Rynae has a strong interest for English language. She articulates well in English, understands English and is a competent reader albeit her young age. On the contrary, when it comes to Chinese language, she showed not the slightest interest, even when I offered to read her Chinese story books. The set of Chinese words flash cards I bought her were left idle. I hear alarm.
When she was small, I did some labelings like 'door', 'chair', 'fan' etc, around the house in a bid to help her to recognise the words. I removed all these during spring cleaning as she already knew how to read them. It seems that I have to use the same method, in Chinese this time, to help her recognise some simple household words. Below are some of the cards I DIY-ed. It doesn't take much time to print and laminitate though. To make sure she pays attention to the words, I asked her to repeat after me, thereafter paste each onto the respective items.
Adding on, I also made her a set of Chinese Numerical Dominoes. Remember I preach Learn Thru' Play? I hope this does her good. Afterall, she responded well to the Time, Dora and Dots Dominoes I made for her so this shouldn't go too wrong. And boy! Was I happy when she suggested the card game herself. If this method goes well, I'll make her more Chinese Dominoes!
