School is in English. Achchi's video calls are in Sinhala.
Children growing up in Melbourne, London or Toronto pick up English fast. Sinhala needs a little help at home, and good, modern materials are hard to find outside Sri Lanka. So we made some.
Made for parents, too
English instructions, a simple sound guide and the meaning of every word, even if your own Sinhala is rusty.
Ten minutes a day
Each page is one small win: say the sound, trace the letter, trace the word. Little and often works best.
Print-friendly
Mostly black-and-white line art, so it's easy on ink. Slip pages into a plastic sleeve to reuse with a whiteboard marker.

Good to know
What age is it for?
Children aged about 3 to 7 who are starting their Sinhala letters, especially families living outside Sri Lanka. Older beginners enjoy it too.
My own Sinhala isn't great. Can I still use it?
Yes. Every page has English instructions, a simple English sound guide and the meaning of each word, so you can learn alongside your child.
What exactly do I get?
A download link by email straight after checkout, with the workbook as PDFs in A4 (Australia, UK, NZ, Europe, Asia) and US Letter (USA, Canada). Nothing is posted.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes, as many times as you like for your own family. Many parents put a page in a plastic sleeve and practise with a whiteboard marker.
Can I share it with friends or my class?
Please don't share the file. Sales are what pay for the next book. Teachers, Dhamma schools and Sinhala classes can get a school licence.
What if it isn't right for us?
Email hello@hodiyakids.com within 14 days and we'll refund you in full. No awkward questions.
Who makes Hodiya Kids?
Hodiya Kids is a small project based in Sri Lanka. We design the pages with the help of AI tools, and a native Sinhala speaker checks every letter and word before a book is released. If you ever spot a mistake, tell us. We'll fix it and send you the updated file free.
