Xiang Du Bao Graded Readers Series《享读宝》分级读本系列 is the first and only Chinese graded readers series supported by the Lee Kuan Yew Fund for Bilingualism. This series of graded readers are developed for children aged 5 to 10 by author and early childhood consultant Associate Professor Sin Joo Ee, Head of Master and Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (Chinese) Programmes in Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS).
To meet the need for a pedagogically strong literacy program suitable for our local Chinese Language learners, Dr Sin meticulously devised Xiang Du Bao which aims to nurture children’s genuine love for reading and foster fondness for the Chinese Language.
Learning Mother Tongue Language is not just about the mastery of a language. Didactic method to literacy focusing heavily on word list and repetitions does not encourage children to read. A prominent feature of Xiang Du Bao Graded Readers Series is its emphasis on aesthetics of Chinese literature which is infused in the unique writing style of the stories.
What’s in the series? The 48 Xiang Du Bao readers are graded across six reading levels, with 8 readers in each level in a sturdy storage box.
Each reading level is colour banded to guide progression through the kindergarten and primary levels. Xiang Du Bao Graded Readers Level 1 and 2 are recommended for kindergarteners of age 5 and 6, while Level 3 to 6 are suitable for school age of 7 to 10.
Educator or parent will be able to support children’s reading journey as they move up the reading levels at their own pace, nurture their genuine love for reading, build their treasure trove of words and foster fondness for the Chinese Language.
Each reader includes text with Hanyu Pinyin annotation, post-reading activities and word games to reinforce reading comprehension that makes learning to read fun.
