To read and write Persian one has to learn 46 letters, syllables and signs, aw well as the rules of Persian writing, which has its own complexities.

My experience in teaching Persian for 1-9 graders in Finnish schools shows that children can acquire these essentials in 10 to 60 training sessions. However, this important achievement, by itself, cannot have a very promising result in practice: the children cannot read books like their peers in Iran or Afghanistan.

The present book is an answer to the challenges that the children, and beginners in general, face with in learning how to read and write Persian texts.

The book is suitable for both multiple level classes and self-study. It covers 3 levels, and provides smooth transition from one level to the next one.
