To prepare your own worksheets: the Ayneha Pro font, and the transcriber that writes in AYNEHA a text typed in Latin letters.
A suggested lesson
About one hour, for a first contact with the writing system.
- Show the poster and the reading direction: everything is read from right to left, letters and digits alike.
- Read and trace the 5 vowels with the first page of the tracing workbook.
- Add a few consonants and read syllables together.
- Play a quiz out loud, as a group.
- Everyone writes their first name in AYNEHA, then creates a card with My AYNEHA card.
An activity to share
Cards made during the lesson can be submitted to the gallery, with each learner's nickname or the group's. A nice way to show the class's work.
Ask for materials or become a partner
A school, an association or a literacy centre wants to teach AYNEHA? Tell us who you are and what you need: a presentation, help to get started, or a place among the partners on this website.
The form prepares a message that you send yourself, by e-mail. The website records nothing. An organisation is only presented as a partner with its agreement.
Partners
The first schools and associations teaching AYNEHA will be presented here, with their agreement. Your organisation could be the first.
