中文科上有學習困難

principal

Bluestar,

Very sorry for giving you a hard task!!  

It is very vague to classify "good Chinese books for primary pupils".
But we will highly appreciate if you could just share the names of several Chinese books that you had bought before and you think these few books are good for our children's level.

The selecting criteria may be easy to read and with an interesting story.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, all,
For my curiosity, there are so many choices of books in public library. Why you all need to buy so much books for the kids??
I normally borrow books from public library. As there is deadline to return the book, would it be more effective to force the kids to read the book??
I would like to learn from those experienced as there are always pros and cons.

Bluestar

Well, I sometimes buy and sometimes borrow from the public library too.  It all depends on whether I have time to go where, and whether the books are of re-reading value.

******

For Chin books from Taiwan,
can either find these in 城邦, 景行, 讀書人,
or from 台灣網上書店.

Take a look at books under the following series,
suitable for pr kids,
very interesting and funny books,
level is in between picture books and wordy chapter books,
kids are more likely to read them and develop a reading habit.

Lots of these are available from public library,
cost of ordering directly from TW web bookshops are cheaper than from HK bookshops but then if you count postage/shipping costs then if the HK bookshop offer 25% off better buy in HK.

Bluestar,

Many thanks for your detailed recommendation.

We will have a look.

And I believe the sales of these series of books will be up by at least 30% in the coming few weeks!!

My reply was :

But I won't get any commission from it woh.
What a pity !

The books I referred to are all 橋樑書, bridging the gap between picture books and chapter books.

heldikl,

1)        Yes, you can borrow many Chinese books in the public libraries but you may not be able to borrow those new series or the most popular series so easily.

2)        For some interesting books, the kids may want to read them for the second or even the third time.   And sometimes they love to own/keep those books as good memories.

3)        It will be a pity in case the deadline is approaching and your child loves that particular book so much but due to the upcoming examinations and tests, you need to return the books because the loan periods have already been extended for two times!!!

I think most of us do both.   
On one hand, we try to borrow some books from public libraries free of charges.   
On the other hand, we are obliged to buy a few special ones sometimes if we forsee that we cannot borrow those in the public libraries so easily.

Bluestar,

I know you have no commission by doing so.

However, I can guarantee that the satisfaction that you can gain from the appreciation of TSL (or may be some other) parents is much much more valuable than any monetary return.    

It's my first time to hear about "橋樑書"!!
It is an interesting term.

I have learned something new.

The 1st time I heard of this term was in this year's Book Fair.

Do try and take a look.
Very interesting books, by my standards.
The titles are more suitable for boys actually,
e.g. 屁屁超人.
Some prim and proper parents may not accept such books.

Bluestar,

I know that interesting book "屁屁超人" and actually my child already read it.
Yes, I think most boys will like this book more because of all the "farting stuff".

And I am defintely not a prim and proper parent.
May be the opposite!!  

My child is currently reading a book
called "冰箱裡的企鵝" <東方出版社>.

Let's share more about books here whenever we have good information.

Just read your tips (PM) with many thanks.

I think your tips are very useful.
I will ask my child to use this method from now on.

Meanwhile, please take care yourself.

HEIDI 媽,
可否pm一份比我, 閱讀埋解真是囡囡的死穴!

Principal,
Thanks for sharing.  中文書方面, 你是否察覺到馬翠蘿的書都頗受我校女生歡迎? 翠蘿是校園小說家, 所寫的少年成長小說及童話故事，緊貼時代脈搏、滲透積極向上的訊息,而馬翠蘿的仔仔是青年小說家麥曉帆. 他的書亦廣受中學生歡迎.

暫時我只讓囡囡看馬翠蘿 的某些書. 而麥曉帆的書有些牽涉到愛情方面, 我頗為避忌. 始終覺得小朋友太細.   

TINGMUM

Heidi媽 ,

己收到! Thank you! 真係對測/考好有幫助!

期待緊你的書籍交流!
