Hi parents! I’m the developer behind Little Orchid (小兰华文). Having 4 kids myself, I find it difficult to keep up with the weekly 听写 with for all my kids. I’m sharing it openly as the maker, not as a parent pretending to recommend someone else’s app. I built it around a very Singapore-parent problem: a child’s actual 听写 list often arrives through the school chat, class dojo or on a worksheet, but most learning apps only practise their own fixed word list. In Little Orchid, parents can type, take photo, paste or speak the school’s weekly spelling list into the app. The child can then: rely on space repetition technics to encode the wording into long term memory. hear each word and a teacher-style 听写 prompt. tap any Chinese character to practise writing it in a 田字格. run through the list as a spelling practice. revisit mistakes instead of starting from zero each week. archive finished lists without losing the child’s practice history. That core spelling-list workflow is free. You do not need Little Orchid Plus to type, paste or speak a list, listen to it, practise its characters, or run the spelling exercise. . Photo import includes 2 free pages each month. The AI photo feature is a cost that I have to bear, I opted for paid plan so that the photos we uploaded to Google will not be trained on. Text to speech is another cost, I decided to go for the neural text to speech engine by Microsoft as it gives a much natural sounding voice. Thus, I created a Plus subscription option at 2.99 per month if you decide to support me. “Plus” option raises the photo allowance to 100, support multiple profile and allows more configurable settings. The rest of the app is built for Singapore Primary Chinese from P1–P6, using the published MOE character lists. It includes listening, reading aloud, vocabulary, tones, handwriting and spaced review. The free tier includes the first four lessons of every level and all six practice modes. There is no account, no advertising and no tracking. Most curriculum content and recordings are kept on the device so practice can continue without a connection. Little Orchid is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by MOE. It is available for Android. iOS will depend on demand as it is costly to get a developer account with Apple. You can see exactly what it teaches, how the free spelling-list feature works, and the privacy details here: https://littleorchid.app/ If your child has a weekly school 听写 list, I would genuinely value feedback on whether the setup and practice flow make the week easier. I’m also happy to answer questions about what is free, the curriculum coverage, privacy, or how the handwriting practice works. Thank you!

qqtang0526 said: Hi parents, I’m a fellow parent in Singapore, and over the past few months, I’ve been developing an AI-powered Chinese Reading Companion called SmartRead. The idea came from a challenge that many English-speaking families may be familiar with: Your child looks at a full page of Chinese text and immediately feels overwhelmed. They may know some words, but struggle to understand the passage as a whole. Very often, they don’t know where to start, lose confidence quickly, and eventually become dependent on parents or tuition teachers. As both a parent and a Chinese educator, I’ve increasingly felt that many children are actually capable of learning Chinese — they simply need more support, guidance, and successful learning experiences. SmartRead is designed to help children move step by step from: “Chinese is too difficult for me.” to “I can understand this on my own.” One feature that may be especially helpful for English-speaking families is our High English Support Mode. This mode provides: English explanations for key ideas and vocabulary Step-by-step reading guidance Bilingual support when needed Gradual transition towards more Chinese exposure The goal is not to translate everything, but to help children build enough confidence and understanding so that they can eventually read independently. The system currently supports students from Primary 3 to Secondary 4. I’m looking for 5–10 families to participate in the first round of testing. Participation is completely free, and I will personally follow up with each family to gather feedback and improve the product. If you think this might benefit your child, or if you’d simply like to learn more, please feel free to PM me. Thank you!

This is the kind of introduction children will hear before they begin the close reading activity.

Hi parents, I’m a science curriculum specialist based in Bukit Batok. With Term 2 assessments wrapping up, I’ve noticed many P5/P6 students are still losing 2 to 3 marks on open-ended heat energy questions because they confuse ‘heat loss’ with ‘temperature drop’ in their explanations. I’ve put together a simple 2-page keyword guide and a practice template that I use with my students to correct this specific blind spot. If your child is struggling with Section B, feel free to drop a comment below or PM me, and I’ll gladly email/send you the PDF copy for free to help them prep for the next semester.

I’ve created a free learning portal for Primary 1–6 English, based on the Singapore syllabus. It turns test-paper style questions into simple online quizzes, so kids can practise independently while parents are busy. It is free to use now so please try it with your kids and let me know any feedback so I can keep improving it. Website: tutor.agenticolab.com

Re: PSLE Discussions and Strategies DEAR PARENTS, We’re the team behind ##### Pickytic.ai, full transparency, this is our official account. We’re not pretending to be regular users. We wanted to introduce ourselves properly before anything else. WHY WE BUILD THIS We kept hearing the same things from students and parents: “I study every night but my score never moves.” “I only find out what I’m weak at during the actual exam.” “I have no idea if what my child is doing is actually working.” Doing more papers doesn’t fix the problem. It just keeps you busy. The students who actually improve are the ones who know exactly which topics are pulling their marks down and drill those specifically. Not randomly. Not by gut feel. WHAT PICKYTIC DOES We built an AI that tells you exactly this, after every single practice session: → What you’ve already mastered → What still needs work → What to focus on next On top of that: Real exam simulations: Timed, pressured, exactly like the actual thing. So exam day isn’t a shock. Progress tracking: So improvement isn’t just a feeling. Students and parents can both see it clearly. Gamified practice: Because staring at ten-year-series papers gets old fast. We made it actually engaging. It covers all Primary and Secondary levels, not just PSLE and O-levels, but every level, every term. Honest question for you to think of:bolded text Whether you’re a student or a parent, do you actually know which specific topics are costing you marks right now? Not just “I’m weak at Maths.” But which part of Maths. Which question type. Which concept. That gap between knowing your weak subject and knowing your weak topic is usually what decides whether you improve or plateau. We’d love to hear what subject or topic is giving you the most trouble right now. We’ll give genuinely useful advice, not just a pitch. We’re a Singapore team. We understand the PSLE and O-level pressure well. We built this because we genuinely believe there’s a better way to prepare than just doing more papers. link text[image: 1780807227377-pickytic_logo.jpg]

Hi, I’m a mum of two boys. I built a free browser-based mental maths card game called Game 24 / 24点. It’s based on the classic 24 card game — players use 4 cards to make 24 using any operations. Works on any phone / device, no download needed. Would love feedback from primary school parents and kids! Link: game24-taupe.vercel.app

Thanks for your interest! You can find more information at https://smartread.sg. If you’re interested in joining our free pilot programme, please feel free to PM me. I’d be happy to answer any questions.
