My First Chinese Storybooks is a series of Chinese and English Bilingual picture books that have been primarily designed as educational readers for English speakers of different age groups who are learning Chinese.
The animal stories have been added to this series because animals have always been loved by children. The author, an experienced teacher, selected these stories from Chinese fables and idioms and adapted them for young learners of Chinese as a fresh way of learning through reading.
The appendices at the end of each book pinpoint key words and sentences, and include questions based on the stories for parents and teachers to use in engaging children in interactive activities.
本系列适合 5-11 岁的华裔儿童,以及汉语非母语的海外儿童在老师、父母指导下阅读。由在英国生活多年的汉语资深教师编写。每册书有一两个有趣的主题或汉语常用句型,以不断复现的形式,达到认识汉字、练习表达的目的。
