We are pleased to share with you some free additional resources for you to make available to parents for their Chinese DLI students. These include an E-Library, song and character videos, an activity book, a coloring book, as well as digital flashcards based on YCT vocabulary, as is MMX. Although not designed for immersion students, we feel these still can be useful for our students to extend and reinforce their learning.
These resources come from the VIP Kids/Lingo Bus company in China, who have an excellent reputation and generously made this donation with a value of nearly $1 million to Utah Chinese DLI to support us during COVID -19. Normally the subscriptions are $60 USD per student annually. They have prioritized Utah above all other states, and we are grateful for their support.
The Utah-specific links below will take parents to a sign-up page if they choose to make this available to their children. We have reviewed the online materials and share the following information about them with you.
- E-Library: A rich variety of stories (does not include comprehension ?s or assessments)
- Daily Chinese: A good resource for upper elementary–lots of new words, memes, slang, etc.
- Game-Based Activity Book: Great for siblings to play together
- Coloring Book: Good review for 2nd-5th grade students
- YCT Vocab Review Packets: Includes sentences to reinforce correct usage
- Animated Character Flashcards (organized by radicals)
- 2019-2020 Year of Pig & Rat: Culturally themed activities
- Audio Library/Chants: Just for fun!
PARENTS CAN SIGN-UP USING EITHER LINK:
When you sign up, the program will ask you for a level. Please start on the first level. It will be easier to level up than to adjust the level down.
