Hi, I'm Gem! I'm a former K-5 classroom teacher, and I'm bilingual in English and Mandarin. I created 閱與Gem so Chinese-speaking families have a clear, friendly way to help their children learn to read English. My bilingual phonics tools are built on the science of reading approach. I use what you already know about zhuyin and pinyin as a bridge, so English phonics feels familiar, not foreign. You don't need to be an English expert. We'll take it one step at a time!
