Sent by Ruslania.com promptly from Helsinki, Finland.Description:The 1st class textbook was designed especially for Russian bilingual children. It is built on several principles.

Well structured lessons. 6 pages are devoted to each lesson and they are all similar, with the same set of exercises. Once pupils have understood the lesson structure, they know "what to expect". This gives them confidence in handling the material. And it helps save energy. As we know while children are only getting used to learning activity, their energy quickly goes exhausted.
In one lesson there are many different types of exercises that allow children to change the type of activity. It is this versatile approach that allows children to learn without being stressed or bored.
The vocabulary used in the manual contains words from the everyday dictionary. You will not meet here "izbushka", "samovar" and "garmoshka", but you will meet "rap" and "borscht", "sharpener" and "grandmother", "slide" and "snowballs". Many words and pictures are repeated several times in the book. This way children learn new words better (if they did not know them), and/or remember how they are spelled.
There is a plenty of bright, modern illustrations. This also helps kids to keep their attention during classes.

The structure of the book.
Each lesson is 6 pages long, and there is one grammar topic and one vocabulary theme.
Pages have different colors.
Green - exercises are performed in chorus.
Yellow and orange color - the joint work of the teacher and children.
Light blue - possible independent (home) work of children. These are usually writing exercises. Each lesson ends with two light blue pages for eventual home work.
