Teaching Filipino to our dear Sam, who is half British and half Filipino is quite an easy task. Her reading level is for a 9-10 year old, based on the reading program Eye Level, which we once visited to see an ex colleague. Sam was asked to read the booklet of a student and my friend was quite surprised that she was so advanced!
So what I did for her worksheets in Filipino was to make alphabet cut out books and started with the patinig or vowels. I made the first set only in Filipino but as I was teaching her, I was or she was translating it to English! So what I did was to put the English in Italics below the Filiipino words to make it easier for her to remember.
Here are the snapshots of the interactive alphabet cut out books.

I have included two worksheets per patinig or vowel for further practice. Here are some samples:

On our first week she was able to spell all the Filipino patinig Aa! She even answered a question I asked in English in Filipino! We were studying salty foods and I asked her give me an example of a salty food. She answered, "Asin!" (salt) I gave a huge laugh!
