Preparing kids for P5 in 2011

[tinkfirst]

It’s a tough calling to ask my DD to read The Straits Times. How to interest her? I think by reading ST will improving not only General Knowledge/ current affairs, also vocabulary. She is selective when choosing story books too. Aiyah, headache…

It's tough enough getting him to pick up a book to read...so tired of nagging but how else to improve his English and Chinese ???

Got so mad with him last night...gave him few pages of vocab to do...told me he doesn't understand the words. Asked him what is the dictionary for ? :x

KoalaMummy, just go if you want, heck care if others call it too ks. I think for those planning for DSA, should be about time. I haven't yet, keep thinking probably he will go to one nearby (pray hard t-score is ok), if really turns out well then we will take it from there. Mine also no impact if see the school but I tried prep talk about the t-score through the school holidays and seems to have absorbed a little.


ST - What I did was flip through for interesting articles more related to local news and kid's life, then cut out for him to read. My ds is okay with reading EL but the 'advantages' not coming out in the compo :stupid: He also lazy to check dictionary and for those he came across before and did check - forgets !

Hi KoalaMummy,

No harm bringing your child to have a feel.
For my son, there is no impact bringing him to take a look...I'm hoping he will wake up and work very hard when school reopens.

Hi pixiedust,
I get him to use Besta to check the meanings of those words in Conquer Vocab, then write it down. Those words which his teacher made him check and write out all forgotten
