Description
Does your child enjoy reading Chinese books? Is reading Chinese as easy and effortless for them as reading English?
Studies show that local students, regardless of their proficiency in Chinese, spend more time learning Chinese than on other subjects. Despite putting in so much time and effort, the results are often minimal. Many children move from fearing Chinese to developing a dislike for it. Have you ever wondered why?
In Singapore, parents place great importance on their children’s Chinese education. However, in an English-dominated environment, it is challenging to create a conducive environment for listening and speaking Chinese, and reading has become a bottleneck in Chinese education. Without effective reading, how can students develop sustained interest in learning Chinese? Research indicates that the amount of extracurricular reading should be two to four times that of in-class reading to truly improve reading proficiency.
It’s best to cultivate reading habits from a young age. Once reading Chinese becomes a habit, the child will be able to progress independently. Missing this golden opportunity will require much more effort to catch up in the future. Let your child enjoys Chinese reading with us now!
