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.

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.

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.

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.

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,
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.
