Some parents had been asking me to share how to teach
Chinese. So here is my way:
I believe that children should not learn how to write
if they are below 5. So, from the time Wen is three, I have only been teaching
him to read.
Chinese is a beautiful language especially the Chinese
characters. Each word is like a picture. There are a lot of meanings behind
each word. When we teach Chinese to kids, we should introduce the word using
flashcards. Wen learnt the words by memorizing the whole word like a picture. I
started with 3 flashcards each day and increase gradually. When he was in P1,
it was 15 flashcards per day. For words he could not remember, I have to
introduce the cards to him again until he remembered.
A good material to use will be the 四五快读 books from China. It is a series of 7 books which you
can get from Popular Bookshop or from sprees. There are flashcards at the back
of each book.
