Karkar-Yuri school books
There are seven Karkar-Yuri speaking villages that also have an Elementary School.
The Abau Project has developed a series of schoolbooks that can be used in Elementary Prep, Elementary One and Elementary Two.
These books are based on the work done by SIL Fieldworkers, Dorothy Price and Veda Rigden.
In Elementary Prep only Karkar-Yuri is used. In Elementary One and especially in Elementary Two a transition is made to the English language.
The overview of two pictures below show the schoolbooks in Elementary Prep and also for Elementary 1 and 2. (They can also be used in TPPS schools)
A number of Teacher Guides are available.
These schoolbooks can be borrowed by Elementary Schools in the Karkar-Yuri area by paying a borrowing fee.
