Reading in Chinese will expand your child’s vocabulary. For instance, in a story, a lot of synonyms of a word are used to better define the situation rather than the simple words we use in conversation. People simply don’t give their words as much attention in casual conversation as they do in writing. When you see words used in writing, you begin to understand their subtle meanings. Hence, the more you read, the more new Chinese words you come across to add to your vocab list.
Improves writing skills
Reading widely can help you write Chinese more fluently. A lot of writing skills develop via reading other people’s work. Same goes for the mother tongue language, the more you read in Chinese, the more knowledge you gain on how to write like an expert. It not only enhances your array of words, but also teaches you good grammar, punctuation, sentence construction and much more. For example, if you wish to learn how to write a letter in Chinese, read more samples of Chinese letters.
Reading a lot in Chinese becomes enjoyable in and of itself, apart from helping you to advance in your Chinese language goals. To put it another way, learning to read Chinese can open up a whole new world of fun for you. At
