HIRAGANA+HELP

// Konnichiwa!! // // During this term The Grade 5/6 students will begin to learn/revise HIRAGANA. // // Learning hiragana is the first step in learning how to read and write Japanese. // // Revising the characters at home will benefit your child greatly. In order to assist your child at home I have listed some websites that I believe to be very useful. // **// *We will focus on 5 hiragana each fortnight. //** **// (a-o ka-ko sa-so ta-to na-no etc) //**
