Science Reference Books For SJKC

Recently someone asked this question in our Facebook Group. How do you teach your child Science in Chinese when you do not know Chinese? One way is through reference books especially one that is in a pictorial format. When teaching Science, we usually teach the kids the concepts in Chinese. Then we ask them to learn the basic and important vocabulary in Chinese. Pictorial reference books help a lot.

There are a couple of Science reference books by different publishers including Cemerlang, Gemilang and Malaya Press. These are all good publishers for local Malaysian educational books. Here we take a look at some of them.

We used to have a bilingual Math and Science Dictionary by Oxford Fajar and another bilingual Science reference book as well but we are not sharing them here because many bilingual books are no longer in print. What a pity.

Important Note: These pictorial reference books are useful to have but before you rush out to buy them, please take note that some SJKC have a compulsory/recommended buying list which include some of these. So do check with your school list so you don't end up with double. Also, if your child has a sibling who has bought one of these in the school list, remember to deselect the options when given the list so you don't end up buying the same book.

If you do not have these references, you can get them from Popular Book shops or online from Peekabook.
