READING IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS
One of the best ways parents can support bilingual fluency is to have engaging Chinese books at home at the right level for your student’s learning. Many families encounter these challenges in supporting their student’s Chinese immersion education:
  • Lack of an immersive Chinese environment in daily life
  • Student’s losing interest in using Chinese language as they get older
  • Life is too busy and finding ways to reinforce Chinese language learning at home is difficult

Great Books Help!

When it comes learning to read and write in Chinese, there is no substitute for practice, practice, practice! Hope has partnered with JoJo Learning because they have thousands of engaging Chinese books for students of all reading levels. While many books feature Chinese characters, some are bilingual in Chinese and English and some show pinyin pronunciation as well.

For families with limited or no Chinese language.

Reading with your students make a big difference. However, many families have limited Chinese language abilities or none at all. This is why JoJo Learning developed the Luka Reading Robot. Luka can read 70,000 Chinese books and also tell stories and sing songs. There are host of other features that are available with the companion app as well.

Need help with Chinese textbooks?

In higher grades, students must engage with longer texts and a more expansive vocabulary. The Youdao Dictionary Pen can scan a word or paragraph and translate Chinese to English. You can tap the characters on the screen to get definitions of words and more. This tool is also helpful for adults learning Chinese!
