In 2020 a series of Chinese graded readers was published by Yun Xian. Yun Xian is a professional Chinese language teacher with over 18 years of teaching experience teaching Mandarin worldwide. Her students requested supplemental learning materials in addition to the Standard Course HSK. Not satisfied with what was available, she developed her own graded readers ranging from HSK 1 to HSK 6. These books are available in both Kindle and paperback format.
At this time, I am studying HSK 4 materials with a teacher I found on italki. Just as Yun Xian’s students like supplemental materials, I too see the benefit, especially from Chinese graded readers. My goal is to read the entire range of the Chinese Graded Readers series. I have a few comments about the first book, “HSK1 + Reading & Listening”.
