Features: Happy Readers is a children's English learning series originally published in the United States by Pearson Education Group and reproduced by Tsinghua University Press. Its predecessor, Ready Readers, is divided into 8 levels and was specifically created by American early childhood education experts for children's English enlightenment. From content creation to illustration layout, this series is designed based on children's age characteristics, aligning with their cognitive patterns, focusing on the development of multiple intelligences, reflecting children's emotional world, and inspiring imagination. Based on the content and language features of the picture books, we have integrated this series, publishing the first 4 levels, which primarily focus on words and repetitive simple sentences, as the Happy Pups Story Park series, targeting preschoolers and lower primary school students. Happy Readers serves as extracurricular English reading material for primary school students. Each level still primarily uses repetitive simple sentences, with increasing difficulty in subsequent levels, transitioning from language reflecting children's spoken characteristics to written language features. The content and topics gradually become richer as children grow older. Happy Readers is divided into 4 levels, including 18 books, 8 audio cassettes, and accompanying Teacher's Guides (containing story translations, audio script translations, lyrics and translations of English songs in the cassettes, word explanations, etc.). The structure of the entire series is as follows:
Level 1 includes 4 books and 2 audio cassettes. Suitable for students in primary school grades 2-3.
Level 2 includes 5 books and 2 audio cassettes. Suitable for students in primary school grades 3-4.
Level 3 includes 4 books and 2 audio cassettes. Suitable for students in primary school grades 4-5.
Level 4 includes 5 books and 2 audio cassettes. Suitable for students in primary school grades 5-6.
This series features beautiful illustrations, vivid language, and a wide range of story themes, including children's daily experiences, adventures, fairy tales, and natural knowledge, among others. The original audio tapes have clear sound quality, moderate pacing, and emotionally expressive narration. Some stories include songs that match the plot, with lyrics and translations provided in the Teacher's Guides.
