欢迎新同学 (Welcome New Students!)

We have several students new to Iles this year. Please use the review list posted on this page to the left to help your child get caught up in Chinese. The review list has a link that will take you to an online dictionary that is able to demonstrate the correct pronunciation for you. Press on the sound icon to hear the word pronounced. I will be sending more information home to help you help your child learn their Chinese.
