Russian Literature for Kids: A Journey Into Storytelling

This isn't just reading – it's theater, art, and language all in one. We immerse ourselves in the world of fairy tales, stories, poems, and novellas: acting out scenes, drawing characters, and even changing the endings of stories.

The course is built on a love for words. We teach children to hear the text, feel the rhythm and intonations. Through discussions about characters, critical thinking is developed; through role-playing, confidence in speech; and through creative tasks, imagination.
We pay special attention to bilingual children: we support their active vocabulary, train grammatical structures, and teach them to express their thoughts beautifully in Russian. Literature becomes a living bridge to their native culture.
The course is suitable for children aged 4 to 18. Groups are formed by age and language proficiency level. We select works that resonate with each age group, from Chukovsky's fairy tales to the stories of Zoshchenko and Nosov.
Each lesson is a small journey: a new text, a new character, a new thought. The child leaves the lesson with something of their own – a drawing, a made-up line, or just a good mood.
