Japanese/English Primary School Reader Series Level 2: Ocean, Ocean, How Are You? – Bilingual Version

Description

With online audio.

How does the ocean feel? This story explores the different ‘feelings’ of the ocean, around the question, ‘Ogenki desu ka?’ (How are you?)

Combining sustainability and the environment, children can reflect on why the ocean feels this way and then begin using the key vocabulary to describe their own emotions in Japanese.

With free access to a bilingual audio book and hiragana chart bookmark, this 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 firstly presented in hiragana only. Once the page is turned, children can then see the same page with both the English meaning and also each hiragana character decoded in romaji above, so that readers are able to check on the accuracy of their hiragana reading 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.
