j.a.m.:
6 more weeks of teaching (incl this week) and 1st SA1 paper starts on 7th week on Monday 6 May....KSP:
7 weeks to SA1.... i can foresee a drastic drop in dd's SA1 results is unavoidable..... now is all depend on how i manage my expectation and emotion.....
you got 7 weeks? my dd only 6, & her prog from now till then seems so packed....
stifling under the mountain load of CL hw/tingxie/mini tests again... :imdrowning:
:nailbite: :scared:

j.a.m.:
yes, i also agree one has to start early if want to go with TLL.... otherwise there will be a lot of catching up in both sch and enrichment in the upper primary..... to be able to catch the ball during TLL lessons is a challenge..... the child may lose interest and find it boring if can't catch anything..... to be frank i think P5 is a bit too late to start with TLL if one expects TTL to do magic and help to pull up the falling grades in CA1/SA1.... imho, P2/3 is the right time.... although start from P1 is the best if parents are comfortable with it....
hmmm... was wondering how to react to this...Laura02:
The other day, I walked to TLL and asked them the cost of lessons there. Its about $80 per lesson for English. Then I walked home and asked dd if she wanted to join her friends there for tuition. Nope, even if they do allow their students to borrow storybooks from their well stocked library, she said. So I told I would send her for tuition if she did badly for the mid-year exams.
so you walked home from TLL? the one in United Square? you also walk your dd to school?
anyway, before I get :torchme: :torchme: , let me clarify that my dd1 has been with them since p2 (after a disastrous p1). They have been quite effective in maintaining her grades after an initial lacklustre year. Heck, my dh believes in them so much that I have to signed up my ds2 this year when he goes into p1 :razz:
that being said, my dd is always trying to make me let her quit tll cos she really wanna be tuition-free! however, our take is that the foundation in el must be very very strong because 3 of the core subjects are taught in el. Not only that, even in maths & science, it is very important to be able understand the nuances of the questions and present your answers so that they are relevant to the questions. All these depends very much on how strong your language is. After some training, the kids will not assume that each question is asking for the same part of the answer as the last similiar one they did. They will have to read the whole question through with patience and understanding, and the questions nowadays are so so looooong.... zzzzzzzzz....
i really pity the kids nowadays... -

j.a.m.:
my dd memorises the words and their ει³οΌεεοΌεδΉ & εδΉε in the given θ―θ― list. so far, the tested words are from these groups (unlike EL, which can test anything under the sun :razz: )jedamum:
Octoberbaby,
For the editing section, did he practice on assessment books?
My boy is hit and miss on this section. It all boils down to reading regularly and knowing how the sentence flow. And also must know how to write.
Hi jam
Where does yr dd get the ει³εε etc words for revision? Which assessment books have this?
Thank you -

anyway, it all depends on the parents' conviction, beliefs & their individual parenting style. I also know that some of my ds's kindy classmates started tll in k2 & when he started 2 weeks ago, some of his p1 classmates had already begun their lessons. guess this has affirmed that there are many super kiasu parents around, & why we are all here! :boogie: :boogie:![](\"http://smileys.emoticonsonly.com/emoticons/c/cheers-2381.gif\")
