My girl is selected to study higher Chinese nest year P2 as she got quite high for her P1 Chinese. However, I'm not very sure of what they will be learning for higher Chinese as compared to the normal Chinese. Could someone advise of this? Will it be a lot more difficult for Higher Chinese as compared to the normal one? If possible, could someone point me to some resources where I can download some Higher Chinese tests/worksheets?

I'm quite worried that she will not be able to cope with it.

If you compare the higher Chinese textbook & the normal Chinese textbook, there is not much different. Since she got high mark for her chinese & then she will be fine.

I think whether all the words in the zi bao bao are used depends on the teacher. These cards are meant to supplement their current textbook and may not necessarily be used (if at all). But if you can teach, why not? Actually many schools have already started higher chinese in P1 and the difference between HMT and normal chinese is not really that huge for lower primary, just additional words to be learned. IMO, the major difference comes in P5.

Hi Sakura_2009,
DS MT Sir didnt really hardly use zi bao bao in P1. Always behind schedule for Chinese spelling. Now DS is offer HMT in P2. Does your kind has HMT? What assement book will you recommen?

Not all schools use zi bao bao. Popular has a lot of higher Chinese assessment books.

高级华文必须要打好基础，因为只要字词基础打好，在做高级华文的时候不会吃力，其实难度并不大，不过是比普通华文考的细。

I think it's good for your girl to study higher Chinese because some of the top sec school like Nanyang girls sec， CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' Sec need the Higher Chinese result when PSLE.
It's not very difficult for kids to study higher Chinese in lower primary. 识读字 are almost same, but there are more识写字 in higher Chinese than in normal Chinese. Teach your kids Chinese characters as many as possible, this is very important!

Oh mine! so many things to learn!
Thanks for the advise. Cheers!

It is not necessary to use higher chinese results for top Sec schools. However, it is compulsory to do higher chinese if your child is in IP. Your can also used the higher chinese points (max 3 points) to apply for SAP schools, which includes some top schools.

This year my DS has a very strict Chinese Teacher (who is the senior) in the school. He is very strict in his marking too. My DS is one of the good in Chinese and has interest and confident in this subject too. But due to the teacher, he starts to make lot of mistake and scare to attend his class. I only realize his problem in Term 2. May I know what can I do to boost up his confidence again in this subject? Really helpless as I scare he lost his interest totally.

Maybe can go along the lines of the tr is strict to ensure class discipline so as long as he hands in work on time, don't chatter in class if tr didnt request for discussion, pays attention etc then he will be fine.

Could also explain to him that you understand the tr is strict in his marking and you will understand if he scores lower marks but once knows what the tr is particular about in marking then he will be able to avoid those mistakes.

Also maybe something along the lines of mark so strictly also for their good so that they will not suffer in upper primary.

Do all primary schools offer higher Chinese?

KiddyLow:

Do all primary schools offer higher Chinese?

No, not all

SAP schools :
by default, start HCL from P1


Non SAP schools :
only a few schools kickstart HCL from P1,
majority start HCL only from P4 or P5

Eg : Teck Ghee primary (Ang mo Kio) : start HCL from P5

best to call up, confirm with the respective primary school that you'll be enrolling your child in.
