Orthodox primer. The book for family reading.

From the preface to the edition: The primer is a special book, it differs from other books. The Primer will teach you to read and become the first book you will read on your own. But our ABC is also not like the others - it is Orthodox.

You will meet here not only familiar words that you often hear in conversations and you can easily read it yourself, but also unfamiliar, and for many children completely unknown. Here are, for example: an angel, a saint, a liturgy, a sacrament, Holy Communion, a confession. Read and understand them will not be so easy. Therefore, before adults read you fascinating stories about them. While leafing through the primer, pay attention to the fact that there are special pages here that you read by mom, dad, grandmother or grandfather. And when you learn these words and understand what they mean, you can easily read them on the next page of the book.

By this letter you not only learn to read, learn a lot of new words and poems, you will learn what Christian faith is, what a temple differs from an ordinary house, what is a Christian church calendar and Orthodox holidays ... And yet you will get acquainted not only with Russian words, but also Church Slavonic, you will learn how to read in Church Slavonic.

That's how much you learn when you read our ABC from beginning to end!
