Creative Materials
I partner with communities to design storybooks, games, flashcards, audiobooks, and interactive books with language learning and long-term language continuance at the center. Every resource is shaped by your language, cultural knowledge, and teaching traditions—created to support a range of language learners, from new learners to fluent speakers.
Books
Let’s bring your stories to the page—whether passed down by Elders or written in your own words. I collaborate with communities to create books for toddlers, teens, and adults, in your language or bilingually, with formats that reflect how your community tells and teaches.
Voices carry stories in powerful ways—especially when language learners can hear the words while following along with the text. Working together, we can create audiobooks, pairing spoken language with physical books or as digital books to access on your phone.
From push-button audiobooks to smart pens that speak when pointed at a book or poster, these tools make language learning fun and engaging. Imagine using a smart pen to explore and learn names for the landscape in your language just by pointing a talking pen at a book or map.
