Chinese for kids Chinese Play and Learn series features Hop Into Reading! Chinese Hop Into Reading is a newly added resource. They are for Chinese emergent readers and early readers.
We have heard about how a text-rich home can help children’s literacy skills. This text-rich home is the same as a print-rich environment and a literacy-rich household.
The setup of a target language (Chinese) text-rich home is crucial. The visual display of Chinese language with pinyin and English is a good start.
For non-Chinese speaking families pinyin is a tool to help with pronunciation. It is also important to know that native Chinese speaking children learn pinyin (China) or zhuyin (Taiwan) when they first start to learn how to read Chinese.
Chinese flashcards with pictures are good visual learning resources for Chinese learners at all ages. Chinese word wall is a great visual display.
Engaging worksheets, printable sheets, coloring pages, mini books, and quality children’s books are all good sources to enhance your language-rich and text-rich home.
