In compiling this ABC book, the author drew on his 30 years of experience as a speech therapist, which for the first time allowed him to combine literacy instruction with the prevention of writing errors that arise during school age. The ABC book is based on the traditional approach to teaching reading in Russian, complementing this traditional approach with an original method of teaching children to recognize letter combinations as integral graphic elements—the syllable as a unit of reading (and later writing). The ABC book is not intended to be entertaining or entertaining; its purpose is to ensure that children master reading technique as quickly as possible, which should bring them joy and pleasure as a reward for their efforts. We hope that our children, having mastered reading without any particular difficulty, will pick up a book as a cultural tool and a source of knowledge.
