Check out Boris!-it’s a graded Japanese mini book (34 pages long) for super beginners, fully illustrated and includes comprehension checks, an oral task and glossary. I am happy to share it with you FREE and would love to hear your feedback and suggestions.

What I love about this little book is that it tells the story of Boris the magpie with only 15 unique words and 8 animal words, so the reader gets lots of exposure to the grammar structures and high frequency vocabulary.

There are 2 versions which allow for differentiation. The Extension Edition is in full script, and the Scaffolded Edition provides extra reading support with some proper nouns in English. This is done strategically to reduce the cognitive load on the reader so they can build up confidence and reading fluency fast ie enjoy the reading process without the slog of decoding characters.

Please if you have any suggestions for story ideas or feedback in general about the mini books (digital vs hard copy etc), I would really love to hear from you. おねがいします！
