Japanese Mini-Books for Primary School Students

Getting our young students to read script requires careful scaffolding and support. It also requires reading materials of the right language level and subject area. Class sets of readers can become very expensive and big books are unable to be modified to suit your students' individual needs and interests.

With this collection of 20 modifiable mini-books, including ideas for introducing guided, modelled, and independent reading strategies into your reading program, students will build great foundations for becoming confident readers in Japanese script.

The mini-books resources and scaffolded reading program was presented at the 2009 Australian Federation of Modern Language Teachers Associations Biennial Conference in Sydney.
