Brain Child Award Winner
Chinese for Kids Set 1 is a motivating set of first readers for children ages 3-8 who are beginning to learn Chinese. Developed with teachers, the Spot Color Immersion Method combines simple sentences, humor, visual cues, repetition and context in just one line of text per page to help beginners learn vocabulary. Children soon read each page by themselves until they proudly finish their first little book in Chinese, then all 10, an achievement that builds confidence and motivates them to continue learning. Kids learn the correct pronunciation by listening to the online audio by a native speaker. Set 1 features:

• 10 easy Chinese readers, each 16 pages with a simple storyline
• One line of text per page in pinyin with Traditional Chinese characters (Simplified variants incl.)
• English translation at the back
