      They are shown how to understand it as repeated addition. 😉


      Yaah.. the privileged children get additional external help from learning
      centres outside on top of attending preschool daily.. but the less privi...
      have to play catch up when the time comes. So.. whose to really be
      blamed for the rat race that they themselves created?

      It's like how they say.. the rich become richer and the poor? Well.... :roll:

          Heyya venus77… which level is your child in?


          By P1 and P2 levels, it is normal for teachers to give ten words a week
          according to the Stellar pgrm story book for the month…with or without
          dictation. Likewise for comprehension… the students will be taught to look
          for clue words even within the questions, which they will highlight or
          bracket to make emphasis on the answers to look out for and how to
          write them correctly. As for the speed, ideally the children shouldn’t
          spend too long especially for short passages with straightforward
          questions… for the whole exam format English paper should be
          completed within a time frame usually about 1.5 hours. There
          should be time for children to check their work upon finishing
          any exam papers.

            Hi buds


            My son is in K2 now. So the pace he is doing now is on par with P1 standards.

              If you look at it in a positive way, it is good that his preschool

              is preparing him for formal primary education. 😉

                My boy is in K2. He has weekly 10 words for spelling and 6 words for tin xie.


                The English words are sounded quite alike like fern and firm, berg and burn. Sounds like testing their listening skills. He’s phonic based so sometimes he remember via his phonic ways.


                Tin Xie words are pretty difficult words, short and long sentence.

                    My daughter’s PCF is just abt to start on their Eng spelling next week, in the middle of Term 2. There I was wondering when will the school start. Seems to me my colleagues’ children who are in childcare (rather than kindergarten) started way earlier and has more challenging assignments…i

                      my dd gets 5 spelling words and 5 for chinese every week. goes according to theme…


                      like itz on food, they get words like spicy, sweet, etc…

                      so far i find it quite ok…she only takes less than 5mins to ‘study’ for her spelling. but ting xie she needs to practise more before letting us test her.

                      her k2 got creative writing but still beginning stage… so the only way i can help her is to get her to read more…

                        i think if ur worried, can just test them at home… u create ur own list since u know what are the themes they r getting in school…


                        im thinking of stretching dd further coz she takes her spelling v easily…like no need to study like tat… so will start taking words from theme to add on.

                        but judge ur kid’s stress level…if u know they r up to their limit, then got to stop le…

                        if they seem to take it ez, then tat means that they can cope with more difficulty…
