XiaoXi Posted March 20, 2010 at 08:55 AM Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 at 08:55 AM I'm looking for simple/kids stories or other text to read online. Not PDF or other ebooks and certainly not paper books. Something suitable for 500+ character recognition level. Interesting stories I can read in my browser - not news though. Oh and not with pinyin. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted March 20, 2010 at 09:58 AM Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 at 09:58 AM Have you tried searching the forums? I've searched for the word "simple" in the title and found this thread, which looks pretty useful to you -> Simple online texts for learning to read characters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XiaoXi Posted March 20, 2010 at 10:47 AM Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 at 10:47 AM Yes I tried searching the forums. I searched for 'online' in the Reading and Writing Skills section but didn't find much. Looks like you found more although only one link in that thread is any good but its not really stories. I guess its not easy to find. A native Chinese could probably find simple stories online pretty quickly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedgePig Posted March 20, 2010 at 11:25 AM Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 at 11:25 AM Thanks, skylee! That's useful. I've just followed the links and enkoyed the story about weighing the elephant at http://www-personal.umich.edu/~dporter/sampler/sampler.html#top site.

XiaoXi Posted March 20, 2010 at 12:46 PM Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 at 12:46 PM Yes that one is good but requires intermediate level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted March 21, 2010 at 02:52 AM Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 at 02:52 AM These are also good, insofar as having interesting content: http://www.clavisinica.com/voices.html That being said, I must confess that I did not personally find the "difficulty level one" articles to be very easy to read. Only you can tell if they fit your needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
