How I teach at home


I make my girls write. Copy the sentences.

Besides recognising Chinese characters, they can write with the correct srokes too. My dd1 hates writing whilst my dd2 thrives.

This method of teaching is very DRY. Nevertheless, it is effective

When I went to pick up the 基础汉字 I ordered online at WM Popular yesterday, I saw a series of storybooks. They are originally English classics but translated into Chinese with hanyu pinyin and illustrations. These are abridged versions, naturally. It’s pocket-sized and only $2.90 each! I bought 3 titles, "Alice in Wonderland", "The Little Prince" (or was it "The Happy Prince"?) and a third one I can’t remember, sorry. Other titles included, "The Old Man and the Sea", "Romeo and Juliet", "Pride and Prejudice" and "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". I’ll try to put up pics later.

These are the books I bought that day for $2.90 each.

Sorry for the blurred pic. They are (from L-R): Little Women, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and The Little Prince. On Friday, I got 2 more, Romeo and Juliet and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

There are 10 books in this series (World's Classics). Besides the five listed above, there are also:
The Old Man and the Sea
Pride and Prejudice
Jian Ai 简爱
Cha Hua Nu 茶花女
Ai de Jiao Yu 爱的教育

I don't know what the last three are called in English. (Post edited to add Chinese characters.)

Besides this series, the same publisher (Novum Organum) also publishes 2 more pocket-sized series, one for Chinese classics like Xi You Ji 西游记 and the other for a mixture of Chinese stories and guides like San Zi Jing 三字经 and Tang Shi 唐诗. They're all $2.90 each too. I got a book of Chinese tales, Xi You Ji 西游记 (Parts 1 and 2) and Hong Lou Meng 红楼梦(Parts 1 and 2). All come with colourful illustrations and hanyu pinyin.

Thank you for sharing! These books look very good! I will try to get them.

I saw this book at Popular Jurong Point. I thought it is very useful for parents who plan to send their kids to branded schools


Also good for kiasu parents like me lah. But the 2 copies at Jurong Point are in bad condition. I hope to find good copies in other branches.

tamarind, you're welcome! They should be easy to find. You just need to look for pocket-sized books among all the bigger ones.
