This year our main goal is to make smooth transition from learning letters to reading, understanding and retelling short stories. We will learn basic rules of Russian language and will build up the ability to create short phrases and dialogs. In this course we will use the book \'Reading with big letters\' by Olesya Zhukova.
Students will be assigned appropriate homework, which includes reading short stories, answering questions, learning basic rules, doing simple grammar exercises, listening recorded fairy tales and memorizing pieces of poetry.
