"Sputnik-1" is a modern learning and teaching support kit consisting of a student’s book, activity book, tests and flashcards for teaching Russian as a Foreign Language (RFL) to kids. The activity book contains exercises for practicing the material presented in the student's book.

It can be used for both in-class work or solo studying by the pupil. The activity book helps develop writing skills and offers a wide variety of engaging tasks: crosswords, word finders, true or false, finding the missing word or arranging the words in order, etc.

The pages’ numbers are identical to the student's book, so all the tasks are easy to find and work perfectly together with the learning material. We are very proud of our audio! It was recorded by native Russian speakers: voice-over professionals and kids themselves.

We strongly believe (and it's daily proved in our lessons) that kids want to listen to other kids. Different voices give a broad perspective of native Russian pronunciation.

And the kids had so much fun recording our dialogues! You can hear it in their voices. "Sputnik-1" is suitable for kids aged 8–12 years who are bilingual or have recently started learning RFL from scratch.

"Sputnik-1" can be used as a supplementary tool for speech development and to address grammatical difficulties with younger school-aged children who are studying Russian as a Second Language (RSL) in ethnic schools all over the world. "Sputnik-1" has been probed as a learning and teaching support kit at Moscow Korean School (MKS), the only Korean school, which is authorized by the government of South Korea in Europe.

Teachers also used our materials in group and individual RFL online and offline lessons with kids from the USA, Europe, Asia, and other countries. Buying "Sputnik-1", you get a book + audio (QR inside) + flashcards (QR inside)! 3 in 1!Olga Okhotnikova, the author of "Sputnik-1", has more than 10 years of experience working with young foreign language learners and bilingual kids.

The path of 7 years runs between the initial idea of writing this book and its completion. During the probing phase, more than 400 kids participated in evaluating the material.

We have put in a tremendous amount of effort to ensure that our learning and teaching support kit is useful and engaging for you. We believe that it will help you achieve your teaching goals.

Hope, "Sputnik-1" becomes your favorite one among RFL books!. .
