My First Chinese Readers' is a set of textbooks specially designed for children of non-native Chinese families and those living in non-Chinese speaking communities. We recommend this book as one of the best series in this genre. Volume 1 contains 16 lessons: a comprehensive selection of characters and sentence patterns; highly relevant scenarios covering school, family, daily life, sports, etc.; and a stroke-by-stroke approach to writing Chinese characters. Illustrated with simplified or traditional Chinese characters, Pinyin, and colorful pictures, this book introduces little readers to basic Chinese sentences in a daily living environment. There are also sections on Vocabulary, Drills, and Reading and Writing at the end of each lesson, along with English translations for each vocabulary word and sentence. For ages 7 and up. Audio CD, Workbooks and Teacher's manual are also available.
