This is the opening book of the Kumarodaya series, a graded Sinhala language course by L.S.E. Amararatne, whose readers have taught Sinhala to generations of children in Sri Lanka. It is published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co.
The text has been edited for present-day classrooms under the advice of a panel of scholars led by Professor Kusuma Karunaratne, with the aim of bringing the material into line with what learners now need. It is recommended as a supplementary reader in government schools and in international schools.
Buyers outside Sri Lanka should note that the book is written entirely in Sinhala, including the instructions and exercises. It assumes a reader who is working in the Sinhala script rather than approaching the language through English, so it suits children in Sinhala-medium classes, families abroad teaching Sinhala at home, and teachers who want a structured first reader for beginners in the language.
The Kumarodaya name is a familiar one in Sri Lankan schooling, and this first book is where the sequence begins.
