Let her read more Chinese books. The only way to improve is to read and speak the language

There are also suggestions on Chinese enrichment centres in this forum, if you are keen. To improve language skills, must have opportunity, to listen, speak, read and write. Once learn new words, use it so that can improve.

There was an article about a P4 who dislike Chinese and her result in the subject was not good. She became interested in the language when she was introduced to interesting stories. She obtained very good results for PSLE.

Wow! New Club ah..


My DS is born in yr 2005.. Having all the anxieties as he will be under Phase 2C in BVPS..

I have 2 other DDs.. all of them 2 yrs apart..

[bigsnoopy]

@SAHM_TAN I really tried but I get very frustrated doing it. You see I am a perfectionist. I expect DD to be able to recognize the chinese character after I go through with her. While her enrichment school teacher feel she is doing fine, I still find her weak.

Usually, kids will forget, so need to repeat till it becomes permament memory. The length of time differs.

I was like you but learnt that no use to be frustrated, just have to match the child's pace.
