ABCs for little muggers!

Do you have a little brother or sister? Do you fear they won't be able to catch up with our current education system? Do you fear they won't do well in the future? Do you want to jump on the Uniquely Singaporean bandwagon of turning your child into a little scholar prodigy at the mature age of 3 years old? Or does your child have some spare time in between his/her school, tuition, CCA, piano, violin, swimming, phonetics and quantum physics lessons? We have the answer for you!

Little Mugger Flash Cards! Yes! The newly designed Little Mugger Flash Cards are a pack of 26 cards containing each letter of the the alphabet from A-Z! Each card has the capitalised and lower case form of each letter on one side, and a picture of a JC topic that begins with the letter on the other side with a short definition and description! Your child may not know what subject he/she will be taking in the future, so we have thoughtfully included a few terms from each possible subject. They are designed so that your child will learn about the alphabet as well as something new from JC.

Eg. R is for Ribulose Bisphosphate Carboxylase Oxygenase or RuBisCo!
Rubisco is an enzyme involved in the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis.

Simple and engaging! Just train your child to recognise that a certain letter corresponds to a certain term and you have taught him or her something to impress the other kids at his preschool of kindergarten! Here's a sample of what our cards will offer.

A: Absorption Spectrum
B: Berlin Wall
C: Climograph
D: Desmonda
E: Epistemology
F: Figurative Language
G: Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate
H: Horror - "The horror, the horror!" -Heart Of Darkness, Joseph Conrad
I: (-1)^0.5
J: John F. Kennedy
K: Keynesian Economics
L: Lithosphere
M: Market Failure
N: Non-cyclic Photophosphorylation
O: Opportunity Cost
P: Permutation & Combination
Q: Qualitative Analysis
R: Ribulose Bisphosphate Carboxylase Oxygenase
S: Solipsism
T: Trinitrotoluene (TNT) (C6H3(NO2)3)
U: Uniform Circular Motion
V: Venn Diagram
W: Wavelength
X: X-axis
Y: Yttrium
Z: Zenith

Also, look out for the My First Complex Numbers cards to be released next month! They're designed to familiarise your child with complex numbers at a young age to take advantage of their huge capacity for imagination and prepare then for JC math. Remember, (2+3i)(3+4i)=(-6+17i)!
