Easy Steps to Chinese for Kids is
a series of Chinese textbooks specifically designed for kids from
non-Chinese backgrounds. It covers four levels, each of which is made up
of two volumes: a and b (each with a CD). This series has four
characters in it, namely Ding Yi, Tian Li, Jingjing and Lele, who are
primary school students from China and abroad. Beautifully designed
illustrations, simple sentences and dialogues and lovely songs among
other means are adopted to develop the kids’ interest in learning
Chinese and help them lay a solid Chinese foundation by mastering such
fundamental Chinese knowledge as numbers, basic strokes,
self-introduction and daily expressions. Chinese culture is introduced
on the last two pages of each volume together with some color stickers
for practice. Each volume comes with a CD with all the lessons and songs
on it.
This is Volume 1a in the series, with altogether 7 lessons
encompassing such topics as numbers, greetings, names, ages and
classes, etc. It can be used in the first semester of Year 1 at primary
school.
