The set of stories utilizes a vocabulary of about 800 words. The grammar points include ~toki, ~tara\/ba\/nara, ~sou, ~you, potential, imperative, passive form, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stories are beautifully illustrated, and furigana (small kana written above kanji to show the pronunciation) is included on all the kanji.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJapanese Graded Readers (JGR's) are written in an easy and controlled language for foreign or second language learners of Japanese. They are graded according to the size of vocabulary, the complexity of grammar structures, and the total number of words used in each book. They are designed to cater to all levels from beginners to advanced students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most language learners, reading Japanese books has been a daunting task. There are many unknown words, kanji, and expressions beyond their level of understanding. JGR's have changed all that so now students can enjoy reading without having to constantly stop and look up unknown kanji, words, or phrases in the dictionary. Research has also shown that students who read in Japanese improve their Japanese in other areas of the language at a faster rate than students who don't read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe encourage you not to reach for a dictionary while reading Japanese Graded Readers. Try to skip words and phrases that you don't understand and simply keep on reading. Their meanings will become apparent eventually from the context and illustrations. Finally, if the going gets tough, simply stop reading and try a different one. Don't try too hard to finish! If you do, you might begin to hate reading in Japanese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is one audio track that did not fit on the included CD.
