ABC Book. Combining Traditional and Original Speech Therapy Methodology

In compiling the ABC Book, the author utilized his 30 years of experience as a speech therapist, which for the first time allowed for the combination of literacy training with the prevention of writing errors that occur at school age. The ABC Book is based on a traditional approach to teaching reading in Russian, supplementing the traditional method with an original way of teaching the child to understand letter combinations as a cohesive graphic element – the syllable as a unit of reading (and subsequently writing). The ABC Book does not have an entertaining or engaging character; its task is to ensure that the child masters the technique of reading as quickly as possible, which should bring joy and pleasure to children as a reward for their effort. We hope that our children, having mastered reading without much difficulty, will take a book in their hands as a tool of culture and a source of knowledge.
