Suitable for Cantonese native-speaking young children with no prior experience in reading or writing Chinese.啟蒙班共有三個級別，第一級適合3 歲以上，以廣東話為母語但未有識字經驗的幼兒。啟蒙班主要透過繪本故事、遊戲及兒歌加強小朋友廣東話口語能力，並由獨體字開始認識基本中文字，鞏固幼兒的認讀基礎，在教授過程中認識筆順，並培養小朋友學習中文的興趣。於第一級累積一定的單詞後，第二級除了繼續教授基本中文字外，學童開始能朗讀老師設計的句子，讓學生在學習新知識的同時能重溫以往所學並應用於其他閱讀中。第三級則開始建立閱讀短詩及短文章的能力，幫助小朋友消除面對不同中文字時的恐懼，能有自信地自行理解老師安排的文章。每節課堂都會有堂課及功課，讓家長能跟進小孩所學，增加學習成效。
The Beginner Class has three levels. Level 1 is suitable for children aged 3 and above whose native language is Cantonese but have no reading experience.

It introduces basic Chinese characters starting with single-character words, consolidating the foundation of children's character recognition, teaching stroke order during the process, and cultivating children’s interest in learning Chinese. After accumulating a certain number of words in Level 1, Level 2 continues to teach basic Chinese characters while students begin to read sentences designed by the teacher. This allows students to review what they have learned while applying it to other readings. In Level 3, students start to develop the ability to read short poems and short passages, helping children overcome their fear of encountering unfamiliar characters, and gain the confidence to independently comprehend the texts arranged by their teacher. Each lesson includes both in-class practice and homework, enabling parents to monitor their child's progress and enhance learning effectiveness. -

在英國教授中文，首個也是最大的挑戰，就是市面上幾乎找不到一套真正適合海外兒童學習「廣東話＋繁體字」的教材。我們發現，坊間許多中文教室使用的教材大多以普通話及簡體字為主，不但與香港家庭的語言習慣不符，內容亦往往過於刻板沉悶、與海外兒童的生活經驗脫節，難以激發他們的學習興趣。
正因如此，Kristy 老師 決定親自設計及編寫一套適合海外兒童的廣東話中文教材，從字詞啟蒙開始，一步步銜接至閱讀理解、創意寫作，涵蓋程度由學前到 GCSE，建立一個完整、有系統的學習階梯。
我們的教材特色包括：
分齡分級設計：按不同年齡與語文程度精心編排，從3歲啟蒙階段到12歲以上進階閱讀與寫作，讓學習自然漸進。
融合海外生活背景：內容緊扣英國及其他海外地區華人家庭小朋友的日常經驗，例如：學校生活、節日文化、家庭活動等，幫助孩子在熟悉的情境中學習與應用中文。
注重語文應用與思維發展：不單止識字與背誦，更重視理解、表達與創作能力，為日後升讀中文 GCSE 打好基礎。
趣味互動元素：配合插圖故事、角色扮演、遊戲學習、主題閱讀等方式，提升孩子的參與感與語感。
我們堅信，學習中文絕不能只是「記生字」或「寫句子」，而應該是一趟有趣、有意義的文化旅程。小獅子的教材不單止幫助孩子累積語文知識，更重要的是讓他們建立信心，享受用中文表達的快樂，從而培養出長遠的語文能力與文化歸屬感。

一套專為海外學童而設的中文學習教材
Using Our Self-Designed Learning Materials Tailored for Overseas Children to Learn Cantonese and Traditional Chinese
When it comes to teaching Chinese in the UK, the very first — and perhaps the greatest — challenge is the lack of suitable learning materials for overseas children learning Cantonese with Traditional Chinese characters. We found that many Chinese language schools rely on materials that are primarily designed for Mandarin learners using Simplified Chinese. These resources often do not align with the language background of Hong Kong families, and are typically too rigid, outdated, and disconnected from the everyday experiences of children growing up overseas — making it difficult to spark their interest in learning.
This is precisely why Miss Kristy took it upon herself to personally design and develop a unique curriculum tailored specifically for overseas Cantonese-speaking children. Starting from basic word recognition, her curriculum gradually progresses through reading comprehension and creative writing, covering levels from preschool all the way to GCSE. It forms a complete and systematic learning pathway that supports learners every step of the way.
Key Features of Our Curriculum:
Age-Appropriate & Level-Based Design
Our materials are carefully structured according to age and language proficiency, ranging from early learning for 3-year-olds to advanced reading and writing for children aged 12 and above — allowing for natural and progressive development.Integration of Real-Life Overseas Contexts
The content is closely connected to the daily lives of children from Chinese families living in the UK and other parts of the world — including school life, festivals, family routines, and more — enabling children to learn and apply Chinese in familiar, relatable situations.Focus on Practical Use and Cognitive Development
We go beyond rote memorisation and character drills. Our curriculum nurtures deeper skills like comprehension, expression, and creative thinking, laying a solid foundation for future studies, including Chinese GCSE.Fun & Interactive Learning Elements
Our lessons incorporate illustrated stories, role play, learning games, and themed reading activities to make learning fun, engaging, and emotionally resonant for young learners.
We firmly believe that learning Chinese should never be just about “memorising characters” or “copying sentences.” It should be a joyful, meaningful cultural journey. At Cubbies Chinese Learning Centre, our custom-designed materials not only help children build a strong base in language skills, but also nurture their confidence and love for expression in Chinese — cultivating long-term fluency and a strong sense of cultural identity.
