Level 4 Japanese Reader Class Set for Classroom Use

This Level 4 Japanese Reader Class Set is recommended for developing Japanese learners who are ready to move from simple sentences into a longer, connected Japanese recount.

Through Richy’s travel journal, students follow his adventures day by day while naturally encountering past-tense Japanese, time expressions, particles, and vocabulary related to travel and everyday experiences.

In addition, teachers who purchase this Japanese Reader Class Set & Online Flipbook Pack can choose the number of printed readers they need and receive password-protected access to the matching online flipbook.

As a result, teachers can display the reader on an interactive whiteboard, projector, or classroom screen while students follow along in their own books. This makes whole-class teaching, guided reading, pair work, and independent learning simple and engaging.

🇯🇵 Discover Japan Through Richy’s Travel Journal

Join Richy as he travels from Australia to Japan and records his adventures in a Japanese journal.

Students follow his journey through exciting destinations and experiences, including Tokyo Disneyland, a haunted house in Odaiba, the Pokémon Center in Tokyo, snow in Japan, parks, Japanese food, and Nikko Edo Village.

Along the way, learners discover both modern and traditional Japan through authentic photographs and manageable Japanese text.

Because the story is structured as a recount of Richy’s experiences, students repeatedly encounter useful language for talking about where they went, what they did, what they saw, and how they felt.
