Teaching Chinese at Home

I bought the full set of xiao mao ri ji for DS. He read a few but didn't like it and I agree it is more suitable for girls. Hence I have given them to my friend who has a girl. My DS is current reading 冒险小虎队 and he really enjoys it.

Thanks Wonderm for your comments and recommendation of冒险小虎队. I bought 1 of the book last year but DS did not like it probably because then, he was still not used to reading all words book. Will dig it out again and see if he likes it now.

I’m interested to get 马小跳for my ds but I’m not sure which is the one that is recommended here. Appreciate if someone could provide me with a link to this book in dangdang.


Thanks in advance

ksme, how old is yr ds? My ds just finished psle. He wouldn't be able to read and enjoy the book earlier due to limited Chinese vocab.

Thanks Brenda10. I typed 马小跳in dangdang to check out the book but there were a few listed under same title so I thought better check with KSP.


I will take a trip to Popular and get one as recommended. Is there a first book to the series or I can just get any titles?

Thanks again, you’ve been a great help!

Hi Hanvid

Can't advise you as I did not buy in sequence. I bought a few due to some 人物 and story are related to xiao mao ri jin.

谢谢你！说地有道理。。。should still try 四五快读 since I've already bought it... started reading from pg 10 where i left off the last time... 15-30 mins a day for 一删课 is quite short / doable... i think kids at this age won't take to anything longer than that anyhow. now to finish reading the first 30 pages and cut out the flash cards... wondering if I should get a nice togoyo box with compartments to store them...

I bought small ziploc bags from Daiso, $2 for 20 to 30 pieces, and put the cards for one lesson in one bag. More organized that way.

yah, great idea. more compact to keep than boxes as well! thanks!

No worries, Brenda10. I’ll check with Popular. Thanks!

Hi Yuppy, thanks so much for sharing the info about this app!!


Btw, does anyone know if such apps can be downloaded and used on the iPad?? My ds has been bugging me for an iPad... i'm thinking maybe i should get him one and download all the Chinese shows and apps onto it... Then he'll have no choice but to use them hahaha :lol:

yuppybb:

hey for those who are eyeing on \"学前阅读计划-首100字“...not too sure if any of you realise that there is an IPHONE APP that also carry this series. I check with my HARDCOPY book liao. The apps and the actual book is the SAME! :lol: :lol:

there is a voice recording that u can play to listen to the story. there is oso a quiz session to test on recognition of words.

the first book for the 首100字 is FREE!! so download n try. subsequent books u will need to pay 0.99/bk. u can search under STICKBOY LEARNS CHINESE / CHINESE 100

(pls dun be mistaken - m not working for this company heee)
