Familogue 語你童行
Empowering parents and children to communicate and grow together through their mother tongue
About Us
The parent-child relationship is like the child's wings, and the mother tongue is like the wind under the wings, allowing the child to fly higher and farther.
We are a group of experienced educators from Hong Kong and moms who just immigrated to Vancouver, Canada. We aim to use our expertise to help parents and children systematically develop other skills using their mother tongue abilities at home. In familiar contexts, parents and children can communicate more effectively, and grow together. Therefore, we established "Familogue" in 2022, a registered non-profit organization in British Columbia.
Our Services
Interactive Chinese Literacy Class
These levelled literacy classes use a spiral reading approach to help children gradually build character recognition while enjoying Chinese learning. Engaging picture books and interactive activities enhance formal reading skills and foster independent reading habits.
Books Go Around
We run regular “book floating” exchanges, allowing children to trade one book for another. Parents can also support us by donating and receiving a children’s book. All proceeds support the promotion and preservation of the mother tongue.
Speech Therapy (Individual & Group)
peech-language pathologist, with over 20 years of experience in Hong Kong, now offers services at our centre. Based on a free Cantonese literacy assessment led by a PhD in education, therapy goals and plans are developed in collaboration with parents.
Clinical Counselling Services
Our services are provided by a BC-registered clinical counsellor (formerly a social worker in Hong Kong). We offer support in emotional regulation, family dynamics, stress and trauma recovery—in Cantonese, English, and Mandarin. Subsidies are available for individuals without insurance or financial resources.
Cantonese Book Set Purchasing
In partnership with Hong Kong’s Ching Tin Education Centre and Cotton Tree Publishing, we assist parents in ordering children’s books and readers from Hong Kong. We also offer teaching kits aligned with the I Can Read on My Own levelled series, including illustrated vocabulary cards, guides, and parent-child materials.
