[quote=\"Brenda10\"]
Is the idioms come in 3 books (Blue colour) and phrasal verbs (Green colour) in 2 books ? If yes then I think we were buying the same stuff.

You are talking about the learners publication.....Yes I have thoes too..each 5$+ KSP

Did you say it costs $5 each ? I paid $7 for each book (idioms set of 3) then. Just found the books in one corner of son's storybooks. Will have to start son to read and remember the idioms...hopefully some can stick in his head and be of use to spice up compos. Recently, his teacher has been getting the class to do situational writing though.[/quote]Thats why I want to clarify..weather I am talking abt the same book..

Mine is
Learners...Idioms for practice...Betty Kirkpatrick...bt for 5.25 at pop. T.Payoh( have 1,2,3)

Learners ....Phrasal Verbs for practice...Stephen Curtis..5.25.at pop T.Payoh 1,2

Hi plum-cake,

Mine are also from Learners but not the author you mentioned…I thought I saw the name Rosalind Fergusson or something like that.

Hi plum-cake,

The Idioms books I bought earlier have cartoon pictures on the right and text on the left…written by Rosalind Fergusson.
Decided to get the Phrasal Verbs just now (2 books).

Saw this title just now at Popular IMM…The Essential Parents’ Guide to Primary Maths by Dr Fong Ho Keong…but not ‘Top marks’ by Dr Fong Ho Keong.

Hi plum-cake,


Has your DD's sch started teaching models yet? DD is also in P2. She just started yesterday and told me it's confusing. I have exposed her to models but looks like it takes a while before they can fully grasp the concept. Looks like I must go thru with her again this weekend..
