[A stroke a week] Before the school holidays started, the Chinese teacher at the boy’s kindy told me that we had to go through the Chinese strokes with him because when school reopens, the kids would have to start writing characters. So a good foundation of the knowledge of the strokes would help. Thankfully we have these two sets of acrylic puzzles for the Chinese strokes to make learning more interesting (the second set is especially helpful because I can’t even remember them anymore!). There are various ways to use these puzzles and they provide a more sensory approach to learning which suits the boy better. 🤗

We use the Sage series to get both of them started with Chinese characters and they have worked for us. Along the way, I’ve to think of ways to inject more fun in learning Chinese and I find it gets increasingly difficult as they grow older. 😅 But for now, learning Chinese characters has been smooth. I just need to make sure I converse with them in Mandarin (so tough) and I need to be more diligent in reading Chinese storybooks with them. 😊
