Japanese/English Primary School Reader Series Level 1: Plastic’s Journey – Hiragana Only

Description

With online audio.

Follow the journey of a plastic bag as it unfortunately floats past, through and into nature. This story exposes young primary-aged readers to both hiragana and kanji words for nature in a story that will encourage discussion about the environment, recycling and plastic use.

With free access to a bilingual audio book and hiragana chart bookmark, this 16 page picture book has been written for primary aged beginners of Japanese, (ideally Foundation to Year 2 Strand of the Australian Curriculum but can also be used for beginners in Year 3 and 4).

Each colourful page is presented in hiragana only until the end of the story. Once the story is complete, there are easily identifiable white pages with the English meaning, clearly linked to the matching kanji page number, so that children are able to refer to this page when they are unsure of meaning as they go.

The book is generously sized at 20.6cm by 20.6 cm making it easy to hold and images and words clear and easy to see. Printed locally in Australia on quality paper, this book has been made to last in a classroom, library or home with long term use in mind.
