Am I prepping my preschooler … or over-prepping?

Wondering if you’re doing just fine or too much when getting your little one ready for Primary 1? Our social media series titled Pace, Not Pressure answers the queries on parents’ minds when easing their child’s transition to primary school.

 

1. Numeracy

Must my child know addition and multiplication before Primary 1? Do they need to recite numbers at least up to 100?

2. Spelling

How soon must my child need to spell?

3. Penmanship

Should my child be practising their handwriting more?

4. Purposeful play

Should my little one be sitting down to do more ‘real learning’? Playing so much won’t help them learn to focus, right?

5. Hanyu Pinyin

Does my child need to learn Hanyu Pinyin before Primary 1? Must they be able to read Chinese books on their own?
