Hi TAS,

I am also very interested in this programme that Violetmum talked about :love: Can share more?

Hi

Actually my children went for the camp as we are at TAS. But it is also open to other parents I think, I signed up with 2 other friends whose children
are not at TAS. Becos when we sign up in a group, it is cheaper. I have not tried the Spelling Bee but may sign up for it this weekend.

Hi Jasmine,


How do you sign up for the Spelling Bee? I am interested to know as well.

Hi parents,


We have provided information about our confirmed
move to AMK and about our community service programmes
at our marketplace thread.

Hi TAS,


Thank you for your creative writing book. I bought it for my dd1 before her

exams and she did very well for her composition. She improved to get 16

marks upon 20. Really thankful I managed to get your book before the

exams :rahrah:

Hi TAS,


Glad to hear about your move to AMK. It will much nearer for us and now its in the central, it is very convenient.

Will the current classes in yishun be held at the same day and time when you move to AMK?

Hi 24hrmum and pixiedust,


Yes the improvement in marks is quite impressive. I think what makes us very happy as parents is also that the teachers take your feedback seriously as well and really work with us as parents to help the children.

Hi,


May I know what is this creative writing book of TAS? And what is TAS? Sorry I am a first time dad here on the forum and I really need some help for my older girl. She is in P2 and only got 71 for her English.

i do agreee that so far TAS staff has been responsive and courteous and helpful.


all along i had been sourcing only for compo class becos i thot grammar, vocab, cloze n compre can be self taught, unlike compo. and my girl basically has no prob in these areas except compre, for which her weakness was only discovered recently cos p1 no exam, n sch seldom gv compre classwk or hmwk (in fact very little eng hmwk) n i always focus her math cos that is her real weak. but for this sa2, her compo only 6.5/10 tho has been attending compo class elsewhere since p1, n she got full marks for paper 2 (ie grammar, vocab, close) EXCEPT compre whc she scored 3.5/10. that is why i thot maybe my strategy was wrong. still wondering why i shd go for all-in-1 eng class or purely compo class since no purely compre class. her oral was 24/30. ok lah tho can improve still. i had self taught compre 1wk before exam but i guess too late or my teaching no effective. overall she got 86 this yr for eng, after averaging for 4 terms.

any comments?

Hi,


I read somewhere about a spelling bee programme and write a book programme that TAS has. Anyone has more information about it?
