My First Chinese Reading Books – Set 2 – 13-24 book

Reading plays a pivotal role in the language acquisition journey of young Chinese learners. The initial step in the reading journey for young Chinese learners involves familiarizing them with words they encounter in their daily lives. This approach leverages visual aids such as pictures and pinyin (phonetic transcription) to scaffold their understanding and facilitate word recognition. By associating characters with familiar objects or concepts, children develop a sense of confidence and familiarity with the written language.
