Where/how to buy school textbooks for P1-P3?

Post by mostly gone » Sun, 16 Jan 2011 5:37 pm

I'm interested in browsing and purchasing textbooks for P1-P3. I do not home school. They are for my daughter, currently in grade 1, in Canada, who loves school and would like to have some.

Can anyone recommend a book store in Singapore and/or website where I can review and purchase textbooks? I'll be buying the books in Singapore.

I know MOE's ATL (Approved Textbook List) website, which only lists the approved textbooks. Which ones are good or mostly used? Which textbooks in science, mathematics, and chinese do you use?

Thanks for any help/pointers!!

I'm not sure which are recommended books for primary school, but they can be bought at popular bookstores islandwide.

Singapore primary school does not have a FIX Publisher or text book.
As different primary school use different Publisher.

Thanks for the pointers to Popular book stores! Which of the branches in Central/West is one of the larger ones?

In the west area, Jurong Point Popular (@ Boon Lay MRT station) should be considered as one of the larger ones.

If you don't mind pre-used ones (some still in quite good conditions), I have some Primary 1 textbooks which is used by my daughter last year. Can sell at very low price (less than 50%).

Hihi... my boy is in P3. You can pm me and I can email you the book list for his school.

Popular carries almost all the titles. :-)

There's another one where you can order online the books for various school... :-) http://www.pacificbookstores.com/

Cheers
