GOOD NEWS for teachers and students!
Marife Cruz Yap is in the process of re-writing her two English comprehension books pictured above and turning them into a series of 4 comprehension books based on the new syllabus.
The series title is:
Distinction in English - 'O' Level Comprehension Books 1 - 4.
Book 4 is recommended for Sec 4 and Sec 5 students
Book 3 is recommended for Sec 3 students
Book 2 is recommended for Sec 2 students
Book 1 is recommended for Sec 1 students
Each book contains a complete programme for teaching students comprehension and summary writing skills, and can thus be used in schools as a textbook. Students can also use these books for self-study.
Mrs Yap has already submitted the manuscripts for Books 3 and 4 to the publisher (Marshall Cavendish Education), so Book 4 will be the first book in the series to hit the shelves, sometime in Semester 2, followed by Book 3, and Books 1 and 2 will probably be released in June or July..
Watch this space for updates on the release dates of these books!
