“It really is revolutionary! The graded and abridged news made reading practice so easy and fun. It helps me to differentiate my teaching. By using it, I’m assigning 3 different homework to the class, while each level feels challenged and encouraged. At the beginning of class, I use a piece of fun news as an opener, which brings everyone together, and set the collaborating tone of the class time.”

“I wholeheartedly recommend The Chairman’s Bao to all students of Chinese, for self-learning or to supplement a formal course. The bite-sized bespoke articles, all graded according to HSK level, are current, interesting and well-written, and provide a wonderful incentive to keep students of all ages and levels motivated.”

“The Chairman’s Bao has made planning and resource finding so much easier! And my students engage with TCB articles for listening and reading in a way that never happens with dull text book exercises. For the older students, there’s a wealth of interesting content for them, plus clear grammar explanations. In fact with my pre-U class”

“I used to spend almost a third of my time looking for material. And that’s a waste of time, because once I find material, I have to do the planning, then it just doesn’t leave me much time for other tasks. But now I have TCB and it just took away that pressure, I can focus on my planning, my instruction in the classroom, so that’s a huge time relief from my part.”

“There is now motivation for students to practice reading and listening. Heritage learners now feel that they’ve found a good place to practice reading comprehension. Other languages wish they would have their version of TCB. Spanish and French are excited about Newsdle!”

“I really love TCB’s authentic materials, that are at an appropriate level, but then will push students and make them encounter words they haven’t seen.”
