That's true. For P4 GEP English, the students have to read 1 compulsory book (A Single Shard) and 1 fiction book from the book list for the assignment / project. Here is the book list : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JPhtKxwzz4Ky7KvL2a-tT7tmdc2-Xqiv7lDM86hmsUw/edit?usp=sharing

Our son, unfortunately doesn't like to read. We were actually surprised on how he passed the GEP test last year, especially the English test. My guess is MOE must have chosen students who are strong in either Math, or English, or both.

Congratulations for all the P3ers regardless of the test result. They are all superstars !

good list.

I used to scour the internet / blogs/ forums for such reading list and systematically (not quite la, maybe during sale only) pass 1-2 books to my kids every other month.

Thanks Angga888 for the list. Will explore it


My kid loves Harry Potter and has read it many many times (Speed reading) Any suggestions on other similar series that would be a good read?

Usually I just go to the library and borrow books from young adults that are featured on the shelves, especially best-sellers 😂 (except anything romantic) Same book for my p6 and p3. Most time I let my p6 read first to “censor” where necessary

I used to read books again and again too... but that was until I discovered there was something known as \"computers\". I think if you can keep his interest in books, that is great. But I'm not sure how you can \"censor\" him from smartphones, computers, etc.

Mine both girls. So far, their use of tech is quite regulated. “Censoring” of books is on anything sensual/romantic for now. What I borrow for them is really random cos I never read the books myself (risky… 😅) if they like the book then I borrow more from same author. i ran out of luck as last few books have not been as interesting. The authors which they like are not on the Angga888 list at all except for the classics (first few on the list). my P3 still loves Harry Porter so I’m looking out for next best options for her

Hi Chief,

have you appeared in a TV program with Steve Chia?

If yes - then the part about \"until I discovered\" makes sense.
we lived through the age without PC, for a small part of our lives. (maybe a bigger part for you)

No. Cos we are Malay 😆 I’m sure the library Chinese books would be sufficient cos we also borrow Malay books as well

Based on what my DS is reading now, and he is also a fan of HP series books, u can consider looking at books by Tom Fletcher. No need to censor becoz the content is still tween-friendly for sure. 😊

I chanced upon this website a year ago during my search of relevant/suitable titles for my kid in an effort to satisfy his perpetual need to read. I've joined their mailing list to receive their monthly curated book recommendations via email. They have been pretty useful so far.

Err... this is pretty deep... not sure if I can understand what you are saying...
