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, families 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 2a(Textbook) in the series, with
altogether 7 lessons encompassing such topics as brothers and sisters,
friends, colors and hobbies, etc. It can be used in the first semester
of Year 2 at primary school.
