The Tuttle Chinese for Kids Flash Cards (Simplified Character Edition) kit is an introductory language learning tool especially designed to help children from preschool through early elementary level acquire basic words, phrases, and sentences in Chinese in a fun and easy way.
The flashcards can be used as a learning tool in a classroom setting, at home, or anywhere that learning takes place. The set contains a total of 64 words, which all represent a range of sounds in Mandarin Chinese, organized into thematic categories, including: My Family, Colors, Numbers, Animals, Food, My Body, Clothes, and My Day. All of the words are illustrated—the pictures serve as effective visual aids to help children learn and remember each word's meaning. Words often reflect cultural objects and items and can be studied in any order. Learners may focus on one theme at a time or mix them up for a little more variety.
Also included in this kit is a downloadable audio CD which provides native pronunciation of the words, and sample sentences for practice, as well as songs and other activities. The kit also includes a wall chart featuring the front of each card and a learning guide for teachers and/or parents.
