Book Club: Speech · Logic · Maths · Neuro-games
Working on speech development and expanding vocabulary. As a mother and as a teacher of Russian as a foreign language, I know well what needs extra attention — word endings, prepositions, prefixed and unprefixed verbs. We work through all of this through play. We also cover arithmetic basics and develop memory, logic, and attention. Phonemic awareness, neuro-games, emotional intelligence — everything a small person needs when facing the not-so-easy task of mastering two or more language systems, often with limited resources: rare trips to the country of the language being learned, difficulty finding good books for a home library, and not enough time for mums who are already stretched thin.
Each session we read one book — with pauses to think and discuss, we act out the plots of favourite stories, and have smart conversations about everything under the sun. Gentle work on vocabulary and retelling skills, then we consolidate what we've read with a craft (you can actually touch the story!). A short break, active maths games and exercises for attention and logic, and finally — pronunciation work, neuro warm-ups, ball games or board games tied to the lesson theme. Eight books — eight sessions. This course will also gradually prepare children for reading and writing.
