Teaching Chinese at Home

[allseasons]

Hi PiggyLalala and Brenda10,


Where to buy 小学华文补充读物, 哥妹俩 and 小白龙? Any online store that I can order?

For 小学华文补充读物, is it a story book and the words are relevant to the school textbook? How about 哥妹俩, is it comics?

Thanks a lot..

I remembered she started with the comics of 小白龙 and until today she still would take out to read.

Other books like 小学华文补充读物,哥妹俩 also help to cultivate the interest.

The series of novel like 笑猫日记, 淘气包马小跳系列 do also further help her to get use to CL novel.

Then she slowly moves into another series of books like 卫斯理.

:thankyou: for your sharing. Will start cultivating my ds2 to read chinese storybooks. I have bought a few of the 小学华文补充读物, and 哥妹俩. Will take them out and make sure that he reads.[/quote]

Hi Brenda,


How old is yr DD? I remember that I read the whole series of 卫斯里 fm upper Pri to Sec… so long ago, I cannot remember if it is too difficult for lower Pri? My DS is in P3 and he does not read CL books on his own except the ‘Little White Dragon’ and ‘Doremon’.

Hi allseasons

For 小学华文补充读物, you can borrow from library or buy it from popular Bras Brash or Toa Payoh as I still see them at these two stores. (Hopefully is still available)

The books are story books and I would think is alright for the primary school children.

The books were published in 1985/1986 but revised edition on Year 2005.
(Information extracted from the volume 4 - suitable for P4 & P5 and Volume 5 - suitable for P5 & P6 respectively.)

For 哥妹俩, think most of the popular are selling and those books that we bought are in comics.

For 小白龙, seems like no more selling in Popular but we saw it at the Suntec book fair this May.

Hope the above information useful.

Hi Atan,

DD is P6 this year. I also read all these books many years ago.

I personally think the books are more suitable for upper primary as the story book like 寻梦 is about 100k++ words and the font size is quite similar to CL news paper text.

Just my 2 cents thought

Tks, Brenda.

I have finally finished 好妈妈胜过好老师!


It's really quite a good book! Also, in the 后记，she did say that 圆圆was her daughter's 乳名, and she used that to give her a bit of privacy. Recall some of us were wondering whether that was her real name.

Hi, the #14 book 小白的选择 （笑猫日记系列）is out!

[markfch]

Saw 笑猫日记系列 at BB Popular last mth, was tempted to buy but upon browsing it, realised that it’s too advance for my P1 boy to read. May I know at what HCL level is the standard pitched?


Sidetrack a bit, now reading a chinese novel by 九把刀.

There is a phrase ‘一山还比一山高，不如身在此山中.’ I know what the first part means, but may I know what does the second part mean? 谢谢.
