Join a Mandarin Reading Circle

Du Shu Le (Happy Reading) Circle

A Mandarin Literacy Program for Bilingual Kids

Advocates for Chinese Education (ACE) is pleased to announce a new program! Du Shu Le (Happy Reading) Circle was formed this month as a public resource for San Francisco’s youngest students of Mandarin (pre-K through 5th grade).

Reading (du shu in Mandarin) is essential for language learning. Reading aloud to young children is not only one of the best activities to stimulate language and cognitive skills; it also builds motivation, curiosity and memory.

Our first gathering will be at the Potrero Hill Branch of the San Francisco Public Library with a 45-minute story time and social for pre-K to 2nd graders. Part II of the program includes small group or one-on-one reading sessions for 1st – 5th grade students.

Our first event will be March 18! RSVP is required.
