The breakthrough level of these graded readers is PERFECT for me at this stage (I study about 2 hours per day). Here's a list of the reasons why they are so great:-You can practice reading longer form text that uses high-frequency characters. My character recognition improved as soon as I was done with the first chapter!-Reading out loud is a great way to practice your cadence and natural speech.-interesting stories even at the breakthrough level using only 150 characters. Will 周海生 get in trouble for making noodles??? What's that kid at the other restaurant saying? Put your Chinese reading skills to use and find out!-The list of grammar points in the back is also extremely useful. The headings directly correspond with the headings on Chinese Grammar Wiki (which if you already aren't using, you should).-it's very encouraging to be able to read at this level. It definitely takes you beyond the textbook things like "Miss Zhang's clothes are very pretty", "Do you eat apples?", "Is it raining in Shanghai?", which can get pretty boring.-At least for me, it is encouraging me to reach the next level in a few months (Level 1 readers).This kind of content is so good for beginners and I believe will help to decrease the "drop-off" rate for Chinese learners. It CAN get pretty frustrating at times, so give yourself a little encouragement and learn in a fun and engaging way!I know there are plans for a few more breakthrough readers to be released in the coming months and I know I will be buying them all! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great books for the immersion program *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2020* I don't know Chinese but my kids are in the immersion program and I have spent years looking for ways to help them with their Chinese. These books have been one of the most useful tools. My twelve year old has read most of the level 1 books. My daughter that is nine struggles with Chinese reading. We got these easier books and her brother has been helping her read them. Since they are a beginning level she can review things she has forgotten and still read enough to feel confident. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ wonderful series of readers *by D***Z on Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2020* I have read several books in this series, in all three levels, and have thoroughly enjoyed every one. Pedagogically, they are masterful -- not only systematically introducing and reviewing vocabulary items, but in particular doing the same thing with grammatical patterns, chosen carefully for each level. You feel yourself learning the patterns as you go, with each varied repetition. The kicker, to me, is that they also manage to be page-turners! Even in the "Breakthrough Level" stories with only 150 characters apiece, I always wanted to find out what happened next with the characters and plot. So the learning just slips in pretty effortlessly. (I did have to work harder with the one Level 2 story I have read so far.) I hope more stories will be forthcoming! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/131867526-the-misadventures-of-zhou-haisheng-mandarin-companion-graded-readers-breakthrough](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/131867526-the-misadventures-of-zhou-haisheng-mandarin-companion-graded-readers-breakthrough) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
