Book Dash

If you want to find some English picture books for your children, but don’t want to buy a whole set of books as soon as they come up, you can read them firstBook Dash。

Book Dash is a non-profit organization based in South Africa that invites writers, illustrators, designers and other professionals to volunteer to create children's storybooks featuring African life and culture, and delivers the books to preschool children and their families through partners.

Book DashIt can be read online or downloaded electronically. Need to pay attention to:Book Dash is not a Chinese picture book library, nor is it a learning platform that divides courses according to English proficiency.Domestic users are more suitable to use it as a supplementary resource for English parent-child reading, picture storytelling and classroom activities.

Book Dash allows you to select books by topic. There are corresponding filter items for animals, family, friends, emotions, diet, daily habits, natural environment, etc.

Rather than flipping through the covers aimlessly, you can start with something that your child is interested in recently. If you like animals, read the animal theme first; if you are concerned about making friends or expressing emotions, choose from related stories.

Language-wise, the current library offers English, as well as several southern African language options, andWordless wordless picture book. There is no Chinese option in the language filter list viewed this time, and the language versions provided by each book are not exactly the same.

For families with limited English skills, wordless picture books are also an option. Parents can use Chinese to accompany their children to observe the pictures, and then ask the children to talk about what they saw. There is no need to turn every reading into word recognition.

Generally, home printers can only print on A4 paper, and most picture books are on 16K paper. When printing, you can choose to scale it to fit the paper size.

How to translate to Chinese

I recommend using the "Immersive Translation": https://www.tboxn.com/sites/3275.html PDF document translation function, just throw it in, and then select the BabeDOC translation method, there will be a watermark. But it doesn’t matter if you use it for yourself.
