Gawd, I hate surprise tests. DS just told me the math quiz was over, around last week. No indication at all from the teacher that a quiz was coming. We didn’t even have the chance to revise with him. He told us there were some questions he didn’t know how to do…
And DS refuses to study during the weekends if teachers don’t mention there are tests coming… :x -
when my girl was p1, also got surprise quiz, esp when no exams and daily work counted. sometimes she evn nvr tell me got test:（

I wonder why, my boy also...totally no motivation and lazy to study, ask him to read books, pigs can climb trees.
And DS refuses to study during the weekends if teachers don't mention there are tests coming... :x
I hate to nag!!! :x -
my boy too, ask him do work, like torture like that.
only like to play -
Actually he does not mind doing work, but just want someone to sit by his side. He will do the work himself also. But, when it comes to reading, he totally hates it! I dunno why. I thought children would prefer to read storybooks than to do work?
Actually, whatever he does, he just want someone to sit beside him. But I dun have the time to keep doing that… :x -
same for my boy. if i m not around or not free to sit with him, he doesnt see a need to do work or read bks. unlike my girls i can leave them alone.
boys are so difficult. -
I think it is the type of books that he is not interested? Try the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. They are quite popular with young cheeky boys.
Geronimo Stilton also very engaging with its coloured contents. -
Yup, DS only reads Geronimo Stilton. Tried to get him to read Charlotte’s Web and he said it was boring after 2 chapters. His attitude is better now when it comes to getting him to read. It was terrible in Jan and Feb coz it would be such a struggle to get him to read alone in his room. Then he started getting glued to Geronimo Stilton’s 2 thicker books - Kingdom of Fantasy and its sequel - and it became easier. Now, he would nicely go to his room when I get him a new book.
I have also changed my tactic with him. Whenever he refuses to do work, I would pretend to give up, go away and let him be. No more nagging. Funny thing is, he would then go to his room and do the work! These kids are weird. But he needs someone with him if we want him to revise for tests. That’s understandable. -
wat abt beast quest? is it gd to read? most active boys like that?
my boy also like that. only see pics, dont read the words. he is k2 but havent started reading books independently, tho he can read. sigh…unless u READ WITH HIM -
Wah!! *admire*
Cherrygal... you managed to get ds interested in the Geronimo Stilton books.
I bot 2 of the books in this series the last time they were selling in school - and now these 2 bookos are collecting dust!! Ds absolutely have no interest in it! :stupid:
Now its back to those spiderman story books (whatever i can find in kino) and there are not many of these books around....
Argh!! :slapshead:
