Preschool Curriculum
-
Champion:
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 wordWan:
Presch emphasize on phonics which enable pri sch children to spell words based on phonetic pronunciation.
Yes, do agree that phonics helps in the spelling part for the kids
Wan:
Absolutely hands-up for this part! :rahrah: :rahrah: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
My P1 DD2 is very weak with HYPY and every week learning HYPY 听写 is a nightmare for both of us!

Anyone who can advise the differences in curriculum offered in PCF (Preschool) versus private centres like Agape, MMI? Thanks

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. -
anyone has the spelling list when the kids r in k1/k2 & P1, wana know wat words they r testing…

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. -

my boy's spelling words were more like listening compre style.
we were given a list of what will be tested eg for one of the spelling -ig, -in, -ip, -it ; then the teacher will say out 5 words (1 from each category and 1 more with 'sp', 'sh' these type of 2 letters in front) and the kid writes out. very easy but have to listen intently. -
wa "omnivores" i cant remember how to spell also…my son apple also cant remeber
