育儿 | 生活 | 学习华文之路

今天想和大家分享我家马宝的中文学习之路~

自小我会和马宝亲子阅读,中英文绘本都会轮流读,所以她也自小就非常爱看书。渐渐地,也会发现她比较喜欢读英文书,现在8岁的她已经可以自己阅读一本英文小说。

中文就没有这样被青睐了。哈哈哈。我们家用中文交谈,会话没问题,但阅读中文书对她是有一定的挑战。

大约4-5岁时我是用基础汉字500(共25本书,一本书20个字)来和她每天阅读,一天认1-2个字左右,拉长一点时间大约7-8个月后也就读完了。我极力推荐这个系列,内容非常有趣,图画很吸引小小孩的,最重要是每学一个字后的下一篇,内容一定重用同一个字加强记忆。





然后我再用红蜻蜓的明明和丽丽系列继续每日让她朗读,如今还在1100字系列龟速进行。同一篇的文章她可能会朗读好几天,直到她认得所有的字。

我家马宝是在家教育的,没去小学。自7岁起,我选择采用华小的中文课本和练习本,每早上大约15分钟的课及完成习题。

然后我再用网上学习系统让她做10-15分钟的Audio听力理解练习和Video Flash card的生字认字练习,或者做巩固练习,为当个星期学完的章节做个总结。我也非常推荐这个网络学习系统,它提供的所有的习题,考试习题和教材都是由200+经验老师根据华小课程纲要准备的。我只需要每天让小孩花个15分钟来一个不同于传统学习的方法,提高她对语文的兴趣学习。从我的视频可以看到,她可为那几句‘答对了’,‘真聪明’的称赞得乐嘻嘻的。哈哈哈。




我觉得自小打好语文的基础非常重要,尤其是在学校体制内上课的小孩们,如果语文如国文和中文基础没打好,在国小或华小的接下来几年学习其他的科目时会更事倍功半,小孩甚至会有情绪上的压力,自卑及逃避。前一两年班也许觉得没多大影响,到四年级以上学的知识越来越深后,语文上较弱所带来的副作用就会显现出来了。

最近我的朋友就读华小五年纪的孩子就面临这样的问题,甚至会崩溃好几天,因为不明白数学及科学使用的中文,也就不懂到底课文说的是什么,要解决的是什么问题。这让他觉得学习是一种折磨。

以上是我的分享,有机会我也可以分享学习马来文过程,用什么马来文读物来做朗读。唯一一样的是我还是用同个网上学习系统来做马来文的Audio听力理解练习,Video Flash card的生字认字练习,以及巩固练习。

How to use Vschool Trend program to guide children in self-learning

For the child who entering middle school will begin to feel the pressure of exams. What we can do as parents is to guide our children how to learn more accurately and save time and effort.

Vschool trend has Notes function. Each subject has key summaries for each chapter. Subjects like Sejarah/Geography you may consider to print out the notes of the chapters that going to be learnt that week for your child to take to school. The child listens directly to the teacher's explanation in class, and adds the key points in the notes which is convenient for her to remember. Most of the textbook content is lengthy,  thus the notes can indirectly let children know how to grasp the key points.





After the school, the child can spend 10 minutes to do the exercise of the chapter that learnt. Instant marking can let the child directly know the answer is correct or otherwise, and learn immediately (it is more time-saving and effective than spending time doing hardcopy homework).


From My progress section, you can know how well she understands the chapter, and can roughly know her weaknesses. If the child scored the exercise, you no need to spend time to do the same exercise over and over again. If the child fail the exercise, you can find out where the child is stuck with and help her in a timely manner. (We can breathe a sigh of relief in the future when she knows how to use this wonderful learning resource)




The child can choose to spend 30 minutes to do the assessment exercises on the weekends at a time instead of busy weekdays too.

When approaching the exam period, the child will spend time to do revision for all subjects as much as possible, and there is not enough time. At this time, you can make good use of the resources of My exam.

It has a countdown timer that trains the child to complete the exam at a specific time.



After submitting, you can view the results and the answers in My Progress

This saves you the time to go through the answers at the back of the exam assignments one by one yourself.

In this way, the child is already mentally prepared to know which part she needs to strengthen and review, and she can spend more time on the chapter that she is not confident with.

So the vschool system is no longer just a platform for children to 'learn' (they learn from teachers and even tuition center), but a platform for children to evaluate their own learning, use its resources to enhance focused learning, and spend time to do revision on the weakest area. There is no need to spend extra money to buy additional homework or test questions by yourself, because these exercises question in Vschool trend are provided by more than 200+ senior local teachers according to the government syllabus.

The child may have enough practice in tuition center for the subject like Math. So the child just need to  take some time to do exam question to find out the area/chapter that needs to be strengthened. The child can practice more for the weaker chapter (go back to MyLearning). Math even has a solution for step by step.

Soon or later the child will have more confidence in learning after seeing the results, and will definitely fall in love with independent learning, provided we take the time to guide them first.  The child will get better results by spending less effort if the child reviewing and doing exercises in a targeted manner, if you make good use of this system,

I highly recommend this system. Because I think my studies would be smoother if I had this system in middle school. This is the reason why I so recommended it to the moms that have children in middle school.

育儿 | 好康 | 如何利用Vschool Trend 资源来引导小孩自主学习 Self-Learning

迈入中学的小孩会开始感到考试的压力存在。身为父母的我们能做的就是引导小孩怎样更精准地学习,省时省力。

Vschool trend的笔记功能。每个科目每个单元都有重点摘要,像Sejarah/Geography这样的科目可以考虑将那个星期学习的单元打印出来给孩子带去学校。孩子上课时直接听老师讲解,在笔记上加入方便她记忆的重点。因为课文冗长,它的笔记能间接让小孩知道怎样抓重点。







当天回家后可以让小孩花10分钟做一个单元练习,instant marking 可以让小孩直接知道答案对错,马上学习起来(比起花时间做参考作业更省时有效)。


从My progress中可以知道她对课文了解程度,可以大约知道她的弱点。及格过关单元就不需花时间再做,不及格单元就可以去详细了解小孩哪里卡住了,适时地帮助她。(日后当她知道该怎么利用这资源时,我们就能松一口气了)


如果周日太忙碌,可以一次过在周末花个30分钟做评估练习就够了。

接近考试期间,孩子会花时间尽量复习所有科目,时间不够用。这时候就可以善用My exam 的资源。



它有倒数计时器,可以训练孩子在特定时间完成考试。



Submit后可以在Myprogress查看成绩以及里面的答案



这里已经省下花时间自己一个一个查阅考试作业后面的答案。

这样小孩已经有个心理准备知道哪个部分她需要加强复习,找回那个单元即可。

所以这个vschool系统已经不只是让小孩‘学习’的地方(他们从老师、甚至补习班中学习),而是让小孩评估自己学习成果的地方,利用它的资源加强重点学习,花时间复习在需要加强的部分。也不必多花钱买额外其他作业或考试题自己做,因为这些习题是本地200+多位资深老师根据政府纲要出题的。

像数学科目,补习班也许习题做足了,只要考试前花时间做一个测试,就知道哪个部分需要加强学习,多做那个较弱单元的习题(回去MyLearning)。数学甚至有给step by step的solution。

我想小孩学习看到成果会更有信心,一定可以会爱上自主学习,前提是我们要先花时间引导她。比起盲目复习所有科目或做所有的练习题,善用这套系统的话,针对性复习和做练习,学习会事半功倍 :P

我很推荐这套系统,因为我想如果我中学时代有这套系统,也许课业上更一帆风顺,所以我知道有上中学小孩的妈妈,都会大力推荐给她们的。哈哈哈。
