Learning how to learn is one of the core competencies in 21st century education, and learning how to learn Chinese is particularly important as it is a second language for many Singaporean children. In short, independent learning skills are the foundation to learning Chinese. These include word recognition and comprehension skills, which form the basis for reading. The speaker will share independent reading strategies, including one-second word recognition, one-minute comprehension reading and ‘year-long’ reading strategies. These have been developed based on A/P Aw’s years of research and experience. In addition, she will be introducing the latest technological tools to enhance independent reading in children.
