But by yourself! Stories for First Reading. Level 2

This book is designed for children who have mastered the alphabet and are taking their first steps in reading. It contains simple stories made up of words consisting of 6 letters.
Short words and uncomplicated sentences allow the young reader to move confidently, without stumbles, and focus on the main thing — the enjoyment of reading.
Funny stories with unexpected endings, cute heroes, and bright watercolor illustrations turn learning into an exciting game. The child not only practices reading skills — they immerse themselves in a world where each story brings a smile.

Even if the little one doesn’t yet know all the letters — that’s okay. Captivated by the plot, they will quickly memorize the missing ones and will joyfully return to the book again and again. Thus, reading will transform from a difficult task into a favorite activity. Your child will be proud that they managed to read a whole book!
Additionally, the collection includes recommendations for parents and tips on organizing reading.

The collection includes the stories: "Who’s There?", "Mia and Pia", "In the Fog", "Anya and Yana", "Hide and Seek", "Hryusha and Grusha", "Numbers and Letters".

How to read the book
Before reading, repeat the alphabet with the child.
Don’t rush the child and don’t prompt them on how to read unless they ask for help. They should be interested themselves in finding out how the story ends.
After the first story, move on to the next one by difficulty.
After reading the book, discuss the plot, look at and comment on the illustrations together.
Read the stories one by one, not all at once. This is necessary to maintain interest in reading and not overly tire the child.
Praise the little one even for small achievements, and tell relatives and friends about their successes.
