Why it is important to pay attention to the Russian language now
A lot of parents think: «We speak Russian at home - so the language will be preserved.».
But with the mother tongue the “learn it once” principle doesn't work.”.
If the child:
- learn in another language
- communicates with friends in a manner that is not Russian
- watches movies and reads in the language of the country of residence
Russian language is gradually being displaced and remains at the everyday level.
Frequently Asked Questions
What age is this checklist appropriate for?
The checklist is designed for children from 5 to 12 years old. The words are selected to suit both preschoolers and younger pupils - they can be used both to check and to expand their vocabulary.
Will the checklist work if we speak Russian at home?
Yes. Even if Russian is spoken in the family, a child's vocabulary is often still everyday. The checklist helps to see which basic words the child really knows, and which ones the child only understands or does not use.
What does A1 level mean?
A1 is the basic language level. The checklist contains the most necessary words for everyday communication: home, school, food, emotions, actions. This is the foundation without which it is difficult to develop the language further.
How to use the checklist in practice?
You can go through it in the form of a game: ask the child to name words, make sentences with them, mark familiar and unfamiliar ones. You don't have to do it all at once - 10-15 minutes at a time is better.
Is it really free?
Yes, the checklist can be downloaded for free in PDF format. You can save it to your device or print it out and use it in the format you prefer.
What should you do if your child knows few words?
This is normal for children who grow up in a different language environment. The checklist helps to notice gaps in time and understand where to start developing Russian next - without pressure and stress.
