For Russian-speaking readers here who may want to challenge their children, here's the (original?) open book in Russian: http://ilib.mccme.ru/pdf/VIA-taskbook.pdf

I suspect Russian-speaking readers of HN mostly have kids who can’t read/write Russian, unfortunately.

Like my daughters, for example.

How actively did you try to teach them to do that?

They did go into a Russian child care where they learned basic reading/writing.

But after they went into US elementary school, we didn’t want to interfere with their English learning, so without practice they have lost reading/writing skills, but still can speak.

Thank you for that link! I can read Russian and that version is much clearer.
