As a preschool educator, I believe that the child needs confidence more than anything else in mastering a language. First, recognise that the child's current level or standard in English. Mark it down somewhere. Second, do as much as you can in English, in baking, in daily routines and interactions. Comprehension comes before reading and then comes writing. Third, read with her. Read anything she likes or is interested in. Listening to songs, rhymes will help. When she's receptive to the language, prepare readers to read with her. always encourage. repeat the same book for a week to let her feel that she can do it. when they have sufficient positive experiences, they will then attempt to do it again. To me, the key is to allow the child to feel interested and confident in the subject. not just know it. To end, i think it's crucial to remember some things not to do with young children.... (1) Do not comment about what the child cannot do, just be patient and repeat. reptition is the key for young kids. (2) Don't be over ambitious about the standard they have to attain. Celebrate when the child acheives another 10 words. Be happy with yours and her acheivements. everywhere is a reading opportunity. signs, letters, toy boxes, do not limit it to just classes. it's just my two cents worth.

RE: Guangyang Primary
Hi, I am considering all schools within my area for my so, who will be primary one in 2014. We are not very keen on a branded school and was wondering about how Guangyang Primary is now. I will appreciate if any parent could feedback about their personal experience about the school. i.e. the syllabus, the teachers, the CCAs. Anything about the school.Thank u in advcance.
