About this ebook
My First Book of Numbers
A picture book for early learners to learn numbers from zero to ten. The book is structured in three ways: (1) Beautiful photographs allow children to count from zero to twenty; (2) Children learn the Arabic numbers for zero to twenty; (3) because the Yoruba counting system has twenty as its base, the appendix of the book explains the structure of the numbers eleven to twenty. Yoruba and English words are on all pages for children to learn preverbal word recognition skills. Older children can also benefit from whole word recognition. Arabic numerals, a system understood universally, is provided as well.
Pictures of tangible everyday foods and items are suitable for children ages 0 – 2 to grasp basic number sense and concepts.
Arabic numerals as well as the Yoruba and English words for such numbers are appropriate for ages 3 - 5.
Word recognition and mathematical concepts (e.g, addition, subtraction) are appropriate for ages 5 and up.
Book 1 of the Ata Yoruba series, the Appendix includes a 0-10 chart, an 11-20 chart, examples of numerals illuminating the structure or pattern deriving the Yoruba word for the numeral, and words to help the child count by 10s to 100.
Author
Ata Agoro
Ata Agoro has three children under the age of five. Frustrated with the limited bilingual resources she could find in Yoruba and English to read to her children outside of Yorubaland, she rolled up her sleeves and embarked upon creating them. Ata means "pepper," and she plans to spice things up beyond pepper soup! The avatar at the left not only spells out her first name but also reflects one of her favorite Yoruba songs about an orange tree, under which children are seated, playful and happy. The T stands erect as a trunk and reaches toward the skies tall as a tree. However, the A at either side is for Apple, though, not Orange. A is also for All. Let's All enjoy All the fruits of our labors. On the lookout to create even more Yoruba-English bilingual books for the early learner, Ata is embarrassed to share that she can only tolerate occasional spices in her foods and would rather her peppers be mild. Can you do her a favor? Please leave a review and sign up for her newsletter: http://eepurl.com/X53HD. Have suggestions for other books? Message Ata!
