Programme : Interactive Chinese Storytelling 夏日读乐乐（儿童/亲子班)

Is your child not doing well in Chinese Oral? Students find it difficult often because they are weak in inference, or have not been trained how to think beyond surface level.
During this lesson, they use Picture Books (绘本) to captivate the children’s interest, while they learn the language and develop thinking skills (through guidance by teachers). Children can observe and pick up expressions and visual symbols, unleash their creativity, think of possible plot twists, while learning proper Chinese language articulation and usage.
There are two types of classes to choose from: Children Only and Parent & Child Session (focus on bonding and learning together).

Each session covers different themes, will teach the parent and child how to effectively use these materials to learn.
