Thanks.

[quote=\"FQW\"]Just a couple of simple quick questions.

Between 淘气包马小跳 & 笑猫, which is more difficult? I've only seen 笑猫.

Also once a kid is done with these 2 series, any other interesting series to recommend [preferably by different authors]?

Thanks.

Highly recommended the following books by 李光福. The books are quite new and are all available in the National Library. They are chapter books, with han yu pin yin - suitable for end p1 and P2 students. Each book has a simple but interesting story line with good values to impart to the young readers. Young readers can easily identify with the plots as it is written in the modern context.

1. 我家有个老学生 - 教导孩子奋发学习
2. Money也是一条命-教孩子要有爱心
3. 一人球队 - 教孩子要互助合作
4. 谁送的早餐 -教孩子懂得友爱
5. 第一千颗星星 - 教孩子懂得关爱他人
6. 我是你的眼睛 - 教孩子知道孝敬
7. 我是无厘头 -教孩子要懂得礼貌
8. 臭屁大王 - 教孩子学会谦恭
9. 漂亮妈妈丑女佣 - 教孩子知道感恩
10.你们全都欺负我 - 教孩子懂得尊重他人
11. 她其实不差 - 教孩子懂得欣赏
12. 圣诞女孩 - 教孩子生活要勤俭
13. 谁是小霸王 - 教孩子要有正义感
14.变色的第一名 - 教孩子要诚信待人
15.我不想当班长 - 教孩子学会负责
16. 叔叔的接力赛 - 教孩子珍惜生命


:rahrah: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED :rahrah:

Dear all mummies with experience with siwukuaidu


I just started on book 1 lesson 1. There’s this word xiao ren, I thought is used to mean a person of vile character but in the book it seems to refer to a child. Which is right? Or am I mistaken?

Thanks in advance for all advice.

Dear mummies who have completed the 四五快读， can I get some advises from you. My daughter has no difficulty remembering characters like 草 风 爸 土 which she can relate to , but characters like 聪 孩 戏 习 she is taking long time to remember and often forgets. Do u all introduce single character or two character to form a meaning to your children? I find that if I will to introduce single character she can make what is the word about . But if I intro two character , end of the day she dun know which character stands for what. Please help.

I told DS that xiao ren is not suitable to use in Singapore, xiao hai zi is more appropriate here. More importantly is to be able to recognize and pronounce the words correctly.

For words that DS took longer time to remember, I would underline it and use it to construct an interesting sentence to create a deeper impression. Repetitive practice is also important.

i've not checked my siwukuaidu, but intuitively, i'd imagine it to hv some picture/context/story/nursery rhyme to intro new vocab? else it'd be very dry for the poor kid right? isn't that what the professional lang centres are doing? :? :?

In fact, there are guidelines on how to carry out the lessons. But usually I never follow exactly.

For characters that she is taking a long time to remember and often forgets, you just have to make use of different methods to get them registered her brain e.g. flashing the character cards, play games, repetitive reading of the passages with the words appearing. The words will continue to appear in subsequent books. So, she may remember subsequently.
