New Chinese for Children is a series of elementary textbooks specifically designed to teach Chinese to English speaking children. The series is comprised of three books. Book 1 is aimed at teaching children Chinese pronunciation; Books 2 and 3 place more emphasis on basic sentence patterns. After completing this series children will command a vocabulary of over 300 words and will be able to communicate in Chinese in day to day situations. Each book is accompanied by an audio MP3 of the texts spoken in standard putonghua.
