I'm starting to think there's double standards for Eng and Chi leh. For Eng we don't seem that hang up abt P1 std or not. For reading we are ok to \"push\" the child to read Harry Potter by P1 but for Chi we seem to be very particular abt whether it's P1 std or not. I mean for both languages I would think the aim is to build the word bank as much as possible. Maybe it's easier for Eng becos most of the words the kids can decipher using phonics but Chi unless the HYPY is printed below the characters, it's very much char recognition.
This is not abt mummyscopio's situation. But it triggered me thinking abt how we view the 2 languages.
Maybe we should free our minds. Maybe there's no std. :siam:

不是假的，是懒惰。 一点点就说难。家长也觉得要教也很辛苦。到头来，我们的中文水准也越来越退步。
That's why SG 的 bilingualism is 假的.
Tomorrow is dd's last paper... CL... :yikes:
Hope it won't be as difficult as you all 的...

hmm DD1 doesn't read Chinese books... think it was her 1st time borrowing books from school but the difference is... we spoke to her in chinese and English since birth.....and whenever we point to something, it would be in chinese and english...Lenny08:

Next, I made DD1 use her chinese dictionary actively. I would say DD2 word recogition is on par with DD1 as she read the 四五快读
It is definitely one of those languages which requires more involvement and effort.

Still say never do anything. DS is only reading Geronimo Stilton and Andrew Lost series.
