Author Description

This book, "My Fun Chinese Book: Animals Level 1" includes 36 DailyDumpling(tm) FUN-Sheets--discrete projects that cover the 12 Chinese zodiac animals. We utilize American-style games like dot-to-dot, matching, pattern recognition, and coloring along with 3D paper crafts to make simplified Chinese characters familiar. Paper crafts, for example, are highlighted by each animal's name in Chinese characters. By showcasing Chinese in context, young learners readily recognize Chinese characters over time.Page-per-day DailyDumpling(tm) projects cultivate kids' problem solving, fine-motor skills, pattern recognition, and persistence. Daily progress can be tracked on our star chart; completing each book culminates with a certificate of achievement. To be comprehensive, we offer free videos at DailyNoodles.com/workbooks that help kids hear proper pronunciation of all the featured vocabulary words from each book. The progressive nature of our DailyDumpling(tm) FUN-Sheets and FUN-Books builds your child's confidence learning Chinese.We want kids to 'noodle' in Chinese every day and extend kids' language learning beyond the classroom.
