First and foremost, let’s take a look at Treasure Box. Treasure Box is a storybook set that comes with read along CDs. It is designed to help children learn Chinese in a fun and engaging way. The set is divided into 5 different levels, with each level building on the previous one.
As children progress through the levels, they will learn new Chinese characters and vocabulary, as well as improve their reading and comprehension skills. One of the benefits of Treasure Box is that it is adaptable to your child’s cognitive development.
Each level of the set prompts children to pay attention to their world, including time, space, personal relationships, physical phenomena, and more. This means that the material is age-appropriate and tailored to your child’s learning needs. This adaptability is especially important for children who are just starting to learn Chinese. If the material is too difficult or too easy, they may lose interest and motivation.
Another benefit of Treasure Box is that it is a storybook set that children can read on their own. Each level provides ample examples of how the characters can be formed into words, phrases, and sentences. The stories are engaging and filled with relatable characters that children can connect with. This makes learning Chinese feel less like a chore and more like an enjoyable activity. The ability to read on their own also fosters independence and confidence in children.
Treasure Box also offers a wide variety of genres for all-rounded development. The set is filled with learning opportunities, from learning Chinese characters to revision and new acquisition, rhetoric, the study of history, and cognitive development. This means that children will not only learn Chinese, but also develop other skills and knowledge in the process. For example, they may learn about Chinese culture and history through the stories, or they may improve their critical thinking skills through the exercises and activities.
Now let’s talk about the benefits of learning Chinese itself. Chinese is the most widely spoken language in the world, with over 1.3 billion speakers. Learning Chinese opens up many opportunities for personal and professional growth, especially in today’s globalised world. Chinese is also a challenging but rewarding language to learn. The characters are beautiful and intricate, and the language has a rich cultural heritage that spans thousands of years.
Learning Chinese also has cognitive benefits. Studies have shown that learning a second language can improve memory, problem-solving skills, and creativity. It can also delay the onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease in later life. By introducing their children to Chinese, parents are setting them up for success and providing them with valuable skills for the future.
Firstly, it takes the guesswork out of teaching Chinese. Parents who are not fluent in Chinese themselves may struggle to find appropriate and engaging material for their children. Treasure Box provides a comprehensive and structured approach to learning Chinese that is easy to follow. The set comes with everything parents need to get started, including storybooks, CDs, and activity books.
Private Chinese lessons or tutors can be expensive, and not everyone has the time or resources to enrol their children in a language school. All Sagebooks products, including Treasure Box, offer a convenient alternative that parents can use at their own pace and in their own home.
Below, we invite you to have a sneak peek of one of the Fluent Reader stories – the Song of the Sunflower (CDs are included in the complete set of Treasure Box).
Combined with our Sagebooks App, using any of our books or online learning courses sets your child up for success when it comes to language learning.

能認讀僅僅是跨進了閱讀門坎的第一步,要真正做到閱讀,孩子還必須具有好奇心、專注力、理解力、提出質疑的能力、推理的能力等等。因此,要徹底引發孩子的天生學習潛能,必須及時為孩子在每個發展階段及時地提供合適的讀物。
《寶貝盒》正是我們為學齡前兒童精心研發編寫的系統性、科學性閱讀課程,配合基礎漢字500課程,共有五個級別共25本故事書。
在開始學習認讀三個半月後,即是已學習認讀了最初的、最常用的100個字後,便應該開始有系統地開始學習閱讀了。
25個故事為孩子提供一個系統的、有規律的閱讀體驗網,循序漸進地增加他們的理解和思考能力,讓他們感受到漢語的修辭和美感,同時讓他們真切地感受到閱讀的較高層次目的,如:樂趣、求知、豐富心靈、增加體驗……
幼童的專注力很短,隨着心智發展逐漸延長。所以閱讀時間,也是我們給孩子選擇書籍的重要參考因素。《寶貝盒》每級的篇幅和內容都經過精心策劃,逐步增長和加深,閱讀時長也逐漸加深,既可挑戰孩子的能耐,又不會讓孩子感到挫敗。故事情節複雜程度慢慢遞增,讓孩子保持好奇和興趣,還能引發孩子的思考,沈醉於閱讀。這樣,孩子透過每天的練習,輕鬆地、潛移默化地提升專注力和學習能力。
首先,閱讀能讓孩子逐漸積累豐富詞彙。每級《寶貝盒》的5本故事繪本都全部使用對應課程級別學過的漢字,同時引進10%的新生字,這些新漢字非但不會影響孩子對故事整體內容的理解,還可以讓孩子保持新鮮感,同時亦為升級的學習打下基礎。
《寶貝盒》的故事文章題材多元化,包括民謠詩歌、中國經典故事、童話和語言故事等,單字都得到了更多不同組合運用的機會,孩子輕易就能學到新的字意。
第二,閱讀增強孩子的理解能力。通過閱讀,孩子可以代入不同的故事和角色去思考,是孩子鍛煉橫向思維的有效方式。每級寶貝盒都包含了不同的機智和急才的故事,而且角色都是小孩子,能讓孩子輕易感同身受。
第三,一旦掌握了閱讀,孩子就掌握了學習知識的工具。寶貝盒透過繪本向孩子介紹親情道德、天文地理、數學概念、科學觀察等常識,讓孩子在閱讀中擴寬眼界,增長各方面的知識。
閱讀繪本的過程能讓孩子學習多種文學體材和欣賞不同類別的故事,有系統地循序漸進學習語文運用和修辭技巧,大量且豐富的輸入,自然能讓孩子有了輸出的基礎,打下堅實的寫作基礎。
把握孩子學習啓蒙的黃金時期,必須及時為孩子提供優質的教材。寶貝盒以科學性、有系統的方法引導孩子學習閱讀,一步步提高孩子閱讀的能力和質素。配合孩子心智發展層層遞進,才是真正適合孩子成長的讀物,助力孩子踏實前進。
寶貝盒僅是孩子閱讀的起點,更重要的是,家長可以把寶貝盒作為藍本,為孩子多挑選其他篇幅字數、閱讀時間、文體相約的優質圖書,為孩子設置一個能配個孩子的閱讀水平、興趣和心智能力的圖書庫,不斷薰陶孩子的閱讀興趣、提升他的語文能力。
下面,我們邀請你先睹為快實力級故事之一——《向日葵之歌》。
你還可以結合使用配套的 Sagebooks App 豐富的功能,充分利用寶貝盒或其他思展圖書。參與思展不同主題的線上課程,也是孩子語文學習的有效途徑。
「寫作和閱讀是弓和箭的關係:寫作是支箭,閱讀是把弓。要把箭射出去得有弓;要把箭射到很遠很遠的地方去,這把弓得很強勁。」
