The author, a speech therapist with many years of experience, offers a universal technique with which you can easily teach children to read and write. The peculiarity of this technique is that first the child gets acquainted with the sounds of the language, and then with the letters. With such a sequence, the typical difficulty of combining syllables into words disappears. The exercises given in the book will teach the child to lay out words from a split alphabet, prepare his hand for writing, and give initial ideas about the grammar of the Russian language. Children will acquire the ability to language analysis and synthesis, on the basis of which a language sense will be formed in the future.
