During the weekday mornings, I teach preschool and kindergarten students between the ages of 2 and 6. My preschool classes are learning their ABCs and simple words. My kinders are learning more complex words and simple sentences. Chinese generally don't use true pinyin (with tone markes), but I do see the romanized spellings (without tone markers)quite frequently. However, pinyin with tone markers is taught in kindergarten on up through grade school. At least in all the schools I have worked for. I really don't see it anywhere else.
