What Is a Basal Reading Program?
A basal reading program is a core reading program that is used to teach children to read. The basal reading program acts as the basis for the lessons that teach children reading skills. The Basal reading program is a well-known concept in English learning. And it is a very successful approach to language learning.
We have bought the concept forward to teach young Chinese language learners to read Chinese. It was so successful that led us to design and develop the Chinese 1-2-Tree product which started with basal reading series.
Chinese 1-2-Tree basal series comes with individual identical books for students, a lesson plan, and a collection of worksheets/activities, and assessments. They are used to teach foundation reading and associated skills to schoolchildren. We recommend a basal reading program as it can be much beneficial for young learners in reading and understanding. They are practical and easy to implement in the classroom.
Chinese 1-2-Tree basal series covers all aspects of reading learning (Chinese character awareness, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, assessments, and activities) in a systemic, explicit, and comprehensive way. They are intended to teach children to read at or above grade-level expectations and give them all the skills they need to make reading progress.
Our basal readers provide a base for teachers to use. Teachers are encouraged to supplement the core reading program with other texts and activities. Our basal readers bare little resemblance to the dry, repetitive texts that are common in Chinese textbooks. They include interesting and relevant stories, challenging vocabulary words, and learning instruction.
