The Writer's Place @ Woodlands

Hi Wesim


Yr dc is at which branch? Mine doesn’t hv weekly spelling but once in awhile the teacher will test them on things learnt. Then u will know who revised and who did not. My friend’s ds goes to the one in galaxy cc. I know he has spelling every week. Or maybe it depends on the teacher.

Hi worry_mommy

Same as Wesim, I really like their materials. Most of the stuff you don’t get to learn them in schools. You can request to see their worksheets before signing up. Take a look at the samples of compo on the notice board. I wish my dc could write like that.

My ds goes to the one at galaxy cc. She is in the P1 class. Now the teacher is revising with them what they have learnt previously.

Mine is at woodlands cc, p1 too. So far no spelling lei. Maybe only the teachers at galaxy cc give spelling.

Thanks for sharing. It is good to know that which branch has good teachers.


I agree with Wesim. With good knowledge of Vocabulary, it does help to write much better compo. However, every week got spelling. I find it may be a bit stressful on both kids and mom.

Hi Steadyberry,

Thanks sharing with me your views on the Woodlands Branch :).Will sure get them to show the worksheets if I do decide to put my son there.

Hi worry_mommy


I agree with you on the spelling part. Schools have spelling and ting xie. I wouldnt want to stress my kids more with additional spelling. But it really depends. If my kid is weak in spelling, maybe additional spelling is good.

ds was there when he was at P3. We stopped after a year. We realised they used lots of bombastic words and phrases that's I think it's beyond his level. Subsequently I sent him to a tutor, ds continued to use such bombastic words/phrases in his compo which she also disagreed.


by the way, he never had spelling when he was there.

Can you please give examples of \"bombastic\" words taught by the teachers there?

sorry qms, I couldn't locate ds' file
However, seeing the good reviews from many parents, you may want to go down to talk to the person-in-charge to understand better.

No worries, coolbaby! Just curious on the standard of this centre.
