The idea is for the reader to read the entire story three times. Each page will have a sentence or two in hiragana (with spaces between words for you to see \"words\" instead of syllables) at the top and that same content in full Japanese (with furigana-small hiragana over kanji) at the bottom. The middle will have the glossary and grammatical explanations. Lastly, the story is presented in Japanese without furigana. See if you can read it after going through the previous two versions and explanations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf you have just learned hiragana, you may want to listen to the sound file while reading the top hiragana section to practice correct pronunciation. If you have studied Japanese a bit longer, you may want to start with the bottom version and take note of the glossary for understanding. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe glossary will have the word as it appears in the story, but it will also give the \"dictionary\" form so you can look the word up further. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStories included in this volume: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eStory 1 Taiyaki\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eStory 2 Mitarashi Dango\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eStory 3 Japanese Pancakes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eStory 4 Japanese Dialects\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eStory 5 Cold Meals\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eStory 6 Disaster Preparedness Day\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eStory 7 Sports Day\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eStory 8 Japanese Names\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eStory 9 General Cleaning\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eStory 10 Motivation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving fun while learning a language is a great way to increase motivation.
