Hi summer,

Thanks. Will try it.

Hi Brenda,
Son’s CL teacher replied my email regarding 大拇指. He told me it is difficult for son and that zhi1 shi4 bao4 will be easier…if I wish to expose son to this 大拇指, get a copy from newstand to read with him. I guess 大拇指 is more suitable for kids using HCL like your daughter.

Hi Janet

True, in dd school 大拇指 is also only ordered for HCL class. DD is not taking HCL and we just started to subscribe recently aim to give her more exposure.

No point being KS if teacher has advised me not to order it...think he knows my son's standard. Happy enough if he is willing to read 'My Paper' and the zhi1 shi4 bao4 again.

recently my girl started the chines characters and she has forgotten so many basic and easy words!!! OMG!!! Think gotta brush up immediately!!!

Thank goodness there is no CA/SA at P1…or I would be more stressed having to brush up daughter’s Chinese this year. But still I set work for son as to spend time coaching her. Slow but hoping she will pick up. Must pray hard she will be faster and more adjusted soon.
