1. My First Chinese Words – K to lower Elementary

http://www.betterchinese.com/My-First-Chinese-Words.html

My First Chinese Words series is for the beginning young learner with no prior exposure to Chinese. This set of 36 size-appropriate storybooks is designed with the idea that young children learn best when the information given is relevant to their everyday lives, which makes learning fun and exciting. The stories contain meaningful sentence structures, teaching students to communicate in full sentences as opposed to have them memorize individual characters. The series also use overlapping content and a predictable narrative structure to provide a springboard for creative role-playing and acting. This gives children the opportunity to quickly apply what they learn in real-life situations as well as start communicating in Chinese right away.

ATI Program

In the ATI program, children learn along with their parents through a unit study approach to education. This approach increases the motivation of children as they are part of a “learning team,” rather than studying on their own. Sons and daughters of varying ages become a learning team as they study the same concepts together in theWisdom Booklets, and then broaden their learning to different levels through individual projects chosen from the Parent Guide Planners.

The unit study approach is a proven, highly effective method of learning. The Wisdom Booklet curriculum focuses on Biblical concepts and themes to which all academic disciplines relate. Picture a wheel with Scripture at the hub and each academic subject (linguistics, history, law, science, and medicine) running like spokes from hub to rim. Each subject is understood in balance by its relationship to the hub of Scripture. Through this method, comprehension and long-term retention are heightened, because subjects are related to one another around a central theme of learning.
