The book is available at Popular bookstore.
May have to look it under preschool section instead of P1 assessment book.

[quote]Hi,


Does anyone know if there is any assessment books that the the kid can practice HYPY? Or rather any book that can help the kid improve on HYPY? Or any way to help to kid improve his HYPY?

Hi Jenao,

I personally think that this book is good for learning hanyupinyin, you might want to check it up to see if it is suitable.

THanks.

jenao, i am using the following for DS general practice (1st image) and the guide (2nd image) for self reference so than I \"control\" myself not to have too high expectation over P1 syllabus

in my opinion, if you are going to guide you child in hypy, you may like to run through the guide (CD included) , re-cap and get your tongue \"warm-up\" before going through with your child

Hi snowcloud :snuggles:
Most welcome! In fact I was searching for the P1 assessment books on HYPY and saw the above but I din't get it.

I am using the following for my P1 DD2 who is extremely weak with HYPY :-

Hi Champion,

look like the book which you are using is a \"workbook\" to the one I mentioned as that book is a guide book under the same publisher.
Parent can go through the chapter from the guide book and then assign work from the \"workbook\" to reinforce what the child had learnt.

hi all,


how to determine if a child is weak in HYPY? can give examples?

[snowcloud]

Hi poppy15,


it depends on how one define weak. For me, if a child

1) can’t differentiate eg "b" and "p","d" and "t", "n" and "l" etc.

2) can’t determine the "声调sheng diao" without help

3) can’t decide where to put the "sheng diao"

4) not familiar with the hanyupinyin rule

then he/she is consider weak in it.

This is what I personally think. Maybe other parents with child who are weak in hanyupinyin can share their view.

Snowcloud, the SAP HYPY guide that you listed above, does it teach the 4 problems you listed? Thanks for sharing this.

I would say this book is very systematic in it's approach towards teaching hanyupinyin. If you follow the book closely to teach your child, the above mentioned problem should be solved. However, some kids still can.t differentiate \"b\" and \" p\" etc though he/she had been taught. When this happen, we need to use some way to help them to tell the difference.eg You can try asking your child to put his/her hand in front of the mouth and pronounce \"b\" and tell him \"you don't feel much air coming out of his mouth. Then try saying \"p\" with the hand still in front of his mouth, he should feel there is much air coming out of his mouth. Initially, he needs this method to help him decide whether it should be \" b\" or \" p\" but after sometimes, he should be able to do so without help.

Sorry, my command of English language is not good. Hope you can understand what I am trying to explain here. hope your child find it useful.
