Ahhh…stimulation is key! Actually me also younger sibling but we didn't speak much English then. I read A LOT but still struggled with the language during school days.
It may also depend on what you mean by \"read A LOT\" and what you have been reading.
I remember ploughing through all the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew and Three Investigators books I could get my hands on in primary school. Subsequent tallying revealed that they added up to maybe about 150 books or more. Don't think I started before P3. By Sec 1, I was reading bestsellers from the general fiction section. Yeah, there was notti content in them... :evil:
Never spoke a sentence of Engrish at home... -

Kekeke…in addition to what you’ve mentioned (minus the Hardy Boys as I didn’t fancy that series), I had completed series after series of Enid Blyton, C.S Lewis, and yes, bestsellers during secondary school plus many many others. In fact, I was like reading a book a day in P6, definitely add up to much more than 150 books lah….and yes, got most of the books from school library...and I think also started in P3...sunflower:

Qiu Yung Again, this is a diagnostic test. It's not about passing or failing the test. It is administered to primary 1 pupils to help teachers guage their mental capability, in particular, logical thinking and reasoning skills. That is, their cognitive ability.
