hihi, my dd is going to P1 in 2014. she doesnt attend enrichm class, only pcf k2 and self taught. hope that she wouldnt be lagging behind the average students.

so far no tingxie fr her sch.

My dd1 didn't have tingxie when she was in K2 and she didn't have any issue with tingxie in P1. She does not have Chi enrichment too. But we do speaks Mandarin at home.

My ds have tingxie when he was in K1 and K2, we speak minimal Mandarin at home n he did not attend any enrichment classes.. but he still have prob with tingxie during P1, now slightly better.. thus i feel it is all based on individual child..

U may juz start preparing her like what phtthp suggested earlier.

do not rely everything 100% on the kindergarten, to prepare your child for P1 Chinese.
You need to do your part too, to help your child at home.

because some kindy don't prepare kids for P1 Chinese well.
And when your child enter P1 - you regret, wished that you'd prepared him / her earlier for this, for that. By then, you're under stress because of time constraint.
