Just curious...what levels are the books above suitable for?

P1/ 2/ 3 or higher? I mean, they are wordy and need imagination to really grasp what is talking there...

I used to get hooked onto those books and can read a few in a day... got quite upset when I realized that I read all that they had published...lol! no more dreaming...back to reality!

Have you heard of Malory Towers? think itz a series too...about school boarding. Wonder what level is it suitable for?

Hi deardear07,

They are suitable for P2-P4. Yes we have read the Malory Towers
and St Clares too. It is suitable for P3-P6. They are very fun
and engaging reads, just that the vocabulary used is rather simple
compared to book by Chris Ryan and Anthony Horowitz.

oh…think i missed your bookfair… is there a list that you keep to inform us of the upcoming events?


Your reccomendations seem good and would like to purchase some for my dd in K2 this year.

Other than phonics (usbourne/ magic schoolbus, etc) books, haven’t been exposing her to much…just some random books from the library and she can read some on her own with little intervention from us. probably words like certain…tricky c so sometimes she gets confused…

we got her some usbourne young readers level 2 - chapter stories and am starting her on Geromino books though…

bought her scholastic sight word readers and she was able to read 95% of the words in the entire set of books… she should be fine for now? or is she still lagging?

Hi TAS,


I am waiting for email of phrases for 1 book which I purchased during the bookfair as the phrases list was not available that day. Have you started emailing those on your list yet ?

Hi TAS,


My boy is in P2 this year. He likes to read many of the series that you have recommended in this thread such as the Magic Treehouse, Charlie Bone, Charlie Small, Jack Stalwart and Beastly! series. Can you recommend any good series for him?

Thanks!

Hi jesschan,

Has he tried books by Andrew Norriss? His stories are usually
very interesting. We have recommended some of his titles before.

You can look out for the following titles:

1) The Portal
2) Aquila
3) Cntrl-Z

Hi TAS


Do you still have the Beastly Series By Andy Baxter? If yes, how much are you selling?

Thanks,
