york 和 st catherine 邊間d 英文好d呢

c-wong

the biggest barrier for her is she's a super super shy baby, she cannot express her talent under 'spotlight' (i.e. when many people around her). it's a disadvantage to interviews and verbal exams.

I bought some books for 4-5 yo but they are way too easy. even she said 'they are too easy for me!' I skipped 6-7 years and jumped to 8-9 and she still can read and understand many words. I don't want to jump to advanced level but she lose interest in the 4-6 years old books.
She studied in Stafford K1 and the books are too easy for her. On the day we collected and brought all the school books back home, that was 1 year ago, she could finish reading all the English books by herself without guiding or teaching her, and at that time she was only 2.5 years old. I think it's a god's gift+she watched too many cartoons, she self learned by herself.

she only likes watching cartoons with captions, because sometimes she cannot hear very clearly what the characters said when my baby boy was yelling or when I turned on the fan which was a bit noisy. If she doesn't know a word, she would still try hard to pronounce and 90% of the times she cld make it right.

Agreed with c-wong. My son is also studying at Stafford and I am very satisfied with his English ability. We have some difficulties to buy books for them and even though to find eng course for them as well. But actually, the maths are also very good.

That's very impressive

You run into the problem of finding her enough English readers that suits her reading ability with the correct contents for a 5 year old?

我唔知york嘅英文程度，呢期k2 SC教緊嘅topic word 如下：

Dinosaur, reptile, t-rex, apatosaurus, allos ...

But how do the teachers expect children to benefit from these rarely used English vocabularies

Hope they are not teaching this just to impress!

小兒讀York國際班，我平時在家也是用廣東話對話，但他也可以用完整英文句子對話，亦能夠自己讀出簡單的英文故事書。

Maybe k2 will 'open turbo'.I think these 2 kinder are good, just that sc is more reputable so more ppl recommend.

SC K2係每日都有平均三樣（中英數）功課，weekend有4-6樣，其實k1都有已經有功課架喎......你個小朋友冇咩？

我覺得sc k1 完全唔洗寫字,日日都唔知學咗d咩,聽人講k2都仲要下學期先有d功課,個個都話sc 好,k1都完啦,都仲未唔知又咩好,真係好想插班去york時,又有人話sc 英文好

不過我見我個女同啲同學仔好自然學識讀同識同我講每隻嘅特徵，好似對佢地嚟講一啲困難都冇

there's no local stream. Just 英粵 and 英普. Both have native english teachers as their class teachers.

Sc local stream English shd be the same as another stream? Just that local stream is English and Cantonese, another stream is mandarin and English? Can anyone confirm? Thanks

我認識的幾位SC(local stream)學生都會出外補英文, 係咪大部分學生都會咁做?
