Hi JRLam,Hi Trapwithin, this is an extremely well-written summary for most parents! Not bad (in fact very impressive!) from a DAD
Just curious, what's your sources other than KSP? I am always the one to provide my DH these info, how I wish he can reciprocate a bit!
On the part of double-checking - let me share the method I use. Instead of asking (or nagging!) my kids to double-check their work, I 'challenge' my kids to count how many careless mistakes they manage to find for themselves after each paper. So they will always come back, after every exam paper, 'bragging' how many careless mistakes they spotted, in a 'see, I managed to find them!' manner .. HA! Deep in my heart, I am happy coz that every careless mistake spotted means at least 1 more mark added to the results (provided it is corrected with the right answers lah!). So far, it works, and it is more fun for the kids!
Hope it helps other kids too!
Learn a lot from KSP here, the rest (good & bad) are personal experience.
After the HYPY episode, I kan cheong .. that's why more involved. After that, I discovered being involved can somethings be very fulfilling as well. I actually enjoy being involved.

I always thought learning a word by its Chinese character is more important too and HYPY is really just a tool to help one read an unfamiliar word, similar to the function of a dictionary.dyh:
My son's tuition teacher is doing the reverse, she uses correction tapes to erase all the hanyu pinyin from the Chinese text :roll: She claims this way is better to force the child to read the characters instead of the hanyu pinyin
Sad to say, it is true. There'll be no hanyupinyin for compre passages during exams. Although all my dd's CL storybooks have HYPY, I will let her practice with other schools' compre passages, or from assessment books frequently, just to make sure she doesn't rely too much on HYPY.
However, when ds went for a CL assessment recently, the centre made him read a whole passage solely with HYPY and he can't read it well. He has learnt HYPY but never have to read a whole passage of it before.
Will this be required in Primary education? -

Will this be required in Primary education?[/quote]let children to learn HYPY in DVD before they go to primary school, because P1 HYPY's teaching, too rough and too fast.. once can use it skillful, then give up it, like E3 is to say, dont rely it on reading. -

Is this an assessment book? Does it teaches the concept or learning is by going through the questions and answers?E3:
I am a faithful fan of Fabian Ng's Problem Solving Process. It is a \"compulsory\" Math assessment book. Too bad not available for P1. I used to use the older version many years ago, the new editions are still just as good. Although I don't let my dd attempt all the questions (no time), she must do questions involving all the modelling skills.
yes, agreed... Problem Solving Process is a good book....
Like Funx3, I have teached ds applied model incorrectly several times and I guess I have made it more confusing for him. It will be good if I can grasp the concept from this book fully before I guide ds along.
In my time, there is no such thing as model method! -
