Hi GreenQ,
Great!

I read to my son once in a while. He doesn't like to look at it daily. So, i read to him 2-3 times weekly. Therefore, he progress very slow.

I read him stories and information books in chinese and english every night.

He has been attending chinese classic lesson in temple since last weekend. Now learning \"lun yi\". Yet to see his progress. I will post his progress over the times.

Thanks for your link, Charmaine.

I 'force' my kids to read for few pages everyday, otherwise they cannot do other things like play wii sports or plasma car, watch tv, go to playground, etc. So they are ok coz they know it is just for few pages, not taking a lot of time. Sometimes they initiate to read the book bcoz they want to know the story.

Great to know you exposed your son the chinese classic lesson like 'lun yi'. How's the lesson? Is parent allowed to attend together?

I have just received reply from the publisher.


The distributor in Singapore for odonata books is elm tree (as stated by autumnbronze), and their website is http://elmtreebooks.com .

You can find their outlets in Singapore at : http://elmtreebooks.com/locate_us.php

You can choose to order directly from http://www.odonatabooks.com/webshaper/store/viewCat.asp?catID=3 the books with or without CD. But in singapore it comes with CD.

I have placed order for series 3-5 at RM137.70 without CD include surface shipping charges. I think it is cheaper...

Dear All,


儿童读经
1988年，76位诺贝尔奖得主共同指出：人类要在21世纪生存下去，必须回到2500年前，去吸取孔子的智慧

This is another way of helping young kids from 0-13 years old to learn chinese and surely it will benefit them for life.

Method:
经常地读诵、熟读，透过这样的方法，经义、经文就可以顺畅而自然地吸收和背诵下来。这是因为人的耳朵最利。举例来说，听一首歌10遍以后就耳熟能详了。如果每天读经10遍，一周能读70遍，70遍后就会很自然地记下来，即使记不下来，也可以朗朗上口。所以读经要鼓励学生每天读，如果父母亲子一起共读，那是最好不过了.

Some CC have. From my own experience, you have to start young, because once the kids pass certain age, they are not interested anymore.
