buds:

... Btw, your nick

sounds yummy... the malt part. Reminds me of those
Ovalteenies and Horlicks candies - 50 cents a small pack. ...

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.

Hi folks


Thanks for your pm. So glad to find this thread. Cos the books are BN and it’s a pity to leave them in the cupboard.
Shall we meet up at City Hall mrt station control 6:15pm if convenient?
I can also mail the books to u.
I included my contact in the pm. Do let me know.
