Read this article in English: 16 Chinese books to read to your kids now, to nurture their love for Chinese by the end of the Circuit Breaker
学习母语对大部分新加坡儿童来说都是一个难题,让他们爱上自己的母语更是难上加难。 难怪明智的父母会早早设法收集最好的资源,以便让他们的孩子在上小学之前就拥有领先于同龄伙伴的优势。 新加坡在4月4日开始实施的阻断措施可能会让很多父母感到不知所措,但这也可能是我们花时间与孩子们相处并帮助他们提高对华文兴趣的良机。 危机也可以变成契机。也许一个月之后,您的孩子无论是华文口语还是理解能力都会取得显著进步,给他们的幼教老师带来惊喜!
我们的热心父母团队也积极参与进来,开发了一系列有声书籍,使得那些不让自己的孩子们使用太多电子产品的父母可以播放这些有声书给孩子们听。记得随时关注本文,因为我们会上传文中所列书籍的音频文件。同时,您还可以查看我们的一些英语有声书籍。
培养孩子对华文的兴趣有什么灵丹妙方
无论向哪位华文专家求教,他们的回答可能都会大同小异。如果要掌握这门语言,那么最好的办法就是:多听,多读,多写,多说。 在本文我们主要注重“多读”这一项。
为什么“多读”很重要?
这是让孩子对华语产生兴趣的最有效方法之一。在“多读”上下功夫还有什么好处?一旦孩子养成了阅读(华文)书籍的爱好,那么这也会成为伴随其成长的终身习惯!很多父母无法为孩子找到适合的华文书籍。因此,我们的课程专家精心整理了这个推荐书籍列表,每本书都深受孩子们的喜爱,他们也能从中学到有趣的知识。
适合学龄前儿童阅读的华文书籍
1. 好饿的小蛇 (适合0至3岁幼儿)
