Russian For Kids (Little Linguists)

These workbooks offer fun, light introductions to foreign languages for young kids. The purpose of the books is to get children excited about learning foreign languages by acquainting them with some of the common words or phrases as well as words from that language they may already know without even realizing they are foreign words. The worksheets cover basic concepts like numbers, colors, household objects, and family members. After children match the foreign words with their English counterparts, they'll get a chance to practice their new vocabulary by writing sentences containing the words. Most of the worksheets hold less than ten questions/words so they aren't overwhelming for students, as again, the purpose is simply to provide an introduction to the language. Pronunciation is provided in parentheses after each foreign word so you and your children can learn to say them correctly. For languages not in the "ABC" alphabet, the "Romanized" or transliterated version of the language is used. Answers are included in the back of each book. Reproducible, 32 pgs. - Melissa
