      Presch emphasize on phonics which enable pri sch children to spell words based on phonetic pronunciation. For hypy, it is not difficult to pick up in P1 except the 标点符号. If the child speaks Mandarin, not difficult to pick up at P1 term 1

        Yes, do agree that phonics helps in the spelling part for the kids 😄

        Absolutely hands-up for this part! :rahrah: :rahrah:
        My P1 DD2 is very weak with HYPY and every week learning HYPY 听写 is a nightmare for both of us! 😢 😢

          My son problem is 笔画rather than hypy. He's left-handed so I find it difficult to teach him. He may get fullmarks for 听写but wrong strokes & anyhow \"draw\" acc to shape of word 🤷

              Oh dear! Spelling tests on 2nd week of pri 1? The presch that i’m going to enrol DD1 in has no spelling tests and don’t teach HYPY. They told me their graduates has no problem coping with Pri 1.

                Ya, i'm quite surprised. However, the words in the spelling list are quite simple. With adequate practice should hv full mark in English. Mostly, 10 each for English and Chinese (now in HYPY) respectively on weekly basis.

                    I heard of K2 being asked to spell 'omnivores' in first spelling (heard is under PCF enrichment programme) but my son P1 first spelling ask him to spell 'he'. 🙂

                      HYPY is important for schools not offering higher Chinese in lower primary. First term, many words are in HYPY. Even for 造句 is all in HYPY. I had some hard time interpreting though the children are kind of expert in this. 🙂

                        Wah! That's quite a difficult word. When my ds1 was in K2, I vaguely rem that his spelling were quite alright n 'peactixal' words... Meaning the teacher was trying to teach them how to read 'instructions' for qns: so it was words like 'Draw' / 'Pick up'/ 'Fill in'/ 'Blanks'/ 'Different' etc.
