all.in.one:

If anyone is interested, I can post the list of the BIG book titles my girl has completed this year (P1) for your reference (please ring a bell).

Yes, all.in.one, please list down the titles your girl completed this year, just for our reference. Thanks for your help!

Thanks all.in.one

yes pls, mean while I heard from another parent \"MOE purposely chose books that are extremely difficult for parents to buy off-the-shelf. They’re trying to discourage parents from buying them so that the pupils don’t get bored in class when they say they have already read the stories\" any way I just want to see them :lol:

I think they read "The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" too (can’t remember the exact title) cos my DD’s spelling list included words/sentences from it.

[mrswongtuition]

I would not want to let my boy read the book at home first, but would like to know the themes/topics so that can get similar books.

Thank you mummy(s) you are really great. sharing your values…

Yes, but be prepared to file a lot of worksheets, in my DD's case. She also had a supplementary grammar book with rules and qns inside. Sometimes, she is assigned work from that book.

Are all schools using the same STELLAR contents? My DD's school is using STELLAR but not all the same as mentioned above.
