About the STELLAR program

KSP:

Are all schools using the same STELLAR contents? My DD's school is using STELLAR but not all the same as mentioned above.

The books are divided into different packages. So you have to know the package your child's school purchases.

Having seen my DS through this P1 year, personally I don't see a need to buy the books for home use (just my personal opinion)...

What I did was to refer to the learning sheets (workbooks they use together with the books) for the grammar that is covered for each book, and coach him separately based on those grammar/vocab guide books we can easily get from bookstores. The learning sheets would detail clearly the grammar that is to be covered so we can follow-up in that manner. I personally see a need to get additional worksheets in accordance to the sequence of the teaching, as the learning sheets are limited for practice.

Ultimately we want them to know how the learnings from the books are applied elsewhere in other scenarios or exercises, so I don't see a need to repeat going through the big books with them. :lol:

Most schools would have their English HOD to share on the Stella programme, during the orientation. It happened for my DS. You can then get hold of the HOD and ask her for the titles? I know of parents who did that... :lol:

There is no English text books in the booklist for my dd P1. The only book she needs to buy for English is Magic Finger by Roald Dadl. Next year P2 is Fantastic Mr Fox also by Roald Dadl.

I remeber using some of them at Julia Gabrial’s edu drama class. I still have the work sheets they provide. e.x. Mr.Gumpy’s outing

I wonder … how do kids improve their grammer with Stellar programme?


Don’t get me wrong. After what I’ve read so far, sounds like a great programme in cultivating reading interest and most importantly no textbooks - excellent!
