Rate this book
The Tuttle Tagalog for Kids Flash Cards kit is an introductory language learning tool especially designed to help children from preschool through early elementary level acquire basic words, phrases, and sentences in Tagalog in a fun and easy way.

The flashcards can be used as a learning tool in a classroom setting, at home, or anywhere that learning takes place. The set contains a total of 64 words organized into 8 thematic categories, including: My Family, Colors, Numbers, Animals, Food, My Body, Clothes, and My Day. All of the words are illustrated—the pictures serve as effective visual aids to help children learn and remember each word's meaning. Words often reflect cultural objects and items and can be studied in any order. Learners may focus on one theme at a time or mix them up for a little more variety.

Also included in this kit is an audio CD which contains files of the words spoken—pronounced twice—once at a slow speed and then again at a normal speed for easier learning. Each word is also used in sample sentences—sentences that children would use in everyday life. Songs and other activities are also included on the free audio CD. Finally, the kit also includes a wall chart featuring the front of each card for kids to review and a learning guide for teachers and/or parents with tips, activities and more!

The Tuttle Tagalog cards are a learning resource for parents and teachers for teaching Tagalog to young children. Tagalog is the basis of the Filipino language.

The kit comes with 64 flash cards, an audio CD to listen to the words being said as well as songs in Tagalog, and a wall chart fort he most commonly used words and counting numbers.

The cards are straight forward and engaging. They have a photo of the object on one side. The back has the word in English, the pronunciation in Tagalog, and commonly used full Tagalog phrases that contain that word. For example: the word "mother." on the back of the card it also teaches you how to say "I love my mom" as well as "my mom is a teacher." The cards are numbered as well as color coded into categories such as "my family."

The one downfall of the cards that I found was that it is hard to tell in some of the photos, what exactly you are supposed to name. Using the example of "mother" again: the mother is standing there holding a tray of cupcakes. She is holding them out, almost as if offering you some. If I were to see that photo and not know the answer that is already on the back, I would definitely assume I was supposed to use the translation for cupcakes.

I found this learning set to be very helpful and useful for a parent or teacher trying to teach their child Tagalog. They also would be helpful for an adult who is trying to learn the basics of the language.
