Comparing Chinese Enrichment (Primary/Preschool)

[phtthp]

went for both trial at Zi Ying and Berries.


Zi Ying’s approach is help child recognize as many chinese characters as possible. N2 not much handwriting. Emphasis now is on Chinese word recognition. One side flash chinese words, the other side flash ‘chinese word + corresponding picture’ - so that child knows meaning of the word.

Berries’ approach for N2 level flash cards bring home only 3 words, parents to revise with child at home, plus worksheet done in class helped by teacher (like draw line to match chinese word to the correct picture).

Berries’ feedback got mixed feedback. Some said very good bec their child can read Chinese readers. But another friend of mine after 1 Term switched over to Hans said Hans is better. She said kids memorize chinese words from Berries reader, her daughter prefer Hans, chinese improved.

after attending both trial, still confused … to choose Zi Ying or Berries ?

can any K1 or K2 parent with Zi Ying share your valuable experience ? how does Zi Ying help prepare your child ?
does Zi Ying give you flashcards to revise with child at home ?

still confused …

yes. berries 'readers' are books that are based on Berries preschool curriculum, but up to P1. after P1, they will have to purchase selected story books. that is my ds1's time, so not sure about now.
