15 short Chinese passages. He/she will be
assigned to read one short passage per week.
• Spend a few minutes everyday to read and
practise the assigned reading passage with
your child. Get your child to read aloud.
• Circle the star that you think your child
deserves. Remember to give lots of praise and
encouragement in order to motivate him/her

the passage.
•We have also included some questions that you
can do with your child after he/she has finished
reading the passage.
Eg:
