A first alphabet book for young children learning to read and write Sinhala. The letters are set large on the page and accompanied by colour illustrations, the standard approach for introducing a child to the Sinhala hodiya one character at a time.
The book is entirely in Sinhala. There is no English text, no transliteration and no parallel translation, so a buyer outside Sri Lanka should expect a child's primer in the script itself. That makes it suited to households where Sinhala is spoken and a parent or teacher can sit with the child and sound the letters out, and to Sri Lankan families abroad who want their children working from the same material used at home.
It is published by M. D. Gunasena & Co., a Colombo publishing house long associated with Sinhala-language schoolbooks and children's educational titles. Books of this kind are usually a child's earliest encounter with formal letters, used before and alongside the first year of schooling, and the design reflects that — big characters, strong colour, little else on the page to distract.
