Recognise

The first and most critical component is "认" (Roots Recognition), which studies the origin of how all Chinese characters are formed. Unlike normal teaching methods where the child learns and memorises one character at a time, studying the origin and how the character was formed lets him actually learn 5 times more characters or even more! Your child will also start to understand how each word is formed instead of painfully memorising how to write them. The result? He will start to recognise "families" of the same word even if he has never seen them before. Imagine your child learning 5 times faster than his peers!

Remember

After "认" recognition, the 2nd most important is to "记" (Remember) it in other forms to engage the whole brain. And not just any kind of remembering. How do children remember best? Through play of course. Unlike most other centres and preschools in which play activities carried out randomly… This method uses Mnemonic Play; consisting 9 specific Play activities specially created that integrates the words they just learnt to recognise into creative activities such as Speech & Drama, Songs, Flash Cards, Word Games etc. The best part? Your child will not only be learning how to remember Chinese Characters… he will even begin to speak better Chinese and relate Chinese to fun & play! This is very critical in nurturing his interest in Chinese and engages his creativity in using the language.

Read

Now that they are interested and had a lot of fun in remembering Chinese , the last part of the process is Read "读" (Characters-linked Reading). Characters-linked reading takes all the characters freshly entered into their memories and transfers them to practical use and long term memory. How it's done differently, is that the our picture storybooks follow the same theme and topic as what they just recognised (认) and remembered (记). Through Character-Linked Reading of picture storybooks, they start to apply everything they learnt and reading is even linked to fun for them as well. And 6 months later, this means children start to read Chinese books and primary school textbooks by themselves because it's fun to read!
