Teacher's Manual contains recommendations to teachers about how to work with the course, lesson plans, explanations of grammar in English, mirroring the grammar explanations from the Workbook, as well as all the texts and exercises (with answers) from the Workbook. This Teacher's Manual Step 1 is a companion book and provides instructions and explanations to anyone who would like to teach Russian using the Russian Step By Step (RSBS) for Children Workbook 1 (Step 1). This Step consists of 6 lessons. The manual guides you through the explanations of the reading rules in Russian, basic grammar structures and provides you with a lesson structure. This first step of the Series focuses on teaching reading Russian while introducing some basics of grammar and vocabulary. The letters are NOT introduced in the alphabetical order but in the sequence that allows students to start reading from the very first page. ATTENTION: this Manual complements Workbook 1 of the RSBS for Children series - this level ( Step 1) - is just a variation of the Reading Russian for Children Total Beginner Workbook. If you already used that book - please start with Step 2 of this series. If you are working with complete beginners or someone who knows some Russian but can not read or write in Russian - Step 1 ( Workbook and Teacher's Manual) is a perfect place to start! To begin teaching you need to get this manual AND the Student Workbook 1. If you want to make your lesson planning even easier, look for the Games and the Illustrations supplements. The full set for this step 1 consists of the Student Workbook 1 (with free digital download), Teacher's Manual 1, Games 1 and Digital Slides 1. The set will provide 6 complete and comprehensive lessons for a group, private, in person or online class. You can be a teacher, a parent, grandparent or a friend who wants to teach Russian to children - this Manual will help you do it. The core concept of the book is to select a limited amount of vocabulary, phrases and grammar and introduce them to the student through playful learning. Repetition and working with the material given selected for each lesson, until it is internalized, before moving on to the next lesson will help your student feel confident and successful.
