📘 Read the Getting Started To-Do List
(Applicable age: 2 years old ~ elementary school students, also suitable for non-native speaking families / families with no children)
✅ Step 1: Develop a habit of reading every day
-
Read together at a fixed time (e.g. after breakfast/before bed/before lunch)
-
Read only 1-2 Lele Primary Books (Red Books) each time
-
No need for tests or pronunciation correction, just listen to stories with him.
📌 Reminder: The goal at the beginning is not to teach children to recognize words, but to build their familiarity and love for Chinese books.
✅ Step 2: Enable the reading pen to create an immersive voice environment
-
It doesn't matter if your child can't read. Let him read the book and listen to the story.
-
Letting him "operate" the reading pen by himself every day is the key to building his self-learning ability
-
Encourage him to listen to his favorite story pages again, even if it’s the 100th time!
📌 Remember: The reading pen is not a tool, but a language playmate for children.
✅ Step 3: Repeat reading + story re-enactment
-
Guide children to reread familiar books (each book in the Lele Red Book series has a small amount of text, suitable for repeated reading)
-
You can try the "switch books and mix and match reading method": one book is about "bathing" and the other is about "eating", and you can read them in turn to create a new story.
-
Role-playing and telling stories with dolls can help children "export language"
📌 The point is not fast, but stable: The joy of reading + repeated input is the key to literacy!
✅ Step 4: Parents establish a sense of ritual for "speaking Chinese"
-
You can set aside a period of time to interact with your child in Chinese only (e.g. bedtime story time)
-
Even if you are not fluent in Chinese, you can still learn with the Lele Reading Pen
-
The most important language teacher for your child is actually you!
✅ Step 5: Continue + relax and look forward to it
-
Don't force yourself to recognize a few words in a few days, and don't set a reading volume goal
-
As long as you have contact and like it every day, it is the best starting point
-
Every page is a brick in the foundation of language
