Ano ito? Series: For beginning readers of Filipino

Hello, everyone! I would like to thank the people who sent me messages and comments. I’m sorry I was not able to reply to you personally, but I appreciate all your comments and encouragement. I’m very happy knowing that my resources have helped you in teaching your kids and students. I started making new reading materials for beginning readers of Filipino a couple of months back and I was not able to post them. I know some of you have been looking and asking for this kind of material.

Mga Pinakakaraniwang Salita sa Filipino

I was working on a new series for beginning readers of Filipino when I got the idea of making a list of common Filipino words.

The words are arranged according to the number of letters in the word. For each group, the words are arranged alphabetically (according to the Filipino alphabet). The words are not arranged according to the parts of speech. Words with two or more syllables are syllabicated and the syllabicated words are in parentheses. See the image of the first page below. Teachers and parents can use this list as a basis for making vocabulary…

Magbasa Tayo!: Ang Bagyo

Happy new year to all! Here's another installment to my Magbasa Tayo! series.

If you would like to see more short reading passages, you may type the phrase "magbasa tayo" in the Search box on the right. Click on the title or the download button below to open the PDF file in another tab. Please read the Terms of Use on the first two pages of the PDF file.
