Library Sinama

A collection of kissa, books, usulan, tarasul (poems), kata-kata, tokod-tokod (riddles) and other writing in Sinama. The app includes 55 titles with 100s of pictures and also audio recordings and sound effects for 36 children's books (book ondeꞌ-ondeꞌ). Children who don't read or are still learning can listen along to narration by Philippines Department of Education teachers.

The app is only 55mb making it easy to share with others. Once installed the app is completely available for use offline making it perfect for use in remote Sama villages over the water or far from cellphone signals and internet.
