Anishinaabemowin Maajaamigad: Learning Ojibwe
By Howard Kimewon and Margaret Noori
They are both teachers who specialize in helping students become speakers of Anishinaabemowin. Their goal is for readers to understand each and every word and begin to use this beautifully complex language.
It is set in the 1940’s on Manitoulin Island, ‘the place of the spirits.’ This story celebrates veterans who gave their lives to end a World War, and the survivors who built a hockey arena to help young people understand the importance of memories and community.
Listen here to the story found in the book. It is in the Ojibway language, Anishinaabemowin, and narrated by one of the authors – Margaret Noori.

Over the past years, literacy practitioners have been asking for a tool that blends various assessment approaches into an easy to use format so that learners working on improving their reading and writing can be assessed at the level or grade of their choice, whether it is within the LBS Skills Levels, the Essential Skills Levels, or the Ontario Common Curriculum Grades 1-10.
Ningwakwe Learning Press has developed this Assessment and Evaluation Matrix in order to provide a graphic representation of the LBS Skills levels in comparison to the Essential Skills and the Ontario Common Curriculum. Learners and practitioners will be able to see what Reading levels learners may be at in all three areas.
