Make sure you do justice to all the items you have bought and do fun stuff with your boi boi before school reopens. Husbands see the light when they see results. My hubs even co-sponsored some of my materials seeing how the kiddies progress and blossom beautifully under my patient and passionate efforts. :please:


Good luck! :xedfingers:

Hi buds!... Not sure if you have visited the recent book fair at Suntec last mth - that was my \"virgin trip\" and got a :yikes: of my life seeing parents piling up assessment books & story books like nobody's business!!.... Tempting it may be (I went there 3 days!!), i tried to control my spending ESP buying MORE books means that I hv to spend MORE time to run thr' with them.. not tt i m unwilling, i try to be realistic with the amt of time i hv after work & on wkends....i know i cant complete e books..... :skeptical:

But of course i really :salute: the parents who do manage to run thr' most of the books with their kids... I dont hv obedient kids who will follow my timetable (I HAVE ONE FOR EACH OF THEM!!) to do their work esp when i m at work..on top of that, my patience starts to run out v fast when they r disobedient and i m exhausted aft work.. :frustrated:

Having said that, despite the fatigue aft work, one of my most enjoyable times at home is to sit and read with them or to play a game or two w them...and also late at night, to read thr' KSP forum on tips and ideas on how to make learning more fun from shi-fu like u... :udawoman:

Hi buds/SAHM_Tan

Just visited Sep 21.... amazing place!!!... :love:
Heaven for teachers and parents who are keen to teach their kids at home!!... Bought some books, among them only found 1 set of InnovativeKids Level 1 :

Currently Sep 21 does not carry the rest of the levels...
There are sooo many phonics readers (SOOO TEMPTED!!! :politebleah: ) but some are pretty ex like $80/set, alittle hesitant to get them.. esp not sure if my DS will enjoy or not...

Buds, i found the velcro calendar at Sep 21 too and it costs $93! :yikes:
Better back to Growing Fun.... :rahrah: :rahrah:

Sep21 is also one of my santuary too but i usually go there to take photos of the books and then off to buy it from somewhere which is much much cheaper even after factoring shipment cost. Me very cheapo right. :rotflmao:


Sometimes you can get these phonics books (even those recommended by Buds) at temporary bookstore. Just 3 weeks ago, i went to one such at thomson plaza. Selling quite cheap as well. Buy 2 get 1 free promo.
