About the STELLAR program

[plum-cake]

Thanks all.in.one

yes pls, mean while I heard from another parent \"MOE purposely chose books that are extremely difficult for parents to buy off-the-shelf. They’re trying to discourage parents from buying them so that the pupils don’t get bored in class when they say they have already read the stories\" any way I just want to see them :lol:

I think they read "The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" too (can’t remember the exact title) cos my DD’s spelling list included words/sentences from it.

I would not want to let my boy read the book at home first, but would like to know the themes/topics so that can get similar books.

Thank you mummy(s) you are really great. sharing your values…

Yes, but be prepared to file a lot of worksheets, in my DD's case. She also had a supplementary grammar book with rules and qns inside. Sometimes, she is assigned work from that book.
