Join Our Monthly Chinese Children’s Book Reading Challenge – Fun Mandarin Reading Activities for Kids
Are you looking for a fun and easy-prep way to help your child build stronger Chinese reading habits? Whether you’re a Chinese teacher or a parent raising bilingual kids, our Monthly Chinese Children’s Book Reading Challenge is a simple, engaging way to get young learners excited about reading Mandarin Chinese books—at home or in your classroom!
Why Join the Chinese Book Reading Challenge?
We know how challenging it can be to encourage children to read more Chinese picture books, especially when they’re surrounded by English every day. That’s why we created this monthly reading challenge—to make Chinese reading fun, visual, and rewarding!
You will find a printable reading tracker for each month. Kids can write down the title of each book they finish and color a cute image to track their progress. This not only builds their reading habit but also motivates them with a sense of accomplishment.
Who Is This Challenge For?
Parents looking for Chinese literacy activities at home
Teachers in Chinese immersion programs or Mandarin language classrooms
Homeschooling families using Mandarin Chinese curriculum
Anyone who wants their kids to read more Chinese books
Where Can You Find Chinese Books?
If you don’t have access to a Chinese bookstore, don’t worry! Here are some great options:
Local Library: Many libraries have a growing collection of Chinese children’s books—just ask your librarian!
Online Read-Alouds: Search YouTube for Mandarin book read-alouds to pair with your challenge. Some channels we love are 亲子阅读ReadForKid, 非讀BOOK, and IDOL Mandarin Chinese Kids Audiobooks.
Chinese bookshops online: Some of our favorite sites to get Chinese books are Temu, China Sprout, Books Taiwan, and Yo! Baby Shop
