This Teacher's Guide is the companion book for My First Chinese Reader, which is a set of textbooks specially designed for children of non-native Chinese families and those living in non-Chinese speaking communities. We recommend this book as one of the best series we have seen in this genre. Volume 1 contains 16 lessons with the following components: a comprehensive selection of characters and sentence patterns; highly relevant scenerios covering school, family, daily life, sports, etc., and a stroke-by-stroke approach to writing Chinese characters. Illustrated with colorful pictures, Simplified Chinese Characters (also Traditional Character and English Version) and Pinyin, this book introduces young readers to basic Chinese sentences in a daily living environment. Please note this book is in Chinese only. For ages 7 and up. Workbooks and Teacher's manual are also available.
