Addoil:

Do you think will be neglect of the K2 gal, just because of more forcus on the P1 gal?

Actually I think the younger one will be happy enough that I am not watching behind her back closely :lol:
In fact I do not think I neglect her if I did not spend as much time on school work like I do for her elder sister..

Hi all,


Sorry to ride on this thread. Wonder if anyone heard of LUK from Germany? It is similiar to Logical. I am interested to purchase Veritech (an advancement to LUK - using the same controller). Anyone has any idea where can I get it (shop or Internet)?

TIA!

Believe the cheapest is still through Amazon.com, I guess the local shop that sells LUK could be expensive.

thanks a lot!

I used LUK system before. It’s a great game, but after some time, it’s kinda boring cos the game is very repetitive. and for that price, it’s not so worth it.


I paid around $150 for the controller and just 1 set comprises of 5 books (not the complete set).

Hello everyone:


We were approached by grobooks at the baby fair today at expo. This was the first time, I have come across such educational books, and pretty impressed with the set Disney Words Words Words…think was like 6 books in a set? Asked about the price, however was told by the sales person, they don’t just sell by a single set. Was offered to pick any 3 sets at 970, with free book case plus 1 free consultancy service in the comfort of your home, to teach you the right way to teach your kiddos. Was pretty keen but a little skeptical over the non-transparency of the books prices. Read a little bit more on the Internet, and amazed that some parents a few years back spent more than 2k on the books plus some Logico products; from the description, sounds like the IQ product I was also shown at the fair. So at 970 it prob seems prices had come down alittle?
Now my question is. So far had anyone here use their services, and reviews pls? It do appears to me that it’s a pretty good edu tool to self teach my ever active boy, to start picking up reading and vocab. I’m actually quite keen to just get the Disney words set, but cant seem to find a price to it on the net. Any offers on 2nd hand ones? Do PM me. Thanks all.

I got the set with the logico product at $2k plus many years back. The logico was well utilised..and as for the books, it was collecting dusts for the first 2 years until my #2 started to learn reading..even to date..after 5 years, my kids do still read the pictorial encyclopedia for leisure. Now I am waiting for my #3 to be older to start him with the Logico set..so I guess it is a worthwhile investment for me. I know of a mother who also bought the set with me at the same time..but none of the kids are keen with the books except the logico sets. So in the end, she sold the books away.

I see…thanks for the info…I prob will just look around and see and 2nd hand offers…thanks man!

My personal opinion is education needs not to spend tons of $$$$.

Do visit library often enough and should you really want to buy, go for used books, cheaper and might be still in new condition.

For encyclopedia, it updates regularly, please dont’t buy and wait for your kids to get ready to read. Do look for real pictures should you need one. Anyway all these information are readily available in library or Internet.

I agreed with Charmaine_chong. I spend few thousands on a entire set of encyclopedia for juniors to advance learners, history… and younger readers to advance reader…(thinking I will make full use of them since I am a stay home mum) In the end, they are now white elephants! There are plentiful of resources in library, bookshops, internet…need not spend so much $$$. Don’t be like me, very KS, buy everything I can find but never make full use of them as new/updated materials are available easily.
