My kids like both YS and the SA and DD1 has been reminding me to subscribe to both. So this yr, will subscribe to both and at the end of the yr review again.

thank you SAHM_Tan

What abt the Chinese iFlashbooks? The slip said it is optional to subscribe - is this supplementary to their textbooks? Or a nice to have?
I tried not to be kiasu with all the subscriptions else they end up as White Elephants on the bookshelves

The iFlashbooks is interactive textbks. Dd1 is ok to read the printed Chi text and story bks so not subscribing.

My kids go thru the YS very quickly. I usually subscribe 1 level so don't mind 2 titles. Last yr dd1 had the chance to read Level 1,2 and 3 of YS. She wanted level 2 this yr. So will be getting level 2 for each title.

DS bug me for YS so I’m subscribing this year. I made DS1 read SA in popular - levels 3 and levels 4 (he reads level 3 of YS); to try out. He didn’t like it but could not tell me why. So I dropped the idea.

Follow the kid.

:rotflmao:

dd1 and ds do not know I can subscribe all levels at one go so shhhhhhhhh :evil:

Aiyoh, the form has that stated lah. I'm hoping DS2 can 'graduate' to the next level next year so I only need to buy 2 levels.


I did however, have to explain at length why Ds1 will be the one getting all 3 magazines each month vs each kid getting what they want - the official explanation is for DS1 to be Ds2's mule.

In other cases, I had to resort to communism at times (ie govt owns everything but kids can borrow) when they refused to share. Sigh...the lengths I go to. But hey, kids learn about different types of governments in a jiffy.
