where do u send kids for tuition, is it better @ community centre, home tution or private school like Julia Gabriel, Lorna Whiston...... (expensive) or just normal hometution, class @ CC good? i don't know where to enrol P.3 kids for creative writing, her compo, writing is horrible, how is she ever going to pass her P.6 pSLE, i got no confidence, anyway i've no time to sit and teach her, so she is all on her own from P1 till now, now i am shocked her handwriting is horrid, ugly. and i am getting worried now. 2nd language worse. i thinking sending her to Private school but very expensive, and what if i hve to stop working no money to send. so what choice is good? thks.

Rather than tuition, spend more time reading.
-
My child studies is bad now, she can't even write nicely or properly, when she write small, it is so so small so tinny, n big suddnely the letter become giant, i think she did it on purpose esp when i am angry with her.
and her creative writing, she write only 3 lines, instead of whole pages, and all wrong.
i am worried now, thiming of sending her to private school but some don't agree saying some poor kids also can achieve no need to send to ex. school also can pass with great result, is it? -
use cane lor, sure work.
-
that bad, i never use cane or beating, i can't help myself to beat my own child. i know should but no heart to do that yet. thks.Originally posted by the.owl:use cane lor, sure work.

i think the main point is to cultivate interest in reading and writing. once the interest is sparked off, the rest is natural. it might be hard to get kids to read books with alot of content so u might wanna start with something light.
-
if u only want to improve her handwriting, i can be her tutor for it.
other than tat, cannot help liao. -
-
get her to brush up on her grammar first
den get her to read more books

As someone had already said, reading is important.Originally posted by alba:where do u send kids for tuition, is it better @ community centre, home tution or private school like Julia Gabriel, Lorna Whiston......

1. Find out what interest your daughter has.
2. Get some books that is slightly below the level that she is capable of.
3. Do not dictate what she reads by putting your interest before her's
4. Ask her to set a realistic target on the books she's reading, ie, number of pages, or chapters per day/week.
5. Periodically, you will need to check if she understands the story, you may need to know the story.
6. Ask her for her opinion on what she thinks the story is going.
7. Note that these books may not even be novels, they may be comics, or non-fiction.
8. There are books in Popular bookstores that has very very short compositions by Singapore students, even at P3 level, you may start with this.
Going back to the cause of the problem, the fact that she may not have adequate guidance during the formative years can be the issue, but because we cannot turn back time, you will need to make up for the lost years of neglect quickly. By this I do not mean making her sit beside you all the time. I mean taking an interest in her likes or dislikes, opinions, thoughts, and personality. This will build up the child's confidence. Encourage lots of communications, by that, I mean try to do the things she likes to do, but this require commitment on your part.
Handwriting is basically practice. The more you write, the better it becomes.
Tuition can be good, but it is not the solve-all. In fact, personally, I discourage tuition because it can be financial burden as well as a major drainage of time.
To me the trick of good parenting is to become a mentor for the child, walking WITH the child initially and gradually giving more responsibility for the child to walk on his own.
I am a father of two boys who has never had any tuition. They are NOT top boys in a top school. Rather they are motivated boys in an OK school, doing at above average within their school. That's all I ask for. -
where got tuition for writing one???? just buy a book on penmanship and you're done lah!Originally posted by Cool-gal:if u only want to improve her handwriting, i can be her tutor for it.

by the way, how much you charge hah? my writing sucks -
u can get book in the libary that teaches techniques on how to write stories, tell her plan her stories first.......use mindmap and the 5WH thingy.
read more books, maybe singaporean literature......quite nice, catherine lim write goood books -
Writing can be trained....Much so at primary level....
Reading helps , but more importantly, there must be someone who will mark and go thru with the kids..
creative writing lessons should help...u can try those tuition centres....CC ones are not so good i feel....
depends on where u are located really.... -
your sure care alot about you child...Originally posted by alba:that bad, i never use cane or beating, i can't help myself to beat my own child. i know should but no heart to do that yet. thks.
how i wish i have a mama like you >.< -
best is u teach her urself.
u can also consider tuition classes given by CDAC, they are conducted at nearby schools during evenings. taught by experienced teachers.
but its not one-to-one but by classes.
anyways, i dun feel its important to get anxious about her handwriting now, they will improve over time later on. she simply does not feel the need to put in effort at this point of time. -
i can teach
then again its about getting her interested in reading...because once u let her start reading, she will tend to write in the author's style which would be an improvement. I have seen alot of cases of improvement including myself in the past.. In fact most of my writing style were based on early reading during my pri sch days. Plus, grammar is very impt at such an early stage. Its essential to teach her to get it right, if not she will have a problem in the future. -
