Our approach to Hiragana
There is romaji support provided until the end of Chapter 3 in Peko Peko book 1. After this, there is romaji provided on the grammar explanations and vocabulary lists in each chapter. This is to support and include students who for whatever reason have not yet mastered their hiragana.
Hiragana is not introduced gradually; instead, teachers can choose how to teach it. Early chapters include romaji to support beginners, and a hiragana section offers writing practice. Online reading activities are available in both kana and romaji to suit all student levels and save teachers time.
