Mandarin Early Readers @ Julia Gabriel


Giselle attended this week long of chinese classes at Julia Gabriel and I could see that she has alot of fun with Fang Lao Shi (main teacher) and Zhang Lao Shi (Asst Teacher).
Through this unique five-day programme, the kids are equipped with skills that enable them to read simple storybooks, understanding the relationship between pictures, words and speech.
Activties included:
Drama games, Sharing Books and Colourful stories, word recognition games, Structuring simple sentences, Reading aloud individually and in small groups.
I was observing Giselle most of the time outside the class through their bamboo blinds. During the first 2 days of the lessons, Giselle was quite to herself, didn't really participate in the dances and movement. However, for the remaining days, Giselle started to dance and move according to instructions which I was quite glad.
Everyday she would tell me that she wants to go Fang Lao shi class. As compared to English, I can sense that she really love learning Mandarin...
