Hi O_O_dad,


can share, which Chinese comics series do your son read ? Thanks

[O_O_Dad]

Thank you Giggle 1, I am really glad you enjoyed reading and want to do more for your kids.

I have been thinking of compiling a list of recommended books for SG-English speaking parents .. haven’t found the time to do so.

In the meantime, I think the best way is to search along the child’s interest and abilities.. when my son was younger, I was always on the look-out in the library n Bookstores for books that I think match his interest.. so when I recognised my son loved hilarious stories n insects, I found books with silly dialogues n illustration and increase the difficulty very gradually.

Share with me your child’s interest n a snap shot of a page that shows his comfortable reading level, meaning he will be willing to pick the book up n read. Then pm me, my contact is in my blog. I will be happy to see if I can at least help you to get started with the first book. Cheers to your efforts.

My son stopped reading Chinese books at about P3, but I finally managed to revive his interest.. Now at secondary one, he is reading not only his English novels, but also Chinese martial arts novels frequently. First time in 4 years, he heard a Chinese school teacher telling him, “You are very good at Chinese language.. I can tell you are having fun with it..” hopefully my personal anecdotes helps you to find useful ways for your kids. Let me know if u enjoy reading.

O_O_Dad, it's so inspiring! Do you have recommendations for Chinese books for lower primary boy that I can read to please?

Ever wonder what kind of example parents setting for the kids - ok to flout the school rules? What kind of values parent trying to teach 12yr olds? Can suka suka go holidays, suka suka stay home, go play truant, etc.

Quote the article on hp usage: \"Children can learn that they have to bear the consequences of their actions, and avoid repeating the same mistake in the future. They can also appreciate the importance of values like responsibility, respect and self-control.\"

go school also play games only. yesterday my DD school even told them to take a nap for from 11am till sch ends at 1pm.
so i find it nothing wrong in applying leave. not every parents can take leave during school holidays due to work commitments.

Monday (21 October, 2019) is coming soon in a week's time, after next week PSLE marking week, to exercise DSA Option. Teachers in class will issue out the DSA Option form on that day (21 Oct), to those pupils who received CO / Wait-list.

Parents need to consider very carefully whether rapid, fast paced IP schools curriculum accelerated, are really suitable for their child, because Secondary school is a different ball game from primary schools, tight time management juggling compulsory Cca and heavy content 8 or 9 subjects.

The same apply to P6 students (and parents) standing at a cross-road T junction dilemma, choosing between IP vs. OP schools that offer them DSA CO / Wait list. One sign-post said, \"Go (head for) To the direction of IP\", while another sign-post say, \"Go To the direction of OP\"

One month later, after 21 October, around Thursday 21 November, PSLE results will be released, around 11 am, morning

I think it's important for parents to at least let the school know first before taking out their kids or hols. I have came across parents who just let their kids absent from school with no explanation to the school (MIA).

yup. my DD teacher was telling my DD, that at least she take effort to submit letter of absence, where some students just simply MIA.

For lower primary, I recommend the 米小圈 series and the 笑猫 series.

In response to queries from The Straits Times, the Ministry of Education has revealed that around 6 per cent of students leave the IP before graduation.

It also revealed that of those who complete the six years leading to the A levels or the International Baccalaureate exams, less than 5 per cent fail to qualify for local universities.

MOE explained that the IP may not be the best route for everyone. \"There could be a small number who may not find this to be the most suited to their strengths and learning styles,\" it said.

Which is why we find plenty of 250s and 260s opting for the standard Express stream.

The most impt thing is to aim to score well for stellar results in whatever the kids are doing..... every one will rather have a 6 A1s o level cert than to be in IP and then end up not doing well...... no point.....
