Dear Parents,
The children had received their spelling books today. It was encouraging to see all of them so responsible, studying for their first Chinese spelling tests and getting good results as a result of their effort put in. Definitely parents play a great role in ensuring that their children are being supervised when preparing for such tests as well as their daily homework and revision. Your involvment in your child's learning years really make a difference.
Kindly sign on their spelling books and give them a high-Five for their effort put in. Please also remind them to return to Chen Laoshi the coming Monday.
As a reference, the marks allocation is as follows (use Chinese easier to explain :) ) :
1）每题10分，总分100分。如果一题有两个音节（如：wu1 ya1)，每个正确的音节得5分，而每个写错的音节则扣5分，比如说把wu1 ya1 写成 wa1 ya1, 一个音节写错了，就扣5分。
2）以每个音节来说，如把调号标错，就扣1分（如把第二声写成第三声，就扣一分）。
Please email me at tan_siow_hwee@nyps.edu.sg if you require further clarification.
Have a nice weekend!
Best regards,
Mdm Tan
