Ok, this is what I learned. To improve on language, not only must read but also must use. For example, the Chinese textbooks, there will be new words, the child must have opportunities to use, (speak it and write it) the new words and hear the new words being used. For example, you can pepper your conversations with the new words from the text books.SAHM_TAN:
[quote=\"chloecube\"]thks to all of you for the infomations
my son who is 9, is very poor in his languages and he dislike reading
since it school holiday now, i reduce his assement books and increase his reading
i have to keep reminding him to read and read and read
he also have untidy handwritting, thus i am making him write 1 composition essay and 1 作文everyday
i do not know if there will be any improvement, but i guess it better than doing nothing
hopefully he will love to read with all my pushing
he is currently with Berries for 2 yrs, am also thinking of stopping it and ask him to do his reading at home. but i was rather hesitant, what if it turn out worse?
i am in a dilemma now
If you want to take your son out of berries, then you must have other support inplace for him. For example, you set aside time for him to read aloud to you.
yup, definitely i have to replace him with home revision if i am taking him out of berries
i just paid his school fee for the next term till sept
meantime i will provide both (berries and my own supervision) for him and monitor how his progress
btw, i just bought the 四五快读 from Mayu bookstore
i paid for the whole series (books of 7), cost ard $80plus
i just used book 1 yesterday with my 9 and 6 yrs old
its too easy for my P3 , but i tot i just go thru again with him together with my younger one
will start him on book 2 today
although its school holiday now, but i am still keeping a tight watch on them, esp my P3
he didnt do very well for his SA1 :idea:
and also i try to make it a routine to do reading to both of them every 15min everyday
i hope i can persist and enforced it consistently
i am a FTWM so timing is sometimes not on my side

Started book 1 with DS2 (3.8yo), for him approach is more fun and play. For him, will need to follow the repetitive approach suggested by the author.

buying the books is easy but spending time and effort is tough
i am a FTWM, and time is very limited for me :razz:
by the time i reach home and after dinner, i have to go thru his h/w and revision. time left for 四五快读 is not much already
and moreover i got 2 kids to teach :slapshead: (got to get hubby to help out sometimes)
my son sleeps at 8pm bcos he has to wake up at 6.30am the next day for school
nevertheless, i will try my best to persist on this part
even a short 10min everyday is worth it

DD1 is slightly easier, DS2 need a bit more effort. DD3 (10mos) I will have to make the characters bigger, as suggested by author. I will start DD3 later because I have to re-print bigger cards for her.
I just press on thinking of the $$ that I will save. Now the hard work, later less headache (I hope :xedfingers: ) -

i learnt it the hard way for my son
i started him late and that is why he has difficulty in P3 now
for my gal, i started her with Berries when she is 4, so now she can read P1 chinese.
i really regret not starting my son earlier
are your kids attending any tuition now? -

Don't worry. There was a news article about a girl who was bad with Chinese but in P4, I think, started to improve when she read interesting Chinese books and think scored very well in PSLE -

Parents who have started using 四五快读 to teach your children Chinese, can you pls advise?
I started off with book 1 of the series recently. After the kids were asleep, I embarked on reading page 1 of the book that is meant to teach the parents how to use the series. Maybe because my Chinese isn’t good, after half an hour, I only read 3 pages.
So the next night, I skipped the front part and zoomed into the Chinese character cards and started teaching my 3.5yo to read. I didn’t incorporate any of the exercises/games/methods taught in the first part of the book because as mentioned above, I didn’t manage to finish reading that.
Could the more experienced parents advise if my way of teaching ie by only focusing on the Chinese character cards, is ok? I pointed to each word and read them aloud. My gal could remember the first 2 pages of Chinese words that I taught her in 1 night. -
hi sunnygirls,
compare 康氏中文快速识读教程 with 四五快读, which series can help child read Chinese storybooks faster ?
