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.

How to use the study material from this site

It is very simple, but still herewith a short guideline:
1.    Read more about this material on page English/Engleski if you want to learn more about this site and the material.

2.    Go to page Download [6-9] and click on material you want to download.
You don’t have to register to download the material.
Download is for free.
At the moment you have a choice between the material to study and learn Latin and Cyrillic alphabet (print and handwritten letters) ans solutions of the study material. Soon some othe issues will be available.

3.    When you open the material, you can print it out directly or save it.
You can print the whole material or a part of it. It can be print out in black & white or in colour. Most of the exercises is not necessary to print in colour, but children would enjoy it more.

4.    Give the printed material to the children to fill it in.
The exercises are mainly intuitive, but a small help of adults is needed (for instance, in reading the text of a problem for children who do not read yet).
Optional: The study material can be used by adults as well (e.g. adults who want to learn Cyrillic alphabet).
