Treasure Box Confident Reader simplified

從具體事物進階到抽象概念的100個字
The 100 characters that evolve from concrete to abstract concepts

完成信心級的小朋友最少能認讀400個漢字了。

然而，語文能力的提升有賴持續不懈的多讀、多想、多練習。明日的成功取決於今天下的苦功。

寶貝盒旨在以豐富的語文體裁和輕鬆的內容將小朋友的閱讀練習從苦差變成樂趣。這個階段的孩子除了閱讀能力的提升，他們的思考模式也開始突破具體實物的局限，而導向各種抽象的意識。同時，由於他們開始認識到現實世界的多種常規，因此能體會到反常事物帶來的幽默感和詼諧，亦自然地會喜歡透過歸納推理去進行猜謎語之類的遊戲。

信心級寶貝盒全情為小朋友在閱讀、理解、文學欣賞各方面給力，讓孩子成為一個信心十足的好學之人。

信心級寶貝盒共有5個故事，合共3001個字，建議的閱讀次序是：
吹牛大王 > 美猴王 > 張良 > 我來想一想 > 拇指姑娘

At this age, your child has achieved a lot more than a solid ability in reading – they also start to develop thinking in an abstract manner.

They also enjoy grouping and classifying objects and ideas, and love to solve riddles.

Confident Reader aims to boost your child’s abilities in reading, comprehension and appreciation of literature. It instils confidence in your child to become a life-long learner.

There are 5 stories in Confident Reader, with a total of 3001 characters. The stories are best to be read in the following order:

Overview of each story

吹牛大王
The Unbelieveables

吹牛大王應合這個年齡孩子的愛鬥咀、喜唱反調、能欣賞笑話等特點而編寫。透過對現實世界的刻意反寫，希望能刺激他們對事物的細微觀察。最後一段由小男孩講的話是故事的精要；孩子是否能透徹理解取決於他的認知能力發展，父母也許要給予一些協助。這個故事的語文運用比較活潑，同時亦鍛煉孩子的閱讀理解能力。

Children at this age love to talk back and to challenge others’ ideas. They also love jokes. The Unbelieveables caters to this development. With a series of descriptions which are the exact opposites of the real world, it triggers your child to pay attention to our world and their own. The Boy’s speech at the end of the book is the highlight of the story. Your child may need your assistance to fully comprehend it. This story is written in a playful way. It trains your child’s reading and comprehension.

美猴王
Monkey King

美猴王孫悟空的故事是中國四大名著之一。寶貝盒的版本務求在不失原著精神的前提下讓小朋友獨立閱讀。我們挑選的章節著重悟空的好學聰明、愛護家人、維護正義的積極個性；而他出神入化的本領亦很值得小朋友欽佩和嚮往。

The story of Monkey King is one of the four great Chinese classics. This Treasure Box adaptation allows your child to enjoy this story independently, while maintaining its original spirits. The part of the story we adapted focuses on the positive strengths of the Monkey King: he is clever, loves to learn, is protective of his family and is just. His magical and fighting power has fascinated children and adults alike through the ages.

張良
Zhang Liang

張良是著名的歷史人物，是漢朝的開國功臣。他不但聰明穩重，而且待人有禮，亦有誠信。對黃石公的多番考驗，他都能誠意地檢討自己，再努力作出改善，最終得到了寶貴的兵書，成就大業。小朋友只要以同樣的誠意每天練習閱讀，也一樣會獲得寶貴的回報。

Zhang Liang is a famous historical figure. He was a general and the founding figure of the Han Dynasty. He was wise, earnest, courteous and was especially celebrated for his integrity. Despite Huang Shi-Gong’s persistent scrutiny and criticism, he persevered and made sincere corrections each time. In the end, he was rewarded with the precious Book of Strategies which helped him accomplish great work. We hope children will be inspired by Zhang’s perseverance. One day, their consistent hard work today will pay off and earn them precious rewards.

我來想一想
The Big Book of Riddles

我來想一想是一本謎語集。要成功地玩猜謎語必須靠日常生活中對各種事物的留心觀察，發掘出它們的特性，將事物歸類、區分、整理，當然還需要運用橫向思維方式。孩子的視點角度和我們不一樣，他們的觀察力很可能十分敏銳；就等他們來讓我們吃驚吧。

Solving riddles relies on careful observations and the abilities to compare, contrast and group. It also requires a keen analytical mind and some lateral thinking. Children look at the world from a different angle than us. They can have very sharp eyes and observation skills. You will be surprised by their discoveries and creative answers time and time again!

拇指姑娘
Thumbelina

拇指姑娘的故事迂回曲折，不但角色繁多，相互之間纏繞着複雜的關係，故事跨越的時間亦長、空間也廣。小朋友一方面要認識自然界季節轉變對動物的影響，讀故事時亦需要緊隨情節的突變，理解各人的心態和思維。大家知道故事結尾的那位寫故事的人是誰嗎？書中自有答案。

The story of Thumbelina is more than just a fairy tale. It is an adventure and a story of friendship. There are many characters in the story. They interact with each other and form a complex relationship network. There is also a series of causes and consequences. The story takes place across a long timeframe and a vast geographical distance. Your child will need the knowledge of animal behaviour and comprehend how the change of seasons affects nature, as well as the understanding of people’s mind, to be able to follow and enjoy the story. Does your child know who the original writer of this story was? You can find the answer in the book.
