E Ho'omau! (To preserve; to learn from the past and perpetuate the good) is a curriculum development project funded under the Native Hawaiian Education Program of the U.S. Department of Education (http: //www.ed.gov/programs/nathawaiian/index.html). It begins with the creation of three high quality animated versions of traditional Hawaiian legends, designed to be engaging and culturally appropriate. These are complemented by standards-based written materials and teacher training activities to strengthen language arts and science achievement for Native Hawaiian 4th graders. E Ho'omau! addresses the need to improve the literacy skills of students of Hawaiian ancestry by integrating evidence-based educational approaches with a visually-rich learning system based on Hawaiian legends. The idea is to elevate student motivation and enhance self-confidence while providing meaningful learning opportunities.

Strategies include the repetition of catchy songs for important concepts, programs that are segmented, the use of self-critique after writing practice, and a review segment at the end of each program-all presented with a large dose of humor. Another well-proven strategy for learners is that they are encouraged to trace the shape that is being introduced with their finger in the air or on their desktops while students watch Bartleby form the letters
