Mandarin for Kids Set 1: First 10 Chinese Reader Books with Online Audio and Pinyin: Beginner Learning Library for Ages 3-8 by Language Together
BEGINNER LEARNING SET: Many Chinese books for kids are too difficult for a beginner and kids get bored with workbooks. Language Together’s first readers spark excitement and are the perfect introduction to learning Mandarin for kids, preschoolers, kindergarteners, children of all ages and parents. Developed with teachers and curriculum experts, they feature foundational vocabulary woven into simple text with plenty of repetition, visual cues and humorous illustrations.
ONLINE AUDIO BY A NATIVE SPEAKER: Kids enjoy listening to the online audio with fun sound effects. They like to read along with the books and learn native speaker pronunciation. Conveniently listen online (no CD or DVD needed) or download the audio to your computer, tablet, or phone and your child can practice repeat reading anytime, anywhere.
SUPPORTS EARLY LANGUAGE LEARNING: Kids jump in and read page after page until they get to the fun, sweet ending of each little reader. Before they know it, they have finished all 10 readers and have learned 100 first words and beginning phrases.
KIDS LEARN CHINESE THROUGH IMMERSION: These Chinese bilingual books have Pinyin and Chinese characters (Simplified Chinese) on each page. This beginner friendly approach means that children see only Chinese on each page and don’t rely on English unless they need support. The English translation is provided at the back of each reader.
THE JOY OF EARLY SUCCESS: Language Together readers combine multiple strategies to simplify language learning and make the first steps achievable. When children finish their first book--then all 10--they earn a wonderful reward: the joy of early success!
