Vocabulary is basic to a child's development of intelligence and achievement. This picture vocabulary book provides a very enjoyable and effective means for teaching basic Hawaiian and English vocabulary to children and adults, using the cross-age learning method. The format in which parts of a whole picture are analyzed and syntehsized separately, is far more effective than other picture or dictionary methods for teaching vocabulary.

Over 850 words to describe everyday items in the Hawaiian language are offered with simple pictures that children can color in and learn from. Translated by Ni‘ihau native and Hokule‘a captain Kawika Kapahulehua, children and adults alike will be able to develop their Hawaiian vocabulary with this excellent introduction to the language.
