Flying with Chinese, Grade 1A Student Book

The Flying with Chinese student book offers age-appropriate fun with age-appropriate Chinese language learning strategies.

Textbook lessons are centered around brightly illustrated stories that are specially written to appeal to young readers. Each story introduces engaging characters depicted in universal contexts. For example, students can follow Sun Wukong (the Monkey King) as he visits his new friend Lily, or brushes his teeth.

A new hanzi is introduced in each lesson for a total of 30 characters each year in grades K–1. Song lyrics, an “I Can Do These Things” section at the end of each lesson, and Total Physical Response activities provide an interactive and interwoven learning environment for young learners.

In simplified characters.

Note: Pinyin is not used in these early books, as many students are still learning their basic ABCs at this stage in development.
