This set of Chinese books has the same concept as “Peter and Jane” where words are being repeated to enhance the vocabulary. The books come with flash cards and an optional CD (good for parents who do not know Chinese).
These books are categorized into several series:
First 100 words – 8 books
Second 100 words – 8 books
Third 100 words – 4 books
Forth 100 words – 4 books
Fifth 100 words – 2 books
Sixth 100 words – 2 books
Seventh 100 words – 2 books
Eighth 100 words – 2 books
What I normally do is to go through the books once with my son and teach him the new words using “han yu pin yin” (pronunciation of the word using English alphabets). Then, I would have him read to me again covering the “han yu pin yin”. What I notice in many children is the ability to memorize words. They can read to you the whole page without even looking at the book! When that happened, we know that they can’t recognize words.
So, the flash cards come in handy to help or test the children to recognize words. There are several fun ways to use the flash cards. All we need is a little creativity to turn learning into games.
Check out fun ways to use flash cards in my upcoming posts.

I have been wanting to teach my son Chinese too. There was supposed to be a good program coming on that had some Chinese language incorporated in it but I have yet to find it. Books and flashcards are a good idea.
i dont really know how to read chinese characters and han yu pin yin doesnt work well for me, cause i might pronounce wrongly.etc..
thats why got Bao Bei..hehe..
i was looking thru some chinese story books, etc.. the other day,but i didnt buy any cause dont understand those books. but i did ask for manners, and found 1 set a simple reading one, but suddenly taken by a malay lady pulak!
Though I am not young, I like readings this kind of books very much. Even in my blog, i like to post up meaningful articles and short story, and something interesting.
