Hi everyone,
Just thought I should share a query that I had from a student's mum recently. She had thought that her son's vocabulary had been up to par until he got back his CA paper this year. The child had received a 6/15 for his comprehension cloze passage but had still received full marks for the vocabulary MCQ section.She had been very puzzled about why he had gotten such "weird" marks. I have seen this many times before and thought I should share my thoughts on this.
In my opinion, the best gauge of a child's vocabulary are the comprehension cloze and composition sections. If the student does not read enough, then comprehension cloze will be bad and the language in the composition will not go beyond simplistic phrases taught in english classes. I would recommend that you get this particular magazine that is not available in Singapore and get your child to read with the help of a dictionary and write book reports on the stories. It is in the app form as you cannot get it in print in SG.

The first edition is free and you can use that as a trial. (I am in no way sponsored by them)
