Publisher's Synopsis
This colorful book is created specifically for the youngest readers by a linguist who holds a Ph.D., and is a Mom to a five-year-old. Children`s books in Russian available for the youngest readers tend to leave the child with a sense of frustration given the overwhelming amount of the text that the child is not yet capable of assimilating. Combining her vast knowledge of language acquisition and literature, and following the needs of her own child, Liana S. launched a series of books for children who are learning to read in Russian. In Liana's books -unlike in others- words are not divided into syllables, but rather consist of one, two or three syllables, which keeps the child engaged in the reading process and allows for a better understanding of the text. Short sentences are typed in large fonts on a white background for easy reading. Such presentation not only allows the child to remain interested in the reading process, but also promotes a sense of fulfillment and confidence in one`s accomplishments, and further cultivates the love for reading. In addition to a story for independent reading, this book includes illustrations for coloring and interesting activities that promote the comprehensive development of the child. By performing these tasks, your child will play with letters, colors and numbers, as well as learn to analyze, compare, discuss and explain. While your child will perform some of these activities independently, others allow for interaction with the parent or caregiver. Aimed both at monolingual and bilingual children, this book will involve your child in the learning process through play, and will keep him or her entertained for hours!
