The Alternative Story (TAS) - Discussion

you're welcomed, flowermonaster! DS1 joined TLL around March this year, due to 'suitability & availability' (or lack of it?) of classes for him, blar blar blar, so not sure if his impprovement in English was due to TLL. believe DS1's teachers (from his pri school) have worked very hard to bring about the good grades of the pupils too!

DS2 is also with TLL English (P3) but he joined only in June this year. like your DS, we have not seen any improvement in his English grades yet. we will withdraw him next year too, since gor-gor will no longer be with TLL next year. i'm considering TAS (The Alternative Story) for DS2 next year. perhaps you can hear out other parents' comments/opinions on TLL/TAS at the \"TLL or TAS\" thread, to help you make some decision?

:offtopic: on a lighter note, i always type your name as \"flowermonster\" then admend it to \"flowermonaster\" before posting.. oops! :oops: :siam:

Hahaha! It's actually flowermonster lah, just that when I create my profile I didn't realize that I have include an \"a\" there. Guess my fingers too fat on my iPad keypad as the \"a\" & \"s\" just beside each other & I type too fast loh! I didnt realize it until a week or so but then I don't know how to change it anymore. :oops:

:hi5: my DS1 is 12 and taking PSLE this year too! he is with TLL for English though. do you visit the DSA thread or other PSLE-related threads? i am usually there 38ing around..

my DS2 is 9 (P3) too! :hi5:

Oh so 'qiao' that our first 2 kids are the same age! I did not visit the PSLE related
threads a lot, sometimes just to read to see what are the latest difficult questions
but other than that, I rather not as i find I will get myself very kan chiong.

Btw, you were saying TLL covers oral, TAS covers paper 2 and compo but not
oral. TAS is quite specific when they cover paper 2, they teach the relevant
strategies for each component, like how to identify red herrings for compre
mcq, how to use answer with precision for compre open-ended and their
teaching of grammar and synthesis is very systematic. But if your DS1 has
improved in TLL, maybe DS2 will also?
