3rd one must be learn speed reading right? :evil:

Was just thinking about this. Speed reading was very helpful when i had to read tons of cases in uni! Would have died without knowing how to do this

But primary school, don't need yet i guess.

Plus, there could be a downside if they start too early. So I'm waiting till she's older before I train her in speed training.

See... that was how I felt too.. some start from aug on P1.. I just started in this month but then again... we know our DD/DS standard well. From what you have mentioned before, your DD is doing ok except for HYPY , right?

Over there, some kids who are very capable, parents also start early :evil:

The bold part, I blur liao, so re-learning lor. I bought English guides during bookfest. Now re-learning the rules from scratch


As for the model compo, I think it stifles their imagination instead of helping. But I did buy the TAS creative writing book to find out what's the standard and what examiners are looking out when they grade. PSLE is more about giving what the examiners want with wow factor. Also dunno can achieve or not sianz man.

Ah, I was \"drilled\" by my grand dad each time I went back to Malaysia for Holidays.. He was a principal lol so you can imagine my :slapshead:

Bought a Grammar Guide Book also and using that to teach DD1 step by step.. which is making her :? so taking it really slowly

Correct! If the teacher is some fantasy minded person lol, you write out a science fiction related type of compo.... you might unknowingly lose marks. So the trick is to write out a compo which appeals to all and still have the flair to gain points

think your standard too high :rotflmao:

yet to start DD1 on creative writing, don't find her too creative at the moment :rotflmao: , gosh I do feel bad saying this.

I have to guide DD1 on creative writing. She's imaginative, can see that when she role-plays. But she's weak in English becos we speak Mandarin at home. DH is not changing this policy becos he feels that English can be picked up faster. So I ask her questions to guide her for creative writing. I'm ok with that. I have 6 more months to help her to progress.
