There are 36 books that may be used in any order based upon the lesson plans of the teachers and\/or parents. The recommendation is to teach one book for each school week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The series is suitable for about 32 weeks (one academic year). In the majority of learning environments, students are given no more than two sessions every week. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to finish one storybook within three weeks along with some cultural learning and activities. The learning objectives and goals will dictate how long teachers and parents should use the series. However, it\u2019s recommended to be used at least two academic years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 &#8211; <a href=ref%3das_li_qf_sp_asin_tlc0ac.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">My First Chinese Reader<\/a>\uff08\u5feb\u4e50\u513f\u7ae5\u534e\u8bed) \u2013 This is the best available curriculum for elementary students to learn the Chinese language. It\u2019s especially designed for children who live in non-Chinese speaking communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The books have an ascending lesson structure that uses the previous material so children can naturally learn the Chinese language \u2013 similar to what they\u2019d see and experience in a native setting.

Youngsters can learn basic Chinese sentences for their everyday environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3 &#8211; <a href=ref%3das_li_qf_sp_sr_tlacb2.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Discovering Chinese<\/a>\uff08\u5947\u5999\u4e2d\u6587) \u2013 This book is geared toward those students in the sixth to 12th grade, helping them to attain the SAT II Chinese level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With it, students attain the fundamentals of Chinese in a cultural perspective. Using an organized methodology with a strict foreign language teaching, the book ensures there are positive results in an enjoyable, interactive learning atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4 &#8211; <a href=index-1177.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Magic Tour of China<\/a>\uff08\u5947\u5999\u4e2d\u56fd\u6e38\uff09- This book is geared toward students in the sixth to 12th grades, ensuring they reach their AP requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This also uses an ascending approach so students can look over previous lessons while they continue to go through series\u2019 volumes. (Students who have mastered the Discovering Chinese and\/or My First Chinese Reader series can transition smoothly into this book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with every story lesson, students can continue to advance their communication skills and cultural awareness through historical and literary comparisons using:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Chinese classics excerpts<\/li><li>Poems<\/li><li>Newspapers<\/li><li>Road signs<\/li><li>Radio clippings<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The textbooks can be found in over 200 American schools and used in the states of Georgia, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Idaho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5 &#8211; <a href=index-1178.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&lt;\u5b9e\u7528\u534e\u8bed&gt;\uff08sh\u00ed y\u00f3ng hu\u00e1 y\u01d4)<\/a> \u2013 Wuyun Zang, a Chinese teacher originally from Taiwan, edited the textbook series geared toward preschoolers to 12th grade. Although written by the Taiwan native, it includes pinyun, simplified version and conventional version. Mainland China uses simplified characters and, in Taiwan, traditional characters are used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of the above textbooks were developed by Better Chinese, which also supplies a number of Internet resources.
