Japanese Readers Unlike books written for native Japanese-speaking children, Mariko Sensei&#8217;s Japanbooks are specifically designed for learners of Japanese. Written by native Japanese educators with many years of teaching experience, our readers use authentic, natural Japanese that native speakers use every day. The language is then carefully graded to make it accessible, enjoyable, and achievable for learners. This unique combination allows learners to experience authentic Japanese while building confidence through successful reading from the very beginning. Furthermore, our books are designed to support steady progress. Our collection begins with simple hiragana word-level readers for complete beginners. It progresses through nine carefully graded levels to advanced readers, introducing increasingly complex
