The A-Star Difference Primary 1 English Vocabulary

Description

This book is set out in three sections. It aims to provide students with over 800 items of vocabulary that are used widely in everyday life.

Section A comprises multiple-choice questions in individual worksheets. The emphasis is on parts of speech which help students to learn and remember word collocations and specific nuances of meaning. Therefore, careful consideration is given to the options and most options are plausible and grammatically fitting. Pictorial clues are given wherever necessary.

Section B is a selection of words that are commonly used in various settings. This section is self-explanatory and helps students remember word usage. Students are introduced to the words commonly used in specific subjects, such as in the ocean and the desert. The exercises are not set out to mislead but to guide. Each option can be used only once and if one mistake is made, it means that another sentence has the wrong word.

Section C contains story-based exercises. The emphasis is on contextual clues which helps students learn many of the everyday vocabulary in language.

This book is intended to help students familiarise with the different vocabulary words that they will encounter in diverse contexts, while improving their command of the English language.
