Philippine Folktales

By Joanne Marie Igoy-Escalona

“The folktales are appropriate in terms of language because the mother-tongue is used in narrating/reading them. Studies have proven that learners who begin in their mother tongue have more efficient cognitive development and are better prepared for more cognitively demanding subject matter. They tend to be smarter if they start education using their mother tongue.”
