The book "Orthodox Primer for Teaching Literacy from the Book of Hours and Psalter," prepared by Nina Orlova-Markgraf, is a supplementary home reading resource. It can be used both for extracurricular reading with the family and in Sunday school with a teacher.
In Russia, literacy was traditionally taught from the Psalter and the Book of Hours. This has profound practical and spiritual significance. A child's clear memory forever retains the first phrases they read independently. It is gratifying if a child remembers for the rest of their life, "Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked" or "Let every breath praise the Lord." These nuggets of sacred wisdom will not only help children master Russian literacy but also the moral principles by which a Christian should live.
The pages of this primer contain excerpts from the Book of Hours and Psalter, as well as a small glossary explaining obscure words. This edition contains many children's poems and riddles with Orthodox themes. The appendix includes short stories based on the Gospel. Illustrated with drawings and icons, the book will introduce children to the beauty and sublime world of Orthodox culture.
