Learning Chinese the Flashcards Way

Little Bee had always been a very kinesthetic learner, which is why it is almost impossible to sit her down and get her to read long passages, especially in Chinese, a language she is still not that comfortable with.

Which is why I think the word cards in 四五快读 had been very suitable for her learning style, because she relished in taking these out and playing with them. I noticed she also learns best if fun-loving her thinks she is involved in play or games. The below pictures are some examples of how she utilised her 四五快读 word cards.

简单的造句
Sentence formation using available words above
词句重组

We use word cards to let her remember high-frequency words like the above. 
She would pour out the copious cards and played all sorts of games with them - 词句重组,sorting, sentence creation. She learns a lot easier and faster this way, and before long, could read longer Chinese passages at the end of last year, like the one below. 


If your child is a kinesthetic learner, flashcards or word cards would be an excellent and fun platform for them to learn!
