2013 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

katymum:
Hi! Welcome to the forum! I choose articles that my kid may be interested in - just so that she is exposed to grammatically sound writings. An example is an article recently about wedding busters rescuing child brides in Bangladesh. As child brides are around her age, she can empathise with their situation. Another one I picked some time ago was a write-up about legoland - as she loves theme parks, that article appealed to her too. So if your child likes soccer, or is crazy over gadgets - get him to read such write-ups. It doesn't have to be dry, uninteresting news which we ourselves also tend to gloss over.Hi, I'm new to the forum.
My DS is weak both in English & Chinese. I know that reading newspaper can help but may I know how to choose articles from the newspaper? My DS don't read Strait Times nor LianHeZhaoBao articles, found is a bit difficult to understand from it. Is Little Red Dot and Big Thumb available in school holiday?
Our school doesn't have little red dot, and I understand that it is only available through school subscriptions. I've heard of big thumb but have never laid hands on a copy before. I do know that they are being sold at most buzz pods - perhaps u could enquire at one of the outlets?
P/s I don't do that for Chinese though, as I myself read the articles at an excruciatingly slow pace.
So we just contend ourselves with zhi Shi bao.

Hi
Im looking for math tutor urgently. My DS usually score 80 for the math but 66 for this year. Am very worried and hoping that the tutor can provide intensive revision for her P5 work before starting of p6. Anyone have good recommendation??
As a working parent, it is real tough to monitor the kid homework and work at the same time esp have to work late most of the time. -
Hi my gal didn’t do well in her math too but I m just wondering is it her or the tutor? This is her 3rd tutor.

Hi. Do you know any good English tutor? TIA

DS did not pass his Maths. I don’t even know how to begin P5 revision to build him up again, not to mention how to battle P6 syllabus and face the pressure cooker next year:( He is so disappointed with himself and my heart aches…a lot to see him so beaten up.
Just started on his fourth tutor, can only hope for the best. Just voicing out here but trying hard to put up a positive front to continue cheering him on. -

I can sense that he has been trying hard. P5 covers most of the PSLE topis. Try to find out which topics he does not understand & focus on those topics. Make good use of the school holidays to pick up. Give himDS did not pass his Maths.

encourage & praise him for
trying & for every small improvement he makes. -
Dd didn’t do well in Math too - dropped to 77 from 83 (SA1). Her Chinese is worse - 63.5/90. The irony of it all is these two subjects she has tuition. While the other two subj Eng & Science - no tuition and she did well. I don’t know how to help already. Quite desperate coz next year is PSLE.

Sorry to jump in...but do give your child lots of encouragement when he/she goes to P6. Teachers will push like crazy. Sit down with your son and ask him which area he needs help. Son flunked math overall in p5 bcos his ca1 and sa1 pulled him down. At p6, the big picture is PSLE, not that prelim is not impt but look ahead.DS did not pass his Maths.

Can’t sleep at night, eyes are wide open thinking of what is the next step. Keeps reminding myself PSLE is the big picture…hopefully things will turn around.
Thank you all for your encouragement!To other parents who are facing similar situations, let’s keep our spirits up! FOR OUR KIDS! -
