Lesson Plan: Teaching Russian Letters to Children (in English)
Quite frequently when I talk to teacher I am asked about lesson plans. I think that having lesson plans to all our books is a wonderful ides, and at some point it will come to fruition. However at this point I can not create lesson plans for all our books. I did create two short lesson plans with a corresponding video that should hopefully give you some ideas for lesson plans and how to use our books.
This informaiton should be sufficient for about two 45-minute classes. If the classes are shorter, you might have enough for 3 or more classes.
I hope this lesson plan will be helpful, but please sen me your questions, what worked and what did not, what you did differently and I will be happy to reply.
