Re: 分享外國或台灣童書 (1-8歲適用) 收穫 - PART 2 (as from 27 Sept 05)

Bluestar/Gloria/snoopyma,

ORT Read At Home series has a total of 13 books and flash card.

The 13 books incl:
1. Handbook - helpful tips and guidance to parents
2. Stage 1 (Getting Ready) - 1a/1b/1c
3. Stage 2 (Starting to Read) - 2a/2b/2c
4. Stage 3 (Becoming a Reader) - 3a/3b/3c
5. Stage 4 (Building Confidence) - 4a/4b/4c

This set has been produced to support the Oxford Reading Tree Reading Scheme which is used in 80% of (UK) primary schools and in other countries worldwide. The set complements the scheme used in schools ie, these books will not be read by your child in school, they are supplementary to give extra support and breadth of books to read.

I failed twice in bidding the ORT Read at Home series (at a price of GBP 15 and GBP 17). So finally I did not bid it but use "Buy it now" offered by the seller at GBP 19.90. Postage was GBP 7, hence I spent a total of GBP26.99 on this book set. Compared with the retail price of aound GBP 52, I saved a lot indeed!!

But later I saw someone had successfully bid the set at around GBP 12!!

During last book fair, I saw Read at Home Series (but the book size was smaller and hardcover) being sold at OUP counter. Around $48 per book with 15% off. Think you may order thru some of the major bookstore in Hong Kong e.g. Swindon, 天利行 etc.

btw, I did not see this set at Greenfiled la.

yuanmama,

I will also buy those books when they are published.

btw, I still cannot find those new books from ebay.

Re: Payment at ebay, as we're overseas buyer, we have to pay by PAYPAL.

Re: ORT in SIN, yes more cheaper. You may refer to our previous discussion on the matter

As far as I know, buying ORT at UK bookstores is not cheap wor.....

Tks, yumama & Kittylock.

The ORT servies and associated supplements alone is enough to make me borke !!!!
And what's more, the no. of books, hence the cost, is still growing !!!

:-( :-( :-(

Will seriously consider asking my relative / friend in UK to check whether there's any cheaper source(s).

Bluestar,
Yes, this is exactly what I think.

I also haven't owned any copies of the ORT set yet. But I am interested to purchase one for my girl. BTW, I enjoyed the SIN food very much. Can I join your tour to SIN next summer holiday?

Gloria,
I am envy you that you had lots of prey from SIN. May I ask you if I can order the ORT set thru online? How much for the postage fee from SIN to Hong Kong? Could you please give me an idea of how much of the total cost (book + postage) for a full set if we ordered online from SIN?

Audreymom,

Maybe we can form a private tour group to Sing !!!

Re ORT and all other series :

Usually I don't need / buy the workbooks and flashcards - because I don't think these items are necessary, I never use them, and I don't like them - just a gimmick for charging more $$$.

If kids enjoy reading for the pleasure of reading, instead of equating reading with learning / with an objective, they will be able to absorb more, better, faster.

Re: 分享外國或台灣童書 (1-8歲適用) 收穫 - PART 2 (as from 27 Sept 05)

che,

for your info.

1. delivery to Spore: 2 weeks after order thru popular
2. posting to HK: 1 month after posting

i will have my ORT delievered hopefully 1.5mths from the date of order/purchase with full payment.

yes, mr yap is very difficult to find even in the shop. i had to 'dig' or 'drill' or even 'scratch' him out there.

audreymom,

spore list price is around 30%-50% lower than the equilv. in HK

you can order as a member of popular (HK$20 in HK for 1 yr-mship but S$20 in spore).

then place your order with the mr yap (contact posted previously) and make full payment. they don't have the full series but only those still have stock at the supplier. so you need to ask them for quotation b4 hand.

if yr whole order is over S$1000, you can get 15% as a pop member.

so the net discount compared to HK is = 41%-58% OFF.

that is v vvvvvvvvvvv good price.

surface mail rate : a max of 30 kg (S$70.5) <--not bad.

but the process could be painstaking, your return is a cheaper set of ORT 1-9.

i did not ask about other ORT products, so no info. ah.

i will watch out for those cheap tickets offered by Spore airline to member from time to time. HK$650 is the lowest I have seen. but of course, you can't be early enough to buy them usually (coz many are scrambling for them!!!)

Bluestar,

Yes, it's hard to bid things at good price at UK ebay if you're lazy, cos you need to closely monitor whether you were outbid and need to rebid at a higher price. You know the time lapse between HK & UK is around 8-10 hours, once I got up at 4am (the close of bid time) to check the status!!

Gloria,

How much did you pay for "The Holes in your nose"?

Is it a hardcover or paperback?

[size=medium]There is a Town (Step-Into-Reading, Step 1)

Book Description
In this town there, is a house. In this house, there is a box. And in this box, there is...a very nice surprise!

Card catalog description
Illustrations and simple text draw the reader into a family celebration at which a girl receives a dollhouse in which a birthday party is also going on.

With only a few simple words, they convey an entire story. It starts off with a town and narrows it's focus down to a street, a house, etc. then starts over inside a dollhouse and goes in the reverse.

PS I got this book from Co-ed at $10 only. Simple but good!!

Hard decision!!

Snoopyma,

I think it's no harm keeping full set of ORT, not just because it is well-written and carefully designed into diff stages, and most importantly.... it has a value in second-hand market!!

Like ebay in UK, you'll find plenty of ORT books (both new or used) throw out for sale, and both buy & sell transactions are very active!!
