Quick...hide the evidence...else if you add more packs of books, just say they were already there. must collect some dust in advance to sprinkle on top.
Hahaha! That is what i normally do.
Luckily DH has yet to complain yet. I hope he will not.
Partly DH appreciates that as well coz the kids have been reading alot and that is a good habit. That will also means no tuition thereafter. :rahrah:

No no no. :yikes: Must encourage the child to read ALOT of books. All the more the child must read alot before starting primary school otherwise got no time to read during primary school years.autumnbronze:
Spent a bomb already ....... study room still filled with unpacked bags of books
your child may not have time to read / practise all the story books / Assessment books you had purchased. Consume those you'd already bought, before you attempt buying new ones ... else end up white elephant on the book shelves.
Should not encourage doing so many assessment books as that will not help much in compo or compre section. -

On the assessment books - is it? Doing assessments won't help in compre? -

Still, I've put him in an enrichment centre for english. Read alot dun mean good writer (this skill need practice and our friend dun like to do).
That said, both my kids got no problem with spelling/dictation (got mistakes but usually it's becos they can hear the word wrongly). Also it helps in general knowledge becos they like nonfiction - it better count for something when it comes to science next time. -

Actually that is because many children and even adults skim through the books for the storyline. How many of us as an adult actually copy down the beautiful phrases or words for the writing? How many of us as an adult actually take the time and enjoy and savour the beautiful phrases of description and note it down? None actually. So you are right that reading alot does not mean a good writer. BUT loving reading, takes time to enjoy and savour the beautiful phrases while reading do make a good writer. That is why out there in the market, there are loads of assessment books that sells composition phrases.Read alot dun mean good writer (this skill need practice and our friend dun like to do).
If as a parent does know how to do that, then perhaps send the child to the creative writing classes. If wanting to save the $, then parents go for creative writing workshop and train the child. It is actually quite \"easy\" but only need parents to persevere and consistent.
My DS has been doing that almost everynight and he loves writing. Almost every month, my DS1 will submit a composition in the Usborne monthly prize draw through his cousin in UK. So that really motivates him when his compo was recommended.
Enjoy.

Notice that I used the term \"will not help much\". To further up the notch, reading comprehension is still the way to go for lower primary school.

Since your preschooler is very free, you can start by doing reading comprehension. It is true that this work very well for up to lower primary school. Well I can say that for both my DS1 and DS2 and my nieces.
Enjoy
