They get an hour of English a day, during which time they learn to read and write English. For kids coming from English speaking homes this seems to work pretty well. It does take them a few years to be reading at the same level in English as their peers are, but the flip side is that they can also read in Chinese.
All the children are fluent in English, whatever language they speak at home.
