He can speak bilingual easily, with English more fluent than Cantonese. Due to the beginning of phonic lessons in this year, he tries to pronoun words which he does not know when reading books. Though not always correct, his guessing is close enough to impress me.
SJC put high effort on learning and writing but asking students to read books may not be their major focus. During PN( in another school) my son have library books brought back every weekend from school, and parents are supposed to read the books with their kids together and write simple book reports. If this is the way a school to encourage book reading, then SJC may not have done so.
Personally I do not have problem with either SJC or previous PN method of teaching. School schedules are always very tight that if one activity is done another one would be sacrificed. On the other hand I used to read story books with my boy every night before sleeping.This has given him a basic interest in reading.
