The 默写 at P3 is indeed challenging for parents. Although my son didnt have to learn all the sentences (pick any 3)…it was still not easy from just 听写 to having both 听写 AND 默写. What I did was to copy and paste the entire thing using Word…then added in hanyu pinyin to help him memorize.


Daughter has to learn 默写 too…sentences are part of a compo…slightly easier than PH standard.

Thanks for the tip Janet. Every parenting style is different. For me, P3 is the time ds learns to take ownership of his studies (I consider lenient oredi, some of my friends let go as early as P1).

I get him the e-dictionary and he has to help himself. I only step in when he still doesn't understand despite trying. So far so good.

FQW,

I neglected my daughter for 2 solid years…with 默写 thrown in this year, I need to do something…start her off in the beginning and when she is on track, slowly let go. Same thing for my son.

Can I ask if this Friday afternoon session, would the class for P1-P2 will dismiss early? My P1 cannot answer me.

When is a good time to start the kids on e-dictionary? I chose to teach son to use the hard copy last yr, as he had trouble recognising the words… Dunno if he will hav issues adapting later on

The e-dict I'm using is a free app [KT-dict] I downloaded from App Store. There are higher rated ones but I'm used to the interface.

My colleague explained to me the traditional hardcopy dictionaries are better bcos they give deeper explanations and better examples too. I agree. But for convenience, we make do with the iPhone.

P3 kids would be asked to get the e-dictionary…these can be brought into the exam hall…of course it would be best to rely less on it as time is taken up when checking for the character. The KT-dict app on the iphone is really effective…my friend recommended to me and now I use it frequently.

I hav the app, n hav not been using it… Shall give it a try… Thanks…
