HI,


My gal is going primary 1 next year. Is she still suitable to read 四五快读 ?

I have not expose her to these books before. She is only attending the K2 Chinese Prep classes from ZhengFei now.

Can someone advise ? Thanks.

I certainly don't think it is too late. The standard of the 四五快读 are higher than the P1 standard.

My son also going to P1 next year. I'm amazed how quickly his Chinese improved when we diligently used these books everyday from March this year. We have just completed Book 6. I also got a tutor to come in twice
week for 1.5 hours to coach him as well - she teach from 四五快读, reads other story books with him and also teach Hanyu Pinyin.


Hi

Mind giving me your tutor contact details... Looking for one to teach my daughter Chinese who is K2 now





In March, the tutor said he wasn't ready for P1 - now she tells me my son is reading at P2-P3 standard already. 四五快读 provides the foundation for word recognition - once the child can recognise a minimum number of words, they can read simple Chinese books and they will progress very fast from there.

If the parent knows Chinese and can spend time everyday reading from 四五快读 with the child, it will be more effective than any Chinese enrichment, prep class.
