Three Level 1 books that introduce the Armenian alphabet the way young children learn best: color a letter, trace a letter, then read it in a story.

What's in the kit

• Armenian Alphabet Coloring Book, Level 1: a page for every letter with a picture to color, so the shapes become familiar before any writing starts.
• Armenian Alphabet Workbook, Level 1: big, clear tracing lines and simple activities that build pencil control one letter at a time.
• Learn the Armenian Alphabet Reading Book, Level 1: a first reader that puts the letters into short words and pictures, so your child hears and sees them in use. 22 pages, 6 x 9 inches.

How to use it

Start with the coloring book for a relaxed introduction, add the workbook once your child is comfortable holding a pencil, and read the storybook together along the way. Ten minutes a day is plenty at this age.

Who it's for

• Children ages 4 to 6 meeting Armenian letters for the first time
• Home learning, preschool, and kindergarten Armenian classes
• Parents who don't read Armenian: every letter comes with an English pronunciation hint

A gift that lasts

Three books, one box, one clear next step. Grandparents and relatives choose this kit because it works whether or not the family speaks Armenian at home.

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 Armenian Alphabet Kit: Level 2 is the natural next stage, followed by the Read and Write in Armenian 4-Book Set.
