same as my son, before I focus on the chinese reading, I ordered lots of chinese story books from DANGDANG website,I read the chinese story to him every day since he was two.

My son is in the JK now, I found that he is not interested in english reading few months ago. I relize that I might be wrong. No matter chinese or english reading , the purpose of that is encourage kids to expand their knowlege. Since he has to finish the school in Canada not China, I will focus on the english reading, after he get the strong fundation on english then we could start the chinese study as the second language, might be grade 1 or 2.
My son is almost 5. He's now reading school age's books in English and really enjoys. He always says that Chinese is funny and he doesn't like to learn. I want to find a way to encourge him to learn Chinese.

According to your saying, we can wait until grade 2? I'm just worried if it's too late.
我小儿子也快5岁了,我前几天翻箱倒柜的找出了西游记的动画片和Finding Nemo的碟。他看了点西游记说不好看。看了Finding Nemo倒很喜欢,不过他问我:Mom, do you have an English Finding Nemo? I want to see English Finding Nemo. 我晕。。。

We have the DVDs in both English and Mandarin. But every time when we played it , my son just said 'English please'. By the way, we speak Cantonese at home. I think that it why it's hard for him to learn Chinese (Mandarin)
