A Masterpiece that can be read in 10 Minutes - 3rd Grade
Although this really nice book of folk tales and famous stories was originally compiled for 3rd-grade elementary school students, it is also a great study tool for intermediate Japanese learners to practice their reading skills. There are ten classic stories — six Japanese folk tales, including The Old Woman Who Lost Her Dumpling, and four stories from other countries, including a Japanese abridged version of Mark Twain’s The Prince and the Pauper. Each story is designed to be read in around 10 minutes at an enjoyable pace. Explanations are provided of vocabulary that present-day 10-year-olds aren’t expected to know, which is equally helpful for Japanese learners of all ages. There are also some fun games and activities in the back of the book based on each story, which are great for children but also work well as fun activities in an adult Japanese language classroom setting. No matter what age you are, the key to this book is to encourage enjoyment of reading, and any audience can experience that with this delightful collection of stories.
Structure:
- 6 famous Japanese stories.
- 4 stories from other countries.
- An appendix of fun games and activities based on the stories.

- Have a Japanese-speaking child in 3rd-grade elementary school.
- You are looking for easy-to-read stories with furigana.
- You are interested in Japanese folk tales.
- You are a parent studying Japanese and want to share your experience with your Japanese-speaking child.
