Mase’s Room

This text is one of a series of three books, written by a New Zealand teacher, who is passionate about providing access to quality resources for Samaon learners. It is written in English but can be used to teach/reinforce counting in Samoan. As Mase cleans his room he picks up or tidies away one to 10 items. The reader is supported in reading the Samoan numbers by the pictures and with a punctuation guide in the back of the book.

Other texts in the series cover colours and days of the week.
