Hi, I always believe in Read, Write and Speak in mastering languages.


I believe a lot of reading will help your child. Next is practice: doing assessment and write regularly. It will be good to write at least a composition a week. Encourage your child to keep a book to write new words he or she has learnt and use them in compositions. The more new words are used, the better your child would be at remembering the spelling.

There is no short cut but consistent effort goes a long way.
Readers' Digest and newspapers would be good for children in upper primary.

Perhaps this could help in selecting materials for your child

Hope this helps

Great to hear that! I was quite surprised when I found out Kindermusik ceased operation in Singapore.

Hi, I think you can check out Sengkang CC. Think that's the nearest. There's Yamaha there and there should be other classes for childrent there. Alternatively,you can hire a home music teacher

I was lost at least 1 time, that I remember of, when I was 6. More than 20 years ago. I remember strangers asking me where my parents were in English. At that time, from a Mandarin speaking family, my English was limited. I could understand them but could only reply in Mandarin \"I don't know.\" And then I stayed around the shop where I got lost. Finally my parents came back for me. I didn't cry. My parents didn't scold me too


It was my fault and the most unforgettable incident of me getting lost!

My cousin dropped out Piano from NAFA. It’s too stressful… I think the system and style of teaching is like that… More gearing and drilling at NAFA… nothing against the school but I think the teaching style is more like that of China.

I found that it's supposed to be eh-twal, yes, silent 's'.


Hmm, take care! I may not log in often. Cheerios!

Hi, daisyt !

RRMummy: I love Stars, 'Etoiles' means Stars in French.

Well, I hope everyone is feeling good today.
If not, take 1 min to think about the wonderful things surrounding you.

They have to strength to blow the grey clouds away!

Cheerios!
