15 Jan 2014 - 100 common english words

Jerlene brought back a paper with list of 100 English common words and said her teacher used it to assess the student's vocabulary level in the class.  She and some of her classmates can read all the words but there are some who had difficulties.  She said there is one student who can only read one of the 100 words and the word is "I".  I think there is really a difference between a kid who attended childcare and one who doesn't.  So far, all her spellings and 听写 are words that she had learnt in her childcare class previously.  And when they started learning 汉语拼音 during her mother tongue class, Jerlene already knew most of it.

When I showed Javier the 100 words, he can actually read out at least 10 of those words.  Seems like the childcare has been doing a good job.  :-)
