This is what mummy came across and would like to share with you. I don’t know how to prepare you for the up and down, good and bad of the life, but this is what mummy believe in, something that gives mummy a booster jab when mummy is very very very down.

on:I like this article by 鄭丁賢‧房事難 (click the link to read the article in 星洲日报).
Totally agree that it doesn’t make sense for the property prices here to be rocket shooting high these two years.

Kumon Reading Workbook
Posted September 21, 2010
on:Bought the Kumon Grade 1 Reading and Grade 2 Reading books from MPH for the girls. They love it.
It slowly leads the girls to reading, starts from single words, short vowels, long vowels, rhyming words, vocab, then slowly short stories.
Some more the book uses a lot colourful pictures, just nice for their age.
And this is the first book with scores (every lesson 100 points) for them, and every time they are so eager to mark their own paper. Guess they are having fun in a way.
One thing to note is that, on the book cover, it claims : “Aligned to States Reading Standards”. mm…
Here is a sample page for Grade 1:
and sample page for Grade 2 :
