I taught my kids the techniques of reading comprehension. We used the story book 1 and 2 as well as for reading comprehension and for the listening comprehension with the cassettes. We reviewed the vocabulary with lots of ex. as they appear in the meitsav. We learned the grammar with lots of practice with ex. And most of all we read a lot and practised the understanding of instructions and strategies of taking a test - like begin with what you know, check your answer, skip the ex. you don t know, return back everything that should be known - but it has to be said to get them confident. I must say that each lesson I told and tell them that they know english and that they are able to succeed, believe me or not it helps Another strategy we worked on was the writing, the order of a sentence, the spelling, and as it appeared in almost every test, a few lines about themselves. I must say that we did samples with my help, or , [partly with my help], till they were able to do the whole alone. good luck chantal fuchs Tali wrote: > i would like to know how to prepare my pupils for the meitzav exam. > last year the results were quite low. i know as a given fact that that > age group is quite weak, but how do i approach this year > thank you for answering ##### To send a message to the ETNI list email: etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ##### ##### Send queries and questions to: ask@xxxxxxxx #####
