      There might be a Popular expo sale during the 1 week holidays...or else you may have to wait till year end (BookFest in Dec) at Suntec.

      Just to check, from your experiece, do Popular bring in all their assessment publications during expo sale? Last yr, my focus was not on assessment books, so I did not pay attention to this section. Thanks.

      I'm hopping Popular will conduct the sale at their branches as well during their expo sale. If at Expo, it will be too far for me 😢

      Yes they bring in assessment book cos I bought before...

          From what I know, they start teaching from P1 onwards. I started to teach my kids when they were in K2 to help them get ready for P1. Some schools like my kiddo's school also start with simple heuristics for P1. Headache!

              Hi All!


              Just for sharing~~~ šŸ˜„

              Find the following book is good for introducing Primary School English for the children. This book is recommended by Mummy Plum_Cake in the P1/P2 English thread and am thinking perhaps to drop a note here to share too! :grphug:

              Popular is selling this book at $4.60 (usual price is $5.90) for members. Promotion will end on 31 Aug. I just bought one for my girl.

                Popular does bring in all the assessment books to Expo...but I would prefer to go to the stores now instead...Expo is too far and parking there is expensive.

                      It depends on your rationale for the enrichment classes.

                      From kindy, I only sign my kids up on the core, so these will stay with them. These are academic based. They only have 2 non-academic ones, which will stay as well. This is because for the non-academic ones, one is long term investment, the other is till P1/P2 purpose.

                      My focus is on academics and 1/2 non-academic.

                        What classes is your dd attending now?


                        Mine is continuing with her arts & music classes. She has been taking these 2 classes since K1 & enjoys them so definitely continuing.
                        Added English enrichment & speech & drama in the beginning of P1 and Chinese creative writing last month.
