About the STELLAR program
-
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. -

Not to worry too much about getting the Big Book. So far, my girl is
doing well and is kept engross with the stories and activities. Check out
during the Parent's briefing or Parent-Teacher meeting to see if they
display the books. Or may be can ask the teacher to show you a sample.

The books are divided into different packages. So you have to know the package your child's school purchases.
Having seen my DS through this P1 year, personally I don't see a need to buy the books for home use (just my personal opinion)...
What I did was to refer to the learning sheets (workbooks they use together with the books) for the grammar that is covered for each book, and coach him separately based on those grammar/vocab guide books we can easily get from bookstores. The learning sheets would detail clearly the grammar that is to be covered so we can follow-up in that manner. I personally see a need to get additional worksheets in accordance to the sequence of the teaching, as the learning sheets are limited for practice.
Ultimately we want them to know how the learnings from the books are applied elsewhere in other scenarios or exercises, so I don't see a need to repeat going through the big books with them. :lol: -
