Hi all...

My son has been using Myhometutor syllabus math and creative math cd rom since P2. He's now in P4. He doesn't attend math tuition class. As he's able to do self-study, I could safely depend on these discs. I find the content very systematic and clear. I often let him complete the discs a semester ahead during the mid- or year-end holiday breaks, thus he'd be kept informed of the coming months' syllabus in school. The discs also allow me to keep in touch. I would select questions to go through them myself so as to understand how they are required to solve them right now. I started at P2 level as I was completely clueless about model drawing and heuristic process. With these discs, I gain a clear understanding.

Content wise, I see a great relevance. However it all depends alot on your children's learning style and how much discipline they have with or without supervision, as I know some children merely click and look at answers without attempting to work them out first!

Hope my little input helps.

Hi kingRascal

I have pm you on a request. Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you for sharing. Yes, I agree it all depends on the children.

Hi SweetHoney2010

I bought both ACE Your Composition (For upper primary) and Creative Mathematics (Elementary – 2nd Edition) during the book fairs few years ago when she was P2 or P3. However my DD only managed to go through partial topics of the 1st Volume and after that she was busy over other activities and did not carry on the learning. Therefore I am unable to commend whether does it benefits DD. I think more importance is your child must be persistence and also prefer/able to adapt this type of self-learning style.

Hi

My friend wants to buy Ace your composition (myhometutor) and P5 Maths? Any feedback? Especially on Ace your compo. Is the whole session enjoyable? For P5 Maths, which one is good? hometutor or superstarteaher? Thank you in advance.

Is there any good comments/discussion on this CD-Rom? Thanks.

Hi,
My ds used 2A & 2B Lesson/Assesement for his P2 Mathematics with some assessment books. It is very effective for him as he achieve 100% in his SA2!
During school holiday, he continue to use the 3A & 3B Lesson/Assesement P3 Mathematics. He told me he was enjoyed Mrs Leong's lesson and he aim for another 100% in P3!
By the way, fully agreed with Brenda10 - I think more importance is your child must be persistence and also prefer/able to adapt this type of self-learning style.

Hi SweetHoney2010,

I have a friend tried this method, she chose different kinds of English books from library, eg, fiction, non-fiction, mystery stories, sceince, history etc and let her child choose, the child will definitely like either one kind and she keeps on borrowing that same kind to start the reading habit, from there on, the child has since move on to read others as well.
For me, my DS prefers to read on history and science facts since young, I encouraged it and did not force him to read only stories. He has since moved on to stories and newspapers over the years. It is the same for Chinese, I encouraged reading of Chinese comics with simple Chinese words first and he is slowly moving on to Chinese story books.
Take things at their level with their interest, you will see the results. Visit library often, they will find the treasure there by themselves and cultivate reading habit very quickly. Set up reading corner and reading time at home (reduce TV/computer time), mostly importantly I hope you like reading as well and they will just follow you!
Hope this helps.

Hi Brenda10, Coffee Cat and Augmum

I thank you very much for all your kind response and advises, as mentioned by Coffee Cat will let him read some easy book to build up his interest in reading first.

So no one out there to give any advise? My boy is P3 this year, his standard of English is quite weak as he doen't like to read. He has taken the Creative Writing class in P2 at Tution Centre but, no improvement on his composition writing. He is having private tutor now for his Englsih. I am thinking of getting the MyHomeTutor Composition CD for his self study and plus their popular Creative Math. Just wandering is it helpful.

I advise getting thinner & easy books (which appeal to him) for him to read. Weak english and lack/dislike of reading forms a vicious cycle and will only snowball in later years. Tuition does little to curb this cycle. Doing better in vocab and grammar helps in exam but not in reading which is important in exams too.
