Yes he is in P4 this year.

When he marks was not in satisfactory range in CA1, i started to guide him for his SA1 exam onwards. Thanks to my good friend who taught me the method in guiding him for this subject.

first Check which are the weak area. eg.辨字，词语选择/词语搭配，短文填空，完成句子， or 阅读理解. Then, Select assessments book that has more exercises on the weak area. A good practice will be going through his sch / other school exam papers with the kids and explain why certain answer could not be used/apply.

If he is in lower primary, you can buy the chinese vocabulary handbook from SAP.
Make sure he understand all the list of words listed in their textbooks. Ask him to make sentence, so to test whether he know how to use these vocabulary.

For comprehension and composition, parents are advise to read story book together with the kid. From the reading, the kid can pick up good phrases and vocabulary from the books.

Hi,


How old is your kid? I sent mine for P1 composition writing recently. Have attended 3 lessons. The teacher will go through a passage with the class and get them to copy the whole passage. Feedback from the teacher is that my son writing is very slow so he managed only one para in class. She asked us to get him to complete it at home. They give spelling in both chinese characters and HYPY 5 words every week. Think still early to tell whether good or not.

Can anyone advise on this enrichment Ctr?

Hahaha, Smiley as u can see I posted since 2010 no one responded. Not sure if it was because no other parents put their kids to this centre or they have no comments. But I let my son attend after weeks of no response. I feel the topic covered in K1 was a bit too difficult for the kids as compared to Tien Hsia. But when my son went to K2, Beijing Language started drilling them hanyu pinyin n I think it helped my son till now he is in P1 n I feel his hanyu pinyin are quite good. But if u r looking into their creative writing class, I would not recommend cos my elder one attended the P3 writing class n I find the teacher not very precise in explaining the words to the kids. But it might just depends on the teacher. It is really difficult to find good Chinese enrichment class.

Hi dohdoh, try Xuelin Learning Hub. I was apprehensive initially due to long travelling distance required. However, now, NO regrets! They are really fanastic! See their thread.

[dohdoh]

Thanks, KS but it is really far away n we usually put our kids to weekdays enrichments cos schools these days r so hectic n if possible, we prefer to free their weekends for some sports. But will keep that in mind

Most welcome, dohdoh. Yes, travelling is a hassle. I travel from Thomson to Katong! & I am sending 3! Ha…ha…
