Buy Book "The Adventures of Little Goose Dan. Interesting Reading with Pictures" in Ukrainian

Everyone knows that reading is one of the most interesting activities. However, sometimes children lose interest in books before they even manage to properly learn how to read. Of course, developing the skills for fast and fluent reading requires prolonged and persistent effort. But there are ways to make this process fun and engaging. The “word-picture” principle used in the texts of this series captivates young children and turns effort into play. In such a game, letters more readily form into syllables, and syllables into words.

Moreover, the child has the opportunity to absorb the grammatical forms of their native language. Every word replaced by a picture has to be put into the correct case and number, taking into account the category of gender. Thus, even the youngest ones, who don’t yet know any letters, can “read” together with adults or older children. This kind of play awakens the desire to learn to read for real more quickly. Let us nurture this desire, for it sprouts a lifelong love of books.
