Review of Chinese Made Easy for Kids 1 |

I recently bought from Childbook the textbook and workbook for Chinese Made Easy for Kids. My husband and I are Chinese-speakers and I teach Chinese at college level, so we thought we could teach our kids to read and write in Chinese easily. However, we soon realized that there are not that many good textbooks to teach Chinese to children. With Chinese Made Easy for Kids we finally found an easy and entertaining book to teach written Chinese to our four year old (he speaks Chinese but does not write characters yet). Other Chinese books published for the Chinese community in the US (the ones we used with our older child) tend to be a little bit boring, with black and white pages, no or minimal illustrations and based on old Chinese rhymes that introduce vocabulary that may not be useful for early learners. Chinese Made Easy for Kids is the opposite. Each lesson introduces useful vocabulary (both in characters and pinyin) kids can use right away (i.e. starting with the child's immediate surroundings--family, home, school etc.). The textbook has fun, colorful illustrations, and the workbook is full of entertaining and creative activities. This book is a great way to introduce your child to Chinese. It comes with a CD so, if you do not speak Chinese at home, your child (and you) can still mimic the sounds and learn how to speak the language. I would rate this book with 5 stars

The accompanying CD is great for hear ing pronunciation. I find myself repeating phrases in my head that I can't necessarily translate, which is a more natural way of learning than translating first. My 5.5 year old daughter really likes to listen to the CD and follow along with the rythmic "songs/poems."

I am co-teaching an introductory Mandarin class for a group of 6 6-9 year-olds, using pinyin as the major written form of the language. "Chinese Made Easy" was written for those learning characters, and it does a wonderful job. We are now starting our second year of the class (we meet once a week during the school year), and we are planning to use this text to begin to introduce Chinese characters. I believe it will be perfect for the age group.
