Is my child ready for this set?
"Read to me":
Ages 6+ will enjoy having these books read to them either by Luka® or a caregiver.

"Read by myself":
Although the texts are short, the vocabularies are expansive and not repetitive. There are also some scientific and technical terms. Children may be able to read this set independently if they know about 1000+ Chinese characters. It will definitely help build a beginner readers vocabulary.  

Option to pair with Luka®:
Consider adding Luka®, the reading robot, to your order. Luka® reads 70,000 books in Mandarin Chinese! ​
​
Set Luka® in front of the book, and it will read aloud any page your child turns to-- creating a unique, independent physical book reading experience even if your child isn't ready to read by themselves. Click to read our founders' personal review of Luka here.
