but at least I can tell that the chinese used there is normal CL, not HCL.

How U can differentiate the two ???? :?

Thought Chinese Characters are ALL the SAME ....
OR is CL Font Size BIGGER than HCL's ????

Just received ds's P1 books. I took a peep at the chinese books. Wow, HCL is really not simple. The standard is much higher than K2 Berries that ds is currently attending.

Oh dear.. my DH was asking me to stop reading this forum bcos all these posts are making me break out in cold sweat :lol: I barely passed my o level chinese!! My fren who is a chinese teacher was assuring me that if I can keep pace with his studies, I should be able to cope sufficiently to help him in his work. Guess this mommy better start reading more chinese books

Can anyone recommend me a good assessment book for P1 chinese? I prefer those exercises that build up step by step, like the peter & Jane series kinda style. So that it helps DS1 to build up his confidence for the subject. aiyah.. since I'm asking, any good recommendations for other subjects are also welcomed!! TIA!! :love:

Do you mean CME (Civics and Moral Education), and not Social Studies? Unless they are using Chinese social studies books from next year on.

Actually, it's not so bad. Your ds will adjust better than you'll expect him to. I think it's more 'shocking' to you cos the books are different from your time, right?

Right, it's Civics. Realised nowadays that textbooks are very colourful & comes as a series of many books. So different from my time (so suaku this parent).

Let's just say that I'm so glad I took the advice of some people here and cajoled ds to read chinese books daily since the beginning of K2. The standard is much higher than K2 Berries that ds is currently attending. If kids are not trained in chinese pre-primary, how are they going to survive HCL?


I bought the chinese picture dictionary too. I actual find it quite useful leh. Learnt a few new words from it already. Social studies is also in chinese, wow (but at least I can tell that the chinese used there is normal CL, not HCL). Actually the english & maths text are also not simple (why does P1 need 6 maths books?), but HCL takes the cake.

Guess I'm really hit by reality liao . Existing kids in Charity 2 must really be very well trained or very smart or both.

Not that bad if your ds goes to Berries. Come P1 Berries will catch up too just go thru the Berries lesson notes with your ds consistently and he will be fine.

Not a lot of choice for HCL. Try the EPH (publisher name) one.

I knew the books are coming in today. So there was much anticipation.

But after browsing thru the HCL text, in place of anticipation now there is only trepidation :shock:
