Personally find book 40+abit too easy for k2 ESP now oredi in aug...

Agree. My boy is 2 months into MPM and doing books 27 and 28.
So he will be doing 39, 40 by middle of next month (3rd month).
Sounds like Snow1976's DD started off at about the same books as my boy.

But unlike her DD, my boy is only in K1.

K2 children at this time are doing SG081 and above. The advance level children already move on to the P1 materials.


You need to encourage your dd to be more independent, focus (not day dreaming), learning attitute must be positive.

The materials can skip, no choice, if behind time. SG081 above is more important and appropriate for P1 preparation. In this material, it covers word problems, sudoku, coins, tracing lines, very very challenging materials.

If the child is not ready, then go for slower pace.

It depends on individual child...After he complete Jelic ie b4 mpm, ur child has to take the test to determine his starting pt.

Hi,


Just started the MPM pgm, would like to check is it every week limit to 2 workbooks? i.e. kid get to do both books half each and the bal. 1/2 bring home to do as homework.
After completed the 2 workbooks, it should be returned to student or MPM kept it?

[SAHM_TAN]

Yup, 2 bks per wk. kids get to keep the tools but completed bks are with mpm. The parents will get to see the marked bks then will be given back to the centre to keep.

Not necessary 2 materials per week. It depends on the child’s attitude, development over the months.


Some kids refuse to do homework, how?

Some kids even refuse to concentrate in the class. Prefer to be in his/her world. The teachers have reminders all the time and even informed the parents. But there is still no change in the kid’s behaviour. Within 90 mins only do 3 pages.

So the materials are still depends on the instructor’s decision whether the kids are competent enough to complete 2 materials within the stipulated time.

Parents should not challenge the instructor because of materials.
