This document consists of 45 charts; each one contains a picture, a word, and a sound within that word. For example, a picture of a frog, “ts’aleh,” then “ts’”.

Foreword: This is one of a series of experimental texts and learning units prepared for use in the Chief Jimm Soldat School in Fort Franklin. If this material works well there, we hope it can serve as a model for other teachers of Athapaskan languages elsewhere. We would be delighted to hear of it being used, adapted or even copied by other Athapaskan teachers. (S.T. Mallon, Linguistic Programmes Division, Department of Education, Northwest Territories).
