There are so many Chinese book series for young kids that I am confused which one is suitable.

[quote=\"bigsnoopy\"]@SAHM_TAN -you mean you stop the classes to go on holiday?

Nope. I'm using a series of books titled si wu kuai du 四五快读 to build her Chinese recognition. So planning to stop her classes.

oh! I am so afraid to stop her chinese class as she is already not using much chinese at home.[/quote]We speak Mandarin at home, though she's speaking more English now There's something about English that attracts kids :lol:

Now I need to work on her character recognition.

I like the 四五快读 because the author will help parents on how to teach the characters to the kid.

Parents will have to read 30 pages of instruction. For each lesson, the author will have suggestion on how to teach each character.

There's no English, so have to understand the language.

We also have to cut out the characters card found at the back of each book.

The only part that I don't like is that some phrases are more suitable in China's context.

Once the child is able to recognise the characters, then can introduce storybooks to the child. In the meantime, can still read Chinese books to them to help them build the interest and recognise words along the way.

Entering the war in phase 2C and options are ZDPS (nearest) and CHIJ(Kellock) (no direct bus). RMPS definitely no chance since it is so hot. Other possible options include Cantonment PS and GESPS.

Tough decisions! P2C means it is the distance game right? Why do you say no chance at RMPS? Is it more than 1km?

Saw images of the book online, but reading that 30 pages of instructions in Chinese will probably kill me first! :scared:

Just to go along with the Kiasu theme in this forum, I am already looking for a Chinese tutor for my DD now!

I am also thinking of that. Do you manage to find one already?
