Teaching Preschooler Chinese At Home

Submitted by Elice Lim

I have received some chinese books of  学前阅读计划 series from my ex-colleague.

Since I have 2 series of it, so I make use of it to teach my kids chinese by using this reader which is similar to Peter & Jane series. Wow… it is really good! I can see big improvement in my kids who obviously face problems in recognising chinese words! Very Happy

I was encouraged to buy the further series for my kids. Smile From the link, I noticed there are actually 5 series for this reader. Each series has 8 books. After finishing all the 5 series, children are exposed to 1200 words.

Here are few pages of the book 1 content in 1st series:

 
 

 

(Surprisingly it is same as the link http://www.odonatabooks.com/webshaper/store/viewCat.asp?catID=3 a forummer "Charmaine_chong" has refered before! )

I started to use this reader 2 weeks ago. I ask my kids to read out loud for few pages or one whole book everyday, depends whether they have mastered the previous pages. So far, my girl has proceeded to read book 1 for 2nd series, while my boys are reading book 5 and book 6 for 1st series.

Hopefully they can finish all the series before they go to P1 next year! Then be able to read other chinese books with interest as well… Smile

So if any parents here are interested, you can refer to the above link too.
