not sure if my tip is useful...but i myself love to read and my DD1 always see me reading and she has her own collection of books which is always within her reach...and she always pick one or two out to read by herself or ask my wife who reads a story to her every night...

yes, though my DD1 is just 3 year old but I think the reading habit starts young...if you love to read, it will be easy for your children to like reading as children are always modelling after their parents...

hope some other parents with children nearer to your children's age group can help

should start reading as a leisure.

I like to think that my DS2 is naturally inclined towards maths as he is not only interested in numbers, he is also quick to grasp concept e.g age difference concept. The only problem is...I realised he has been very careless with subtraction for 3- digit numbers onwards. Hence, even if he can do the 3steps question, he almost always end up with no marks. Can anyone advise how to correct this before it get worse?

He just need more practice to do vertical subtraction sums.

Attend those Math workshop for parents in your child's primary school. You should ask your child's teacher. Most schools offer math workshops for parents.

Most schools conduct own Maths workshop, for parents.
Find out from (ask) your child's school Maths HOD -
The date & time, of running Maths workshop for parents, which level

Always seek help from your child's school HOD, if in doubt, not just for Maths, but for other subjects

we live in Australia, I've been looking high and low for the reference books written by eg. andrew er, fabian Ng especially those problem sums books. My P2 son is quite weak in this area so I'm hoping to get these books to help him.

I've also looked at the Sg popular bookstore website but these books aren't being sold online.
So, is there anyway of getting these books if we're overseas? would appreciate any help.

edited to add: i've even emailed the books publisher - educational publishing house, but they don't entertain unless you're a reseller. :frustrated:
