While this book was being prepared for release, my son Vasya became a second grader. Are you still worried about counting within tens and calligraphy in copybooks? Then guess the riddle: “With a voiced consonant, we live in it, with a deaf consonant, we read it.” The correct answer is “house – volume”. Or again: “Write the names of the fish with a soft sign at the end of four, five, six and seven letters.” To mothers - fishermen and biologists, who will certainly cope with this task, I offer an additional one. “Two words are given: “business” and “idleness.” Quote the proverb.” You cannot use the Internet. And books too. Answer: “A little deed is better than a lot of idleness.” Children go through this in second grade. They say that by the third grade all parents feel like clinical idiots.
