Nana Dig Margaret James, Honey Ant Education, 2012 - Aboriginal Australian English This program includes a series of Honey Ant Readers, written by Margaret James, illustrated by Wendy Paterson and edited by Rosemary Butler, which were developed in consultation with Indigenous elders in Alice Springs, and with their full support. The HAR program was motivated by a desire to improve the literacy levels amongst Indigenous students, particularly those in remote areas, and to compensate for the lack of appropriate early reading material for them. Its purpose is to assist Indigenous-language speakers (including Aboriginal English speakers) in Central Australia with their early print literacy learning. |
