Summary "Away to School: 'Ólta'góó" by Cecil S. King is an educational reader designed for Navajo adolescents, published in the mid-20th century. This book is part of a larger initiative to provide appropriate reading material for young Navajo learners who are transitioning to a new cultural and educational environment. The likely topic of the book revolves around the experiences and daily life of a Navajo boy attending school away from his home. The narrative introduces readers to the life of a young Navajo boy as he navigates his school environment, including activities like cleaning his room, taking a shower, and eating various meals. The text is bilingual, featuring both Navajo and English, which supports the learning of the English language through relatable content and experiences. The young boy shares his daily routines, friendships, and the happiness he finds in learning, ultimately highlighting his connection to both his heritage and the new challenges he faces as a student away from his home. The charming illustrations complement the text, making the book not just an educational tool but an engaging reading experience for its audience. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
