      DS only like us to read to him. We decided to try out "quiet reading session", its took a while for him to get used. Now its become a habit of "quiet reading session" before bedtime.

            help needed!


            My son who will be P3 next year likes reading. Teacher also commented in his report book he is an "avid reader" But the problem is he only likes the "Mousey Book" Geronimo Stilton series and non fiction books about space & nature. He does read other classic like "Greek Myths, Dracula, etc…I am trying hard now to find other authors for him to read but he is not interested in Secret Sevens nor Famous Five nor Roald Dahl. Anyone can recommend any books that is fiction with some space stories?

              How about the magic treehouse #8 midnight on the moon? I think there is a fact tracker book on this too.

              If he likes this book, you can get more magic tree house books for him to read.

                  My son is 8years old, is it too late to teach him read? He don’t read stories books, only StoryBox & magazine, he looks through pictures & don’t really reads. How to get started with him? Any suggestions?

                    How about George's secret key to the universe by Stephen Hawkins and his daughter Lucy? If he likes Greek myths he might enjoy the Percy Jackson books. My son loved these.

                      anybody can enlighten when to use "Shall" and "Will"?

                      understand from my colleague, for words after the preposition "to" we no longer base on present tense, we could also use past tense depending on the sentence?

                      In the past, it always

                      Im going to play
                      Im going to swim

                      Under what circumstances, we can use

                      to PLAYED
                      to SWIMED

                      Most books i come across doesnt have any explanation on it

                      thanks
