Online newspaper for kids in simplified Chinese?

[diff]

Hi,

is there anything available online like http://www.mdnkids.com/, only in simplified Chinese ?

Trying to get into newspaper studying, newsinchinese.com is too hard for me, still...

Best regards,

The Beijing Children's Weekly seems like it might be similar. You can also feed those pages through Adsotrans to get them annotated.

I don't know about you, but kids books drive me crazy. If you are not quite to the point where you are reading news papers, but know about 1k-1200, you might try

A New Text for Moder China

ISBN: 0887273122

I have only read the 1st 2 essays, and I'm at about the 1k level.

Columbia Univ. uses this in their 3rd yr class.

For myself, I will finish off the Huang and Stimson series(1300 character level) then tackle ANTfMC.

When I started reading newspapers I stuck to tabloids - they carry the simple 'Man eats wife', 'Chicken steals dog' type story, which are more narrative than analysis and are thus a good bit easier to understand. The Xinhua stuff on NewsinChinese.com is probably more concerned with major issues that will use more obscure vocabulary.

This site is quite nice.... has a good deal of simple readings. Not for kids, so at least the topics are ok.

The Advanced Level readings seems not to be working, though.
