Sage Formula has a set of 25 books, 5 books each for each level (Beginning, Budding, Building, Confident & Fluent)
The set has 500 Chinese words which are commonly used and most are relevant to a child's day-to-day life.
Sage Formula Book 1 Level 1 |
The words will then be repeated in subsequent lessons, working towards to build a solid foundation and understanding the use of the word.
As you go through each lesson, the sentences get longer. Personally, I find it good in giving the child an example of "Zao Ju"- forming sentences with a given word and "Pei Chi" as well.
Coming to the correct sequence of strokes. I love it as Sage Formula has the printed word in a pretty big size with the strokes numbered in sequence. I normally placed a transparency over it and Xav will use a washable marker to go through the strokes himself following the numbers.
I would use the books for reference as well when I, myself is not sure of some characters during the preparation of letting him practice writing. I teach him using the stroke sequencing method as per my last post, HERE.
So how to find out which book you have got ? The levels will be indicated by number 1 -5 as per the circled part on the left of the book.
Following by the circled button on the right, if you see only one small circle in it, it means Book 1. Book 2 will have 2 small circles and all the way till 5 small circles for Book 5.
ISBN number for this is 978-988-17005-0-6 if you wish to find it online. I normally will wait for Popular Fairs where they have 50% off for the second book.

I bought the beginner series for Sophie too and intend to use it with her. I like that the Chinese characters are big with clear strokes for writing.
Susan, yes ! Love the size of the character ! Looks more friendly and easy to let them write.
Hello! Would like to check if you are selling off your sage books?
