          I'm afraid not maltbibi, cos she's like the nomad seller.
          Roams and wanders from week to week. Btw, your nick
          sounds yummy... the malt part. Reminds me of those
          Ovalteenies and Horlicks candies - 50 cents a small pack. 😉

          PS : Dun think you have done your reporting to Newbies, maltbibi...

            Ooooo... I LOVE those :love: . Got normal Horlicks ones (comes in a packet of 4 \"pills\"). Plain or chocolate. They don't produce it anymore, though. It's sad.

              Hi,


              You can get the books from Paragon 5th floor, opposite Oskosh.

              I got this set of books for my son. Understand from the lady that lots of ppl buying these books.

              I use book 1-myself to teach my son. Before i finish the sentence, he say out not through recognising the words but memory. Ater teaching him half of the book, i noticed that he don’t recognise the words at all. He simply memorise it.

              I teach him a page a day, some pages have more new words, i then teach him a sentence or two a day.

              I have stopped as he don’t seem interested. Likewise for Peter and Jane. I have stop for a month plus. May be i should try to encourage him to read again.

                Don't give up, sweetie.

                Your son is young and boys
                are generally active and has
                less concentration span. There
                are other ways to introduce to
                him reading skills. Books are
                just one of the teaching aides.

                You can try word cards or snap
                cards with him too. So instead of
                having to read he will think you're
                playing a game with him. 😉
                Thing is now try not to put him off
                books. Yes, you are right. Children
                need repetitive encouragement!

                Thanks for your reference. Do you
                have the name of the shop too? And
                how much did you get the set for?

                  Hi Bud,



                  Thank you for your encoragement.

                  I couldn’t remember how much i bought them.

                  The shop will be moving somewhere within paragon building. Currently, it doesn’t has its own shop. Just outside oskosh.
