This product is written in the Filipino language. It is a mini e-book of ten short Filipino poems about children (five boys and five girls). Each poem has four lines. Titled “Ang Bata sa Tula” (The Child in the Poem), this product can be used for practice reading Filipino, recreational reading, or as a motivational activity for a lesson on Filipino rhyming words. The ebook has three versions listed below.
1. Ang Bata sa Tula.pdf: This file shows each 4-line poem in one page. Going to the next page shows another poem.
2. Ang Bata sa Tula_Per Line.pdf: This file shows the line one at a time until the entire poem is displayed. A teacher or parent may prefer that each line be read first before the next line appears. Going to the next page shows the next line of the poem.
3. Ang Bata sa Tula.mp4: This video is 3 minutes and 38 seconds long. It has no music and no reading voices because it is meant to be read aloud for the learner or read silently by the learner.
