Book

"This Primary Phonics workbook introduces early learners to the printed letters and phonics of the Plains Cree language using Standard Roman Orthography (SRO). Each letter or sound is presented across two pages with arrows showing stroke direction, an example Plains Cree word, and a simple illustration. Learners trace each form using: 3 lines for uppercase, 3 lines for lowercase, and 2 lines for both cases together. This resource focuses on writing practice only. It does not include pronunciation or instructions—just structured repetition supported by visuals and word examples to build letter recognition and handwriting confidence."-- Publisher's website.
