★Why This Course: 

⭐︎Leveled Books for Beginner Chinese Learners

Differ from regular Chinese picture books, leveled books help young language learners grow confidence in reading with visually   appealing illustrations to help children decode, larger font, simple sentence structures, high frequency words and repetition to teach children to read and speak even before they realize it. All books included in this course are written and illustrated by Ms.Han to ensure the highest quality. Please watch the course intro video for a preview of the books.

★How Does it Work

Each week students will receive one pre-recorded video lesson focusing on one leveled book. The video includes: read aloud, vocabulary study, sentences study and interactive games for students to practice what they learn.
