Chinese Assessment Books

[quote]Popular having 20% discount for some titles...several new titles too...but go through them before getting. There is a new one published by Marshall cavendish for only P1 and P6.

Oh yes, stick a tokuhon on your back or you will get backache from all the standing.

thanks for bringing to our attention the promotion. went to popular today to browse through some books. Didn't get any cos too heavy for me to carry them to and fro. By the way, are you aware that the B book are out under the Confucius title? It is selling at $5.50 for member, usual price $6.95.
Saw in previous posting that you are looking for it so just thought of informing you

Hi snow cloud,

Thanks for informing me.
Bought the P6 bcos my son needs the drilling.
This time round, there are several new assessment avail. Backache today, after all the standing at popular expo. But I think it is better to get from the stores bcos more titles are avail.

Hi Janet,


You are welcome. I didn't go expo this time round, usually will go for the mid and year end expo as I will need to source for more books during these period. True indeed, some titles are only available at their stores so what I normally do is buy what I want at expo, then use the year end discount to make purchases for books that can,t find at expo

I have not gone to popular expo for a while bcos of the crowd...looks like I will avoid going there again unless there is members only for 1st day.
End year, my legs are itchy and cannot avoid BookFest at Suntec. With holiday discounts, I can get several titles for next level. So my shelf is quite full with P3 titles already (daughter in P2). Perhaps end of this year can also get some reference books for sec 1.

Yup, it is a good idea to start sourcing for sec 1 during the holiday. For other subjects i am not sure, but for Chinese language, I saw new titles released late last year and early this year from sec 1 onwards which cater to those doing the newest syllabus. Hope by year end, we have more selection as sec chinese assessment books are limited.

I am still learning to buy appropriate assessment book for primary level (painful process). Secondary school kids are so busy, do they still have time to do any assessment ? Will need to seek advice from parents who have kids in sec 1...when my son is done with PSLE.

You are rigt sec sch kids are so busy that school homework project, discussion and cca are their priority list. Assessment book usually become white elephant. You can buy one and try if he will do first.

After hesitating for 1 year, I decided to get my daughter a CL tutor...gave up coaching her. Syllabus is also beyond me :nailbite: The tutor told me the format of the assessment book (written by NTU Cengage) is tough...so I think I will give the B book a miss.

:snuggles: :hugs: Janet,
guess as parents when we are at the lost or can't catch up with the latest syllabus, it best to outsource to others

You referring to the above book? (your DD is using 2A rite?) I have bought the 1A for DD2 too but again another \"sleeping beauty\" in the drawer :sad: She did 2 chapters on the HYPY and stopped there and the next that she did was the one with HYPY + writing the Chinese Character. I have to agree this book is very challenging and is more suitable for higher ability kid. My DD2 is a typical \"eat french fries\" type and me really don't have the time and patience to sit with her to go through this book; Lazy Mummy :siam:

I love the following book and super :please: :love: to find out that ALL the school tingxie words for my P1 DD2 in this term can be found in this book :rahrah: :boogie:

DH was on Medical Leave today but instead of \"resting properly\", he \"pop by\" Popular Bookstore to \"see-see-look-look\"!


Guess both of us were \"hit badly\" by P1 DD2's CL T critic comments during PTM last week so we decided that this June holiday we have to \"concentrate and focus\" more on DD2 P1 CL epsecially Oral & Listening Compre

DH proudly watsapp me what he got for DD2 this afternoon:-
