Tests for Soroka course
What are they for?
The exercises from these tests can be used as: tests, additional exercises, and an entry test. If you have doubts about which level to start with — Soroka 1 or Soroka 2 — please do all of these tests first, and this will help you to determine the level.
Exactly the same tests in their entirety are at the very end of the Soroka Teacher’s Book. So, if you already purchased the Teacher’s Book, you already have these tests. You don’t need to buy this file.
These are the links to the files:

Continue reading “Learning the Rules by Derivation”“Vassily the Cat” is a book from the series about the adventures of a black cat named Vassily. Why doesn’t Vassily have a family? Does his grandmother, Nastas’ya Yur’evna, love him? What can a cat do to overcome loneliness? The feeling of compassion for the main character will allow children to learn lots of new words to improve speaking — as well as to enjoy reading — in Russian. Vocabulary and grammar levels correspond to A2. At the end of the book, a list of questions is available to test reading comprehension.
