Morning mummies,
How well should our 07 tots be writing free hand now? I have been thinking that word recognition and concepts learning are more important and easier to teach now, so the only writing which my gals are doing at home now is only for English and Numbers, and even then, I don’t really emphasize a lot or ask them to rewrite if the writings isn’t that legible or neat….really depends on their mood. Never ask them to do any Chinese writing at home, and I think in their school, they are also not writing Chinese (maybe just tracing) yet. However over the weekend, their Chinese enrichment teacher feedback that can let them practice more on writing Chinese words….they were supposed to write the character for ‘nine’ in Chinese. The workbook has a few ‘nine’ characters for them to trace and 2 boxes for them to write by themselves. Apparently my gals say they can’t write it, and the teacher has to write in colour pencils, then my gals trace over it…. -
Sean wife, same as u, i feel recognition and concepts are more important, writing will come eventually, like DD can write from what she sees/recognise/snapshot for her letters, stroke not correct, so i intervene by teaching her the right stroke. as for chinese, not yet i think, but she can write "fei" as in fly and "shi" as in ten in chinese, i thk her school let them trace with fingers in the air… she then can write it out at home, im teacher her to write her surname, which is easy cos it’s "ONG" wang. hee simple stroke can teach now i guess… like "yi, er shan".

Agree with both mummies... now im focusing more on recognition of words and concepts of maths... My DS still just learning strokes for chinese... not even a proper character yet.. -

Ya lor….the kiasu me went to Popular to look for Chinese writing books (so so so many of them I want to faint…). But most of the words look so small….most probably they will end up scribbling…so end up never buy any.
I think simple strokes still ok, but to me, words like ‘jiu’ (nine) and ‘si’ (four) do not seem easy for a yet to be 4-year old to write freehand legibly….but anyway I know the teacher means well and she is really a nice and caring teacher to my gals. -
Just to share - my DD can write A-Z and 1-10 only. She is just learning to write the chinese strokes in nursery school, so can’t write full characters yet. As for recognising words, she can recognise the simple ones without looking at pix. More difficult ones, got to see pix then she will know the words.
