Japanese Graded Readers - Start

This is a great set of 8 mini-books, from popular Japanese language tool publishers Ask, to help beginner students learn how to read Japanese and pick up some essential vocabulary.

Each book tells a different story through the use of manga, with either dialogue or a basic narrative in Japanese. Most of the Japanese is in hiragana, but any kanji introduced also has furigana above it. This means that you can build your confidence reading hiragana, plus pick up some important kanji on the way.

The wide-ranging themes of the 8 books are: Counting Things, Shiritori, Cats in Paintings, the Aesop fable of the Ant and Pigeon, 2 Ryo the Police Officer stories, famous Japanese folk tale The Water of Youth, and A Concert in the Forest. Through universal themes, these stories provide a great resource of foundation vocabulary, and they can be enjoyed by both children and adults alike.

If you are looking to practice your Japanese reading skills at a beginner level in a fun and enjoyable way, then these books are perfect for you.
