Opis

Let's Learn the Samoan Alphabet book is a fun soft-cover title that offers a tool to parents to teach children to learn the full Samoan alphabet. Samoan is a unique language belonging to the natives of the Samoan people in Polynesia. The glottal stop, vowels, as well as consonants are presented and further elaborated in examples uniquely crafted on each page. There are over 40 pages in total. Each symbol in the Sasmoan alphabet is displayed in 3D wood illustrations, together with an associated colorful image that represents that letter in the Samoan language. Each alphabet symbol is shown on the left side of the page, including the word of choice and phonetic pronunciation. The complimentary image with accompanying narratives are on the facing pages to further discuss the alphabets individually. Interactive discussions between parents or adults and children are important to further solidify understanding of what is being seen and read. To ensure that the child focuses on each symbol in the Samoan alphabet, we used both facing pages to introduce one concept, building on this understanding, before moving on to the next page to introduce the next alphabet symbol.
