Straight from the syllabus
Every character and word comes from the KSSR Primary 1 textbook lists. Play to the end and your child has met every reading and writing target in the syllabus.
Jom Yu Long · Primary 1 Chinese
Your child learns to read and write Primary 1 Chinese by playing.
571 characters to read, 282 to write, every one from the KSSR syllabus. Xiao Long the dragon turns the whole Primary 1 list into an adventure.
It plays like a game and teaches like a teacher. Senior Chinese teachers built every level, so your child is learning the moment they start playing.

Unit 1 begins
Walk to school with Xiao Long
Turn the sound on and set off from the hilltop with Xiao Long.
Serious Chinese, learned by playing
A game on the surface. The full Primary 1 syllabus underneath.
As your child plays, every level moves them through the four skills Primary 1 is built on: listening, reading, recognising and writing. These numbers are everything the syllabus asks for.

Play is the lesson, not the reward
Clearing a level moves your child forward on the syllabus, not away from it. Bye bye dull rote drilling.
Built by senior Chinese teachers
They built every unit around the way children actually learn, so each character is taught, practised and mastered, not just seen once.
How Unit 1 works
Listen first. Then read. Then write.
Every level is a small adventure with Xiao Long: hear a story, meet new words, clear the challenge. All four skills that matter most in Primary 1 are built into the play itself.
Example / Write
写一写
xiě yī xiě
Learn the strokes, then practise writing each character in the right stroke order.
一 · 十 · 天 · 太 · 阳 · 上
Single strokes grow into whole characters.
Inside a writing level
Write 阳
yáng · sun
阳
Watch the stroke order, then practise writing it in a big grid, with guidance.
横 héng竖 shù撇 piě捺 nà点 diǎn
What's in Unit 1
The words and characters are hidden inside the story.
From the hilltop down to the school gate, the classroom and the playground, seven story stops weave in the four essential language skills. By the end, your child has learnt nineteen new words.
