Hiya buds!
Somehow I didn't see this post from you, paiseh. So now I'm very perplexed - how come KSP was in Digital Life way back in, let me see, March?? Not very clued in, sorry, drowning in exam woes (myself, not my kids)!

Hey Buds,


Thank you so much for your advise. yes, I am undecided between enrichment programmes to prepare him in the areas that are lacking or just to put him into Kindergarten and let the school do the job. However I am also worried that the school might be confusing for him since he did not follow the programme from the beginning of the year.

However, thanks for the advice anyway.

Cheers

Need to admit my daughter to P1 next yr. Gosh I work hard with her. But reading things on this site worries me as to how much I must prepare her more. But poor kids.

I am considering CHIJ (OLPS) at Serangoon Garden or Paya Lebar methodist. Prefer OLPS as its a Catholic school & morning session. heard that PLMS is better with academics though. Pls advise

Salute & Applause Buds!!!


Thanks for all the wealth of info u have.

I personally do not like STELLAR PROGR, my son’s school (Northland Pri) uses both STELLAR and MY PALS ARE HERE text…kiasuism in place!

Hi,


The registration date is drawing near. I'm not so stressful about the registration part. I'm more kan chong about my son's \"ready-ness\" for Primary 1. :shock:

Currently, he is attending weekly phonics lessons. He can read books now. Started him on the spelling also. On top of that, bought him some pre-primary 1 enrichment books for maths and english.

Just wondering if the above is enough. Should I send him for prep classes? If yes, any suggestion? :?

If I decide to prep him myself, which are the areas that I should focus on? :?

Mummies, your advices pls. Very much appreciated. :?:

Thank you

I personally don’t think prep classes are necessary for P1, especially as your son can read and write. You don’t want him to get too bored in school.

If your child can read and speak simple English and Chinese books at this point, she is doing fine already. Have you read http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/preparing-primary-school yet?
