I Love To Write Volume 1

I Love to Write (Volumes 1-3) is an ideal first book for your child to learn how to read and write Chinese. This app is based on Dr. Luk Chiu Kwan Hungs all-time favorite series of the same name《我愛寫字》 Dr. Luk has designed these curriculum materials for her pre-school and kindergarten children. Tens of thousands of children have built their first Chinese vocabularies on this foundation.

Over 200 commonly used Chinese words and phrases have been carefully selected to equip the child with the vocabulary needed for her daily environment. As the child learns new words, she is guided to use the words she has learned to make simple phrases and simple sentences, thus gradually building up the child’s basic grammar and usage of the Chinese language.

Each Chinese word or phrase is illustrated with pictures, as we believe that children learn more effectively connecting words with pictures. Stroke order demonstration, standard pinyin, Mandarin voiceover, and extensive writing practices are provided for each lesson.

This app is equally effective and fun for learners of Chinese as a second language. The lessons are fully bilingual with complete English instructions and help files. Each Chinese word is paired with its corresponding English word and English voiceover. The child will learn faster while associating the Chinese character with its English meaning.
