Publisher’s Description: Chinese for Preschool Children
Children begin to develop an interest in recognizing characters when they are 4-5 years old. They like to read and trace different languages symbols. It is a good opportunity for adults to help children learn the vocabularies. For this purpose, this set of learning materials is compiled.
Based on children’s development and needs, this set selected those Chinese characters that are closely related to children’s everyday life, along with pictures, interesting poems, and large characters that children can color on. It helps children recognize the form of character; understand its meaning and structure while reading and tracing the characters.

By the end of the course, students will have a strong foundation in Chinese, mastering over 2,150 words and 300 essential sentences.
