[Serendipity]

Oh, okie! Finally figured it out… managed to find the links in the NLB catalogue.

hi serendipity,


Advise you to look out for these books and try out first. I am a ‘victim’ of too many books in store and many of these we don’t re-read. Unless you have multiple kids to pass down too, you may find storage space is limited for the other titles to be bought.

Mine is also at 3a now, getting new words NAND I also hv to slow down. She more like to read the previous two books loudly cos no new words mah then I just let her read lor , no harm. But for the new pages, a bit headache. Dun want push her cos afraid she will lose interest, I hope learning is funfor her. , but if not push , her progress is slow, dun know what level need reach before she be in pri 1?

no stress, just try ur best to get her to read as much as she can besides P&J i read story books to her and also i set goal, each month, she will read a short story on her own that we read to her daily/alternate day.. the story will only have 10pages the most.. this way, i feel, she can remember the usage of words in sentences too.. so far it works for her and me..

I second that. I'm also a victim of too much buying. And usually DS won't reread fiction books.

hee hee, I'm a victim of my own making. :oops: Now I stick to buying books that can't be easily found in the library, or classics that I love, or books with very nice covers (very shallow, but it looks good). started on the Nicholas series becos exterior is like fabric, very pretty. Lucky the series is fantastic read - shallow does have its rewards. :faint:

Then you better avoid the bookfairs thread like mad.... I think I helped lead mummy of 2 onto the path of no return after all that recommendation on books. :nunchuk:

btw, sorry to say that, previous mph sales did include those usborne readers. I got many of them for like $2-3 only....grab like siao. I don't see these anymore at recent fairs.

Actually i used to love buying novels when i was in primary school. Then later realised I end up keeping them on the shelves to collect dust, hahah… So I stopped. But now with DD, it’s a different challenge to restrain myself!!
