Marshallese and Micronesian Childrenʻs Language and Culture in the Diaspora: Information and Resources

Marshallese language and Marshallese content books for the classroom

Elementary School:

  • The Marshallese Manit website has a list of childrenʻs books in Marshallese, and relevant to the RMI. You can download and print some of them, others need to be bought.
  • The Chikin Melele website is a newsletter about NWA written in Marshallese and English. These can be printed.
  • PREL (Pacific Resources in Education) has a bunch of language cards (information about different Pacific languages with common greetings that can be printed on a card. They also have Bilingual Texts in Chuukese, another Micronesian language.
  • Bess Press has a bunch of childrenʻs books and Bilingual Marshallese Readers. A lot of the bilingual books are in Hawaiʻian, but they also have some Marshallese (and maybe other Pacific languages).
  • The Unbound Bookmaker project has a bunch of books written by school children in the RMI. I donʻt know if they are all in Marshallese, (they may be in English) but they are great resources. Although the links on the above page are broken, if you type the names of the books into Amazon you will find them.
