      Hi, can I ask you if your child is a local or comes from China?
      I do know of a family who came from China. I learnt that at 2 years old in China, the kiasu mothers will start teaching child to recognize words. Currently that girl is in Pri school now and her Chinese standard is comparable to a secondary one. I asked her mother and she told me her child learnt the words meant for primary students when her child was in kindergarten. The Chinese top school exam papers are too easy for the child. However, the child's English standard is not very good.

        zakashi:


        No Chinese character except hypy. I did not even know what word is that. All the pages are in hypy for tingxie (here we also did not put tone on top of the hypy when we quote). I need to search for the Chinese character to write beside the hypy. It is very frustrating.

        hi zakashi,

        after you obtain the tingxie listing from your child's Chinese tr / HOD,

        a)
        1st: ask yr child to read aloud each word from listing (given).
        test if child able to recognize the character first (without aid of any hypy)

        example (tingxie test 1)

        一\t\t\t五\t\t\t鱼\t\t\t雨

        我


        鸦\t\t\t蛙\t\t\t窝\t\t\t牙 \t

        袜

        b)
        2nd: ask your child to fill in the hypy correct tone, beside each character.

        一\t\tyi\t

        五\t\twu

        鱼\t\tyu

        雨 \t\tyu

        我\t\two

        鸦\t\tya\t\t

        蛙\t\twa

        窝\t\two

        牙 \t\tya

        袜 \t\twa

        c)
        3rd: ask your child to write out both the Chinese word, + hypy tone beside it( side by side).

        Thanks. That is what I am doing now. It is the 4 tones that my child is confused.

            Hi, can I ask you if you are a Chinese school teacher?

            I've a friend (local), used to be a retired Chinese school teacher from a reknown CHIJ SAP school. She taught her grand-child to recognize as many words as possible and cheng yu (idioms) using (DIY + purchased off the shelf) flash cards, since 2 years old. Currently that girl is P5 now, her Chinese essays / composition standard is comparable to a Secondary 4 student.
