Circle Books – Early Primary Readers

A set of early primary readers in the Sheshatshiu and Mushuau dialects of Innu, adapted from the Circle ESL language arts program for northern children published by Fitzhenry & Whiteside © 1993.

The Innu (print) versions were published by Mamu Tshishkutamashutau – Innu Education in collaboration with the Innu Language Project at Memorial University in 2015 and 2018.

They were revised, recorded and adapted as read-alongs in 2022-2023.
