This Level 2 kit moves your child from recognizing the Armenian alphabet to writing with control and reading a real story, with three books that build on each other.

What's in the kit

• Armenian Alphabet Workbook, Level 2: letters in words, with tracing that fades so your child writes more on their own each page.
• Armenian Alphabet Coloring Book, Level 2: every letter paired with a word and a picture to color, so vocabulary grows while the letters stick.
• Badik Badik, Level 2 reader: an original farm story about Nairi feeding the animals, written in short, repeating sentences that early readers can follow by themselves. 24 pages, 6 x 9 inches.

How to use it

Alternate between the workbook and the coloring book during the week, and save Badik Badik for reading together at bedtime. When your child starts reading a page ahead of you, you'll know the kit has done its job.

Who it's for

• Children ages 5 to 7 who already recognize the Armenian letters
• The step after our Level 1 kit or a first year of Armenian school
• Home learning and classroom use
• Parents who don't read Armenian: English hints are included throughout

A gift that fits

Relatives often ask what to get a child who already has the alphabet books. This is the answer. Three books, one clear step forward, in the dialect their family speaks.

Choose your dialect

Eastern Armenian is spoken in Armenia today. Western Armenian is spoken across much of the diaspora. Not sure which? Ask your child's school or a grandparent which one your family speaks.

What comes next

When your child finishes this kit, the Read and Write in Armenian 4-Book Set covers the full alphabet in depth, and our Level 3 readers keep the stories coming.
