Plum-cake,
I've been experiencing difficulties accessing this site. :?:

Saw several Maths titles under Study Helpers...but definitely have sufficient for P2 Personally, I feel that if this bookfest is on till 27/11, then 'hot' titles which are finished should be replendished...to be fair to parents who go all the way to Suntec.

Managed to grab several titles for P3...some were 4 for $9.90, or else $2.90 each. Most of the titles are either EPH, SAP and Marshall Cavendish. I was very happy but my hubby was shocked when the bill came out to be $175...story books and stationery could also be the cause....hehehe.

I went there on Sunday eve. most of the assesment books were finished. staff around that section looked tired but helpfull. willing to search and find ...

I might go tomorrow afternoon. I saw study helpers but didn buy. i bought elite yesterday at popTPY. some books on sale are not sale in branches that is compo books by Liza T. in pop TPY is not on sale only at suntec.

Plum-cake,
I love your recommendations for Eng and Math They are do-able...but I try to avoid the challenging titles as my daughter is not up to it. Next week, her teacher at RC will be teaching P2 Math syllabus.

No worries, we are all here to share.
I am presently using Ace Synthesis & Transformation Skills...can be bought at Big Bookshop at Clementi.
However, this other title came highly recommended by 2 of my friends...It's Synthesis And Transformation [Paperback] by Carolyn Lee.

For english, you can try books by Liza Tan, the model essays there are good, there was a longman creative writing that I bought before about 2 yrs ago but now I can't find it. TAS creative writing book is of course one of the best. I think good to get model compo books because at least you have some idea of what to look out for in your child's writing.

Sorry I cant help much for chinese, I leave that totally to tuition as I cant help with chinese.

Liza Tan's books are available at popular sale. verry cheap. I bought vol 1 and 2. (P3&4) but I think Its available up to vol 4.

Hi plum,

I bought that P5 'editing, punctuation, synthesis & transformation' from pop suntec at $5. Can't resist it :evil: since not many pop outlets have it...told myself, what the heck...this eng section is here to stay, might as well get it now.

Just opened ceremony for my P6 \"mastering cloze\" by geetha menon/Mia Ali. So, it's 2 grammar cloze, 1 comprehension cloze + 1 exercise on synthesis every morn now. Oh yes, 2 exercises from 'expand your vocab' 2x a week.
