Lagi Spies
Paperback Edition: 1
Lagi always enjoys playing games with her friends. Lagi teaches us colours in Samoan while playing a fun game of I spy.
This playful story captures the fun of playing the popular childrens game I Spy. The integration of the Gagana Samoa focus, colours in Samoan, throughout the text allows the reader to safely explore the words and develop understanding. A highly visual text which encourages discussion and specific focus on the different lanu featured in the story.
The Milas My Gagana Series are a result of author Dahlia Malaeulu's combined love for her tamaiti, her Samoan Culture and her passion for learning. The first versions of the stories were created as resources for her own tamaiti to introduce, build confidence and strengthen their overall connection to our Samoan culture through learning basic Gagana Samoa. Since then the Series has developed into six stories, with the first three stories to officially be launched in July 2019.
Based on relatable everyday contexts, each story is filled with engaging Gagana Samoa learning opportunities for all tamaiti and can be used to introduce or develop understanding of basic Gagana Samoa concepts. The stories also provide a tangible resource for our fanau to support the development of Gagana Samoa within their own fanau and are easy resources for all faia'oga to use and develop their own confidence when exploring basic Gagana Samoa.
