Thanks phtthp for your encouragement.

My son had passed the P1 Headstart assessment and will be starting classes on Saturday.
I asked about P1 Headstart in Maths but they are unsure if they would start the same when they move to Parkway Centre (Marine Parade) in February. But I feel that if more of the parents express interest in having their children attend it, then I am sure the Management would be able to start it:)

Congratulations, Ran !
your son cleared the assessment for \"P1 HeadStart English\" and this Sat starting his first lesson. Enjoy ! my girl said the class is interesting !

as for \"P1 HeadStart Maths\", currently it's only available at Thomson Plaza.
Management said they'll consider opening a new Maths class at Parkway Centre (Marine Parade), if can get hold of minimal number of kids interested.

any parents whose children had gone through Maths programme (Thomson Plaza) ?
how you find it ? is it just worksheets or got play games to reinforce concept ?

I see. Thanks

My son had gone through the placement test for P1 Headstart programme and have been offering a slot. He was tested with a considered not so thin story book consist about 20 pages. Each page is about 30-50 words. Few questions were asked after the reading. A short interview had been carried out before and after the test. I was sweat throughout haha... All in all the whole process took more than 30mins.

I would strongly suggest keen parents to ensure your child reading readiness before going for the test. :xedfingers:

Just to update on my DD’s assessment for P1 HeadStart English Programme last Sat. She went through a similar assessment shared by other parents in this thread. Was asked to read a book, which was followed by the tester setting written questions around the book she read and for her to provide written answers to the questions. Finally, she was asked to write down in a sentence what she likes to do in her free time. I was told lessons are expected to start after CNY or this March, once the class is formed.

Yes assessment is needed.
The kid needs to know how to read instructions (e.g. some reading ability must be there), know how to write numbers in words etc.
