cloze section is one of the most challenging sections in the PSLE (Primary School Leaving Exam) paper. There are no helping words given and a student requires specific skills to be able to score for this section. Some students manage to get by easily, with the answers just 'popping out' magically. Many others struggle to find the right words to fill in the blanks. Contrary to popular belief that you cannot 'study' for this section, you actually can! Just like a detective who searches for clues to find the answers to crack a case, a student learns to hunt for clues and apply the right techniques to derive the correct answers in a passage. This book reveals useful techniques that you can learn and apply in search for those clues together with ample practice to work on. To score for this section, you need to: have good general knowledge of different types of issues and topics to answer the 'Common Sense (CS)' types of questions, build on your general knowledge by reading widely on an extensive range of current issues and topics, master a wide range of vocabulary words and have a good grasp of phrasal verbs, have sufficient practices to hone your 'detective' skills in identifying the different types of techniques to be used, be exposed to the different types of techniques to be used through more practices to help you sharpen your ability to put the correct answers in the blanks.
