Russian reading skills. teaching children.

[Melissa Smith]

There is a bilingual version of Winnie-the-Pooh that I once ordered 
through a children's book site. This was 4-5 years ago. I'll try to 
find it for anyone interested.

month in Russia would be great, as well as the summer camp with such a 
great program,  but not feasible at this time. My son has plenty of 
opportunities to speak Russian (we have Russian neighbors and he spends 
a lot of time with his grandparents who speak Russian only, and watch 
mostly Russian TV. ) So my question was mostly about reading skills, 
and specific materials that would help to enhance these.  I guess, I 
overstated his resistance to reading in Russian. I don't force him to 
read and don't loos my sleep over his bad grammar, all I try to do is 
to provide him with the learning opportunities. He is a good learner 
but he needs "an approach," if you know what I mean.  As a teacher I 
know that method is important as well as a proper material. And that 
what I've asked about. I've got some recommendations and will look into 
them.  Any other suggestions of specific authors, or resources

children, as I find it hard to find interesting and well written 
books...
