Chinese Language Project

Since late 2016, on weekends, I have been a volunteer at the Newark Public Library as a Chinese Storytime Program helper. I read Mandarin Chinese books and teach simple Chinese to kids learning the language at local immersion schools. I also read to kids who are in the Chinese-American community to help them keep up with Chinese characters.

Here is a short video of my reading activities at the library.

What I do as a volunteer:

• Select books/electronic books
• Design and prepare materials for the craft activities
• Read books to children
• Teach Chinese and/or reinforce what they learn at school and home
• Help children with craft making
