[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child started in first grade. It was rocky at the beginning, but she did catch up. You might want to have your child tutored for a bit before entering YY. I disagree that difficulty in Chinese and English are linked for every child. Many children struggle in English, but do not have difficulty in Chinese. There is less decoding in Chinese. The sound that the character makes does not change. In English a child has to figure out which rule applies which can be difficult (tough and though for example). Granted there is more memorization in Chinese, but for many children English is more difficult. [/quote] This is 11:07. Totally agree re there not being a general link between progress in English and Chinese, I was referring to the kids in the alternate track only.[/quote] Sorry, meant I am 10:19. Skipped coffee this am![/quote]
