The story of Benji is told with a very low unique word count of 13 which makes it the perfect starting point for a beginner reader of Japanese. Readers are supported with colour illustrations on every page and extensive recycling of the language used. The high repetition of the language allows the reader to master the language chunks and quickly experience reading success. Included are comprehension checks and a 'Where's Benji' game at the end of the story. For an extra reading challenge, try Benji Extension Edition which is written in full script. Total pages: 35
