   EDUSHOP
 

In our last issue, we announced that Singapore Learning had opened 4 pre-school centres in Indonesia, with more in the offing, under a Master Franchise agreement. Children enrolled in these centres will be taught English using the PAVE Alpha Phonics and Reading series, an affirmation to the high standards of PAVE’s educational products. We are also in talks to distribute our e-learning coursewares to other countries as well as in Singapore.

Click onto EduShop and browse through the wide range of PAVE educational products which are on offer. Check out our e-learning packages on CreativeThinking Skills. These contain passages which move away from the usual run-of-the-mill comprehension texts. They encourage deeper thinking and trains the process of thought. Activity-centered exercises harness these thoughts and the child is taught how to map them into a meaningful situation.

Excellent, don’t you think?
