Central Arrernte translations of Honey Ant Readers

Shirley Turner stepped in at the last minute to record the Central Arrernte translations of the HAR which Benedict Stevens did for us. Shirley is also an accomplished writer, like her famous mother, MK Turner. Thank you for making time for us with NO notice on Friday, Shirley!
Shirley is a teacher, a mother and a poet who speaks many languages from Central Australia, as well as the Top End. She is a traditional landowner from Sandy Bore, NE of Alice Springs. Shirley believes that, as well as knowing English, Arrernte children need to be strong in reading and writing their own language. This is important because, as leaders one day, they will need to be able to do this.
