Maikling Kuwento para sa Araw ng mga Puso

Happy Valentine's Day in advance to all my subscribers! As a Valentine gift, here's a short story (titled "Ang mga Bulaklak ni Emma") that you may read to your children or students for Valentine's Day (Araw ng mga Puso).

Maikling Kuwento: Ang Puno ng Mangga

I wrote this short story a long time ago, but I wasn't able to post a printable. With most classes still being held online, I decided to make a version for on-screen viewing instead. Below is a link to a PDF file with the short story "Ang Puno ng Mangga". It includes 10 questions at the end of the story. However, answers are not provided. I imagined that it could be read by the student or a parent on a gadget or read to students by a teacher or tutor teaching an online class. If you are a teacher or tutor, you can send your clients the link to this post so they can download the short story themselves. However you want to use it, if you download the PDF file, it is understood that you agree to abide by the Terms of Use included in the file and those…

Digital Flashcards: Mga Karaniwang Salita

If you would like your child or student to practice reading common words in Filipino, you may find the files below useful. There are five sets of digital flashcards, each with a PDF file version and a PowerPoint version (pptx). The sets are ordered from 2-letter to 5-letter Filipino words. These digital flashcards may be useful if you are teaching Filipino online. I provided the PowerPoint versions so you would be able to order the slides differently. You can also add English translations to a slide by adding a text box. However, you may not edit the words in the PowerPoint files. The files are for non-commercial on-screen viewing. If you download the files, it is understood that you agree to abide by the Terms of Use in this website. Here are the links to the PDF files: Mga Karaniwang Salita Digital Flashcards Set A.pdf (6.8 MB) Mga Karaniwang Salita…

Bagong Kuwento: Ang Tatlong Pagsubok

I just added a new story under the Resources menu above and under the sub-menu Mga Kuwento. It is a short story titled "Ang Tatlong Pagsubok". The story is adapted from "The Queen Bee", written by the Grimm Brothers. I translated the story to Filipino and changed a few details. This resource is an 8-page PDF file. The first two pages have the Terms of Use. The next four pages have the Filipino story and the last two pages have 10 multiple-choice questions about the story. If you download this PDF file, it is understood that you have agreed to abide by the Terms of Use indicated in the main menu of this blog. The resource is for personal and classroom use only (for face-to-face or online classes). Commercial use (selling for profit), mass distribution, and mass presentation are not allowed.

New Video Poems

Since lockdowns have been imposed and classes are conducted online, I've seen fewer people and kids in bookstores. So I've made a couple of my poems into short videos (mp4). In my TeachersPayTeachers store Oliotopia, I recently posted two new products. The Kaya Ko Video Poem is 2:32 minutes long, featuring my short poem Kaya Ko. Background music plays in one version but there are no reading voices because it is meant to be read aloud by the teacher/parent or read silently by the learner. This short video can be used by teachers as an introductory or motivational activity for a lesson on verbs during an online class. It can also be used for practice reading in Filipino. The other product, Ang Bata sa Tula, is a mini-ebook and video of a collection of 10 silly four-line Filipino poems about children. The product features PDF file versions and an mp4…
