About the notebook
Do you want your child not only to learn to read, but also to love reading from the very first book? Our primer is so interesting that the children themselves ask their parents to study! The notebook is suitable for children who have never learned to read before. Fascinating stories and tasks will interest the child, help them learn to read simple syllables and remember the most common letters.
Who can use our primer?
-
You can start learning to read if the child pronounces the sounds correctly and his speech is well developed. If your child has pronunciation defects, first work with a speech therapist.
-
No preparation needed! You can use the primer even if the child does not know a single letter.
-
Most children are not ready to read before the age of 5.
But this does not mean that a child should be able to read at 5 or 6 years old. Remember that your task is not to teach the child to read as early as possible, but to instill in the child a love of reading for life! If the child is having a very difficult time, postpone classes and try again after a few months. When a child is ready to read, classes are given to him with some difficulty, but without stress and coercion.
Interesting stories
The main characters of our notebook are the boy Borya and his sister Nina. When dad is a zoologist and mom is an engineer, you never get bored! Together with Nina and Borya, we will go camping, grow little dinosaurs from eggs, and even go back in time in a time machine! It will be interesting!
Reading together
When a child has just started learning to read, he needs to practice reading syllables many times. But it's boring! Here's what we came up with to make our primer fun from the first page:
-
Lots of pictures.
They help you get interested in history. It's impossible to guess from the pictures how it will end! -
The parent reads the beginning of the story and captions. Reading with mom is much more pleasant and easier than reading everything alone!
-
The child reads only colored letters. Black text is read by the parent. Gradually, there is more and more colored text, and the child will imperceptibly move on to independent reading.
-
Some words in the primer are replaced by a picture. Do not read the hint right away, let the child try to guess the missing word.
Syllabic Method
This is how we will study letters and syllables:
-
First, let's get acquainted with the vowels: I, A, I, U, O.
-
Then we will study simple syllables with the most common consonants: MA, MI, MU, MO, BA, BI, BU, BO, and so on. By repeating the same syllables many times, the child will learn to automatically combine letters into syllables.
-
Then we will work out the complex letters I and E and syllables with them. These letters are read differently depending on the place in the word, for example: "ball", "pit", "mine".
-
At the end of the notebook, the child will practice reading closed syllables, such as AM, MAL, and so on.
This technique was developed in collaboration with speech therapist Natalya Ivanovna Vashchenko. It is well suited for those children who find it difficult to learn how to connect letters into syllables.
Gradual complication
There are only 6 colored letters on the first page. Gradually, the amount of text that the child reads increases. By the end of the notebook, the child will read more than 100 letters on one page.
We tried to make the complexity in the notebook grow gradually. At the end of the notebook, some syllables already familiar to the child are printed in black. This is done so that the child does not get tired.
Some statistics
To memorize letters and syllables well, you need to read them many times. For example, in the first step, a child will encounter the letter A more than 450 times, and the syllable BUT more than 60 times. This guarantees excellent results!
Interactive tasks
There are many tasks in the notebook in which your child will participate. For example, you will need to make a map of the animals of the world together with a zoologist - Nina and Borya's dad!
Many stickers
There are two sheets of stickers in the notebook, and there are 200 of them in total! Stickers not only help maintain interest in the work. In our primer, they are needed for tasks and games, for example:
-
glue captions to pictures
-
read what the hero is talking about and glue this item on the picture
-
glue what the character said
Spring
The spring is needed so that the child is not distracted by the next page.
And also an open notebook with a spring lies flat and does not bend. It's comfortable!
And at the end - a medal!
The first book you read is a holiday for both the child and the parent! A large medal awaits you on the sticker page.
Helpful hints
How to work with this notebook
- You don't have to memorize all the letters of the alphabet at once. This notebook is designed so that the child will be able to consistently memorize the most common letters. The child will be able to master the remaining letters of the alphabet by studying the workbook “I can read by myself! 2 step.
- It is better to study little by little, but regularly. It is important to stop before the child gets tired or loses interest.
- The primer must be read in order, since the stories contain only those syllables that the child has already met.
- Do not teach your child to read consonants separately. Name the whole syllables at once, for example [on].
If you do say a consonant, do not pronounce it with an overtone of a vowel. For example, say [n], not [pe], [m], not [em]. - In this primer, the child reads only colored text. Red usually marks the syllables or letters that are studied in this task. Purple indicates previously learned syllables. Black text in character lines is read by the parent. Speak it slowly, running your pencil or finger under the letters and syllables you read. So the child will passively memorize them.
- If the child already knows how to read some syllables, he may want to read the black text in the lines. This is very good for training, but not required.
What else to read?
-
In our series there are notebooks "I can read myself!" 1 step, 2 step and 3 step.
-
You can start or continue training on the set of "Boletters!". "Boletters!" - this is a whole mini-library of the first books to read. Includes 33 books. In each child will get acquainted with one letter.
-
Continuation of "Bobukv" - a set of "Boboskazy!". These are 33 funny fairy tales with which the child will practice reading complex letters and their combinations.
-
You can continue learning with the Bob Jokes set - this is a mini-library of 33 books to improve your speed and reading technique.
Which manual is the best to start with?
There is no single answer to this question, because the choice of methods for teaching reading depends on the child:
-
Boletters use a more traditional letter method of teaching. In each book, the child gets acquainted with one letter. The books have simple illustrations, short phrases per page, so the set is suitable for younger children (from 4 years old).
-
The first step of the primer is richer in content, it has more text on the page and more active tasks with stickers. This usually increases the child's interest in reading, but for some children, such richness can scare away - it may seem difficult.
The notebook is well suited for children who find it difficult to learn how to connect letters into syllables. According to the notebook “I can read myself! Stage 1" can be used by children over 5 years old.
We recommend that you try both and choose the one that your child likes best.

About the notebook
Teaching a child to read confidently for school is important for many parents. But do not forget that reading is one of the greatest pleasures in our lives. Therefore, our main task is to make children fall in love with reading from the first pages and for life!
Who can use our primer?
-
You can start using this notebook if your child already knows some letters and can read simple syllables. If the child has not learned to read before, then it is better to start with the notebook “I can read myself! 1 step.
-
You can start learning to read if the child pronounces the sounds correctly and his speech is well developed. If your child has pronunciation defects, first work with a speech therapist.
-
Most children are not ready to read before the age of 5.
But this does not mean that a child should be able to read at 5 or 6 years old. Remember that your task is not to teach the child to read as early as possible, but to instill in the child a love of reading for life! If the child is having a very difficult time, postpone classes and try again after a few months. When a child is ready to read, classes are given to him with some difficulty, but without stress and coercion.
Interesting stories
Meet the new heroes of the primer! Do you want to visit the ancient world and meet the cave girl and her family? How about sailing with Pirate Pete and his crew? Or brew a potion with a little sorceress? Onward to new adventures!
Reading together
When a child first learns to read, he cannot read a long story. But reading individual words is not interesting! Here's what we came up with to make our primer fun from the first page:
-
Lots of pictures. They help you get interested in history.
It's impossible to guess from the pictures how it will end! -
The parent reads the beginning of the story and captions. Reading with mom is much more pleasant and easier than reading everything alone!
-
The child reads the lines of the characters. This approach brings the child closer to the heroes of the story and helps to feel their emotions.
Gradual complication
We tried to increase the complexity in the notebook gradually. At the beginning of the notebook, the child will read about 30 letters per page. And on the last pages of letters there will already be about 200 and the words will be more difficult!
About the method
The task of the second stage of the primer is to memorize all the letters of the alphabet and proceed to independent reading of any words and short sentences.
The first pages of a notebook may seem too simple to a child if he has already passed the first step of the primer.
Here's why we did it:
-
Words are no longer divided into syllables by color, so they are more difficult to read than words in the first step.
-
The child will encounter more complex words in which several consonants follow each other, for example "fear".
-
The second stage is also designed for children who have not studied the first stage or have been studying for a long time, so they should be able to gradually recall the previously learned letters.
Some statistics
To memorize letters well, you need to read them many times. For example, in the second stage, the child will encounter the letter U more than 500 times, the letter Ш more than 100 times, and the soft sign almost 70 times. This guarantees excellent results!
Interactive tasks
There are many tasks in the notebook in which your child will participate, for example:
-
Help solve the encrypted note.
To do this, replace the letter C in the words with the letter G, and the letter H with the letter L. -
Pick up the words to the song in rhyme.
-
Cross out the wrong ingredients from the porridge recipe.
Many stickers
There are two sheets of stickers in the notebook, and there are 230 of them in total! Stickers not only help maintain interest in the work. In our primer, they are needed for tasks and games, for example:
-
glue captions to pictures
-
read what you need to stick on the picture
-
collect words from letters
Spring
The spring is needed so that the child is not distracted by the next page. And also an open notebook with a spring lies flat and does not bend. It's comfortable!
And at the end - a medal!
A medal with a pirate and a sorceress on the sticker page is a reward for a job well done!

When reading, do not say the name of the letter, but only the sound that it stands for. For example: [p], not [pe], [m], not [em].
-
It is very important to read the syllables together and not letter by letter. To do this, you need to pull the first sound in the syllable. If the child forgets this, remind him.
-
Be sure to praise your child! It's important to keep a positive attitude.
