Comprehension Training Series for Children ― New Edition

Comprehension Training Series for Children ― New Edition

Grasping the characteristics of objects, the basic structure of sentences, and the logical relationship of the plot is crucial for children who are about to enter the school-based reading and writing stage. Children aged 3 to 6 are in the golden period of learning. Appropriate language comprehension training methods not only allow children to experience the joy of reading early, but also promote the development of their communication skills. The speech therapist team of Heep Hong Society takes language comprehension as the topic, provides training strategies in the three aspects, namely "memory", "sentence comprehension" and "story comprehension", and designs fun activities of different levels to let parents consolidate their children's language comprehension skills, but also spend quality time together.

Vocabulary Learning Series -- Fun with Vocabulary Learning (for children aged 3-5) & Fun with Vocabulary Learning (for children aged 5-7)

Vocabulary Learning Series -- Fun with Vocabulary Learning (for children aged 3-5) & Fun with Vocabulary Learning (for children aged 5-7)

Vocabulary is essential in developing listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Generally speaking, a complete language system could be developed in the course of school learning and daily interactions. Nevertheless, if at the age of four, children exhibit the following signs of weakness in vocabulary learning: slow in picking up vocabulary; having limited vocabulary; over-generalization of vocabulary meaning; weak organization power of lexicon, failure of connecting lexicon in a systematic and logical manner; inefficient retrieval of lexicon; and weak in acquiring abstract expressions, parents might have to go to extra lengths to help them boost their vocabulary acquisition abilities. With this in view, Fun with Vocabulary Learning (for children aged 3-5) and Fun with Vocabulary Learning (for children aged 5-7) were published by the Speech Therapist Team of Heep Hong Society to help children strengthen their memory, knowledge, network and retrieval of lexicon through intriguing and progressive classification, odd-man out, convergent naming and divergent naming exercises. The book also throws light on developing creative home training to facilitate children’s language development. The Vocabulary Learning Series is sponsored by Po & Helen Chung Foundation. Buy Now
