Albert Einstein once said :
“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” 

This is 6 week Course . There is NO LIVE MEETINGS.

I will be reading Traditional Folk Russian Fairytales and showing paper and felt theater.
I will be telling the stories in Russian language and translating into English, while showing the illustrations.

I will be explaining what is going on and will be asking questions that will help the child to grasp the idea of the story overall and guess the meaning of particular words on their own.
This method is perfect for developing cognitive skills.

Each week I will be giving a handout with coloring pages illustrating the fairytale. Each coloring page will also have a new vocabulary spelled in Cyrillic and Latin letters (for better visual memory).
The handout will also include a small paper craft with the character from the fairytale.

The learner is encouraged to post a video of trying out new vocabulary and using it with the paper actor.

I will be checking each video and correcting the pronunciation. I will be cheering and encouraging the student, and other students are welcome to cheer for their classmates!

 

The child will learn new vocabulary, will learn Russian Culture and  will develop a skill of understanding longer sentences even if they don’t understand singled out words.
