Hi parents, I’m new to TAS. Where can I browse a copy of the book? Which title/volume is suitable for P2 going to P3 kid? How much are the books & are they available at popular? I am fine with used book if your child has passed the stage and you are keen to hand me the book. Many thanks!

Hi, if you like to browse, they have a booth at bookfest currently with their creative writing and vocab book on sale.

Hi,


Anyone knows how the TAS vocab book looks like? I went to the Bookfest on Monday but could not locate it.

hi LLTan,


Towards the entrance side of the hall, there is a big signboard for e-assessment - this is near to the cashier side (NOT the one near the stage, it’s at the other end of the hall). There is a tiny table set up for TAS. The creative writing book is black in colour, and the vocab is white with a picture of a tree (made up of words). Both the books have glossy covers. It’s near the shelves of preschool materials also. Nearby you can also see the booth for Emitasia (magazines subscription, there are always people around).

Sorry if the directions are not very good.

My 2 P1 and P6 DDs will be joining TAS. Do they teach vocab using the vocab book? Do they have a grammar or synthesis book as well?

hihi,


I believe they will be using the vocab book for the mid/upper primary going forward. They do have a grammar book but that’s only sold to TAS students. BTW, spelling lists come from their spelling book.

hi hquek, thanks for the information.

[LLTan]

Hi hquek, thanks! I managed to find the book with your directions!

Pleasure!
