Ćirilijada 1 (English version)

After Latin letters have been learnt, it comes a set of study material where the Cyrillic letters are introduced. In Ćirilijada 1 children are getting familiar with the print (block) letters of Cyrillic alphabet.

First, the letters that are the same in both alphabets are introduced followed by the letters that are similar to Latin alphabet. Finally, the  Cyrillic letters that are completely different from Latin letters are presented.

Text of an exercise is written in Latin letters that children could read it on their own. After all Cyrillic letters are introduced, text of a problem has been written in Cyrillic letters. In that way, children can also extra practise reading of the text Cyrillic alphabet.

Grammar is simplified. Grammar definition are reduced to minimum and the focus is on a use of the words as well as the grammar rules as it has been done in modern books for studying foreign languages. This approach has been used to make the study material more practical.

As in the previous material in which the Latin letters have been practised, the writing, reading, text understanding and drawing logical conclusions has been done here as well.

Concept of Latinijada 1-4 and Ćirilijada 1-4

A few words about the concept of the study material: First, Latin letters are introduced in the first four issues Latinijada 1-4. After that the Cyrillic letters are introduced in Ćirilijada 1-4. The reason for this approach is given on page English/Engleski.

The print (block) letters are introduced in Latinijada 1-2 and Ćirilijada 1-2, whereas the handwritten letters are exercised in Latinijada 3-4 and Ćirilijada 3-4. This is specified as well in the title of each material (see Download [6-9]).

In the issues Latinijada 1&3 and Ćirilijada 1&3 the letters are introduced. On the page where a new letter has been introduced and practised, there is one extra exercise with this letter. These exercises differ from page to page to make the material more interesting for children. After introduction of several letters, there is ‘Izazov’ (‘Challenge’). The exercises in ‘Izazov’ are made to practice the  letters learnt.

The letters learned are exercised further in Latinijada 2&4 and Ćirilijada 2&4.

The idea of the whole study material was to work with terms and sentences familiar to children and to avoid uninteresting repeating of the same exercises. The exercises are designed to be in line with modern developments (e.g. mentioning SMS etc.). More about the adopted concept you can find on page  English/Engleski.
