Lao Primers, Grades 1, 2, and 3. Originally published by the
Royal Lao
Government, these primers were reprinted by Pragmatics, International and are
available through the Hmong Bookstore in St. Paul, Minnesota. Since most
publications prior to 1975 and some in the diaspora use the spelling system
found in these texts, students need to be introduced to some materials written
in this system, as well as materials using the current government's spelling
system. These texts provide a basic introduction to this older system which is
still in use by many adults educated in the earlier period.
