This series of textbooks are specially designed for Chinese language classes where the Total Physical Response Storytelling method is used. The four language skills are all reinforced through the story telling activities. The written form of the Chinese language is also introduced at an early stage, but is done so in accordance with the natural development of the learning process, from simple to complex. Each book in the series will take approximately 100 hours of instructional time. There will be a series of teachers' reference books, which will include guidelines for using the books effectively and suggestions of learning activities. An audio CD is included for each book.
