Educator:
(Shows the alphabet to the children.)
What is this? (book, ABC, textbook)
What is it for? (children learn letters from it, learn to read)
All letters together as they are called (alphabet)
The alphabet is our best friend, everyone knows everything in the world!
There are many letters around, all children learn them.
Why do we need letters? (we can communicate with each other at a distance - write a letter, learn new things from books and magazines)
How did the letters come about? Now I will talk about how writing appeared.
For a long time, ancient people passed information to each other by drawing animals, hunting scenes on rocks and stones. These were the first steps of man to the creation of writing. (Slide)
Later, people began to replace the drawings with symbols. In order for the information to be preserved longer, primitive people knocked out the silhouettes of animals and symbols on the rocks with a sharp stone. (Slide)
Here we have a stone from the past. Let's, like ancient people, try to leave some message. (There is a large stone in the hall. Children are trying to carve a sign on it)
Is it easy to write a message and deliver it to its destination? (no, it is heavy, it is difficult and long to knock out a drawing)
That's right, so people began to write on the material that is easier to find or make. People began to write with pointed sticks - they were called writing. Instead of paper, they used wax boards and birch bark - birch bark. (Slide)
Time passed. They were replaced by quills and paper (Slide)
Listen to the history of the alphabet.
Long ago, our ancestors cultivated the land, farmed, built houses, weaved canvases, embroidered, but they could not read books and write letters. There were two preacher brothers at that time. Cyril and Methodius. The younger brother Cyril decided to write books understandable to the Slavs, but for this it was necessary to invent Slavic letters. This is what the brothers did. Their alphabet had 44 letters. (slide)
In honor of the enlighteners Cyril and Methodius, a holiday was established - the Day of Slavic Writing and Culture. Every year, on May 24, Saints Cyril and Methodius are solemnly glorified in all Slavic countries. (slide)
The first Slavic alphabets were Glagolitic and Cyrillic. The name of the alphabet "Glagolitic" comes from the word VERB, which means "speech". And "Cyrillic" is named after its creator, Cyril. Later, this alphabet became the basis for the Russian alphabet (slides).
Books in Rus' were made from parchment: specially processed sheep skin. One book sometimes took up to 30 animal skins - a whole herd! That is why books were expensive and only very rich people bought them. (slide)
Ordinary letters were written on cheaper birch bark material. Signs were applied with a bone rod. Birch-bark Novgorod letters confirmed the assumption that already in Ancient Rus' there were many who knew how to write and read. (slide)
Reflection.
Come on guys and we'll write a message to the past.
(hand out paper and crayons)
With the advent of the Old Russian alphabet, books began to be written. Basically, these were church books, teachings and scientific works. (slide)
Each letter in the Old Russian alphabet has its own name: az, beeches, lead, earth.
The names of the letters reminded people of such words as: “good”, “live”, “earth”, “people”, “peace”
Fizminutka
Guys, do you have names? Let's play?
Whose name begins with the letter "A" - let's stomp, whose name begins with "B" - clap, everyone else will jump ...
The first beech of the ancient alphabet was called "Az", the second - "Buki". Try putting them together and see what happens. (children add syllables written on paper)
It turned out the word "AZBUKA".
People say so: “First, “az” and “beeches”, then science.” It is from the basics that the path of each of us into the world of knowledge begins.
Guys, do you know proverbs about the benefits of teaching?
(Children read proverbs at the discretion of the teacher)
Do not write with a pen - with the mind.
Who is much more literate, that will not be an abyss.
More smart people, less fools.
He who wants to know a lot needs little sleep.
To go into science is to endure torment.
By God's will, the light stands, people live by science.
Without pain, there is no science.
To think nothing - to turn sour for a century.
It took a long time before man invented the printing press. Ivan Fedorov was the first to publish printed books in Russia. This was over 400 years ago. (slide)
The first primer was written and printed in 1574. It was without pictures and did not look at all like the primer by which we learn the alphabet now. Slavic letters are much more complicated and difficult than Russian letters, it took more time and effort to memorize them than to memorize Russian ones. “They teach the alphabet - they shout at the whole hut” Listen to how they taught literacy in the old days.
“How a church clerk taught children in the old days” (children read a verse)
In the old days, children learned
They were taught by a church clerk, -
Came at dawn
And they repeated the letters like this:
A yes B - like Az and Buki,
B - as Lead, G - Verb.
And a teacher for science
I beat them on Saturdays.
That's how wonderful at first
Our letter was!
This is what pen wrote -
From the goose wing!
Time passed and difficult letters were excluded from the alphabet, others were replaced. And our alphabet now looks like this (slide)
And now we are learning letters from this primer (slide)
(Children read poetry)
Everyone needs letters
Letters are important to everyone
We form a word from them,
And from the word there will be speech!
People would not be able
If there were no letters
There would be no communication.
Two brothers Cyril and Methodius,
We want to say thank you
For the letters that we really need
We are infinitely grateful to Saints Cyril and Methodius for creating the Slavic alphabet. Now we cannot even imagine how we would manage without books. From books we learn a lot of new and interesting things, the book teaches us a lot. Before a book comes to our home, many people put their work into creating this book, we have already talked about this in other classes, and now we invite you to consider books.
(children are invited to the book exhibition)

Holiday progress:
I. The leader comes out.
Goy, you our lovely guests, dear, lovely kids! I will tell you about holy Rus', about distant times, unknown to you. Lived - then the good fellows were good, the beautiful girls were red. And they had kind mothers, bearded wise fathers. They knew how to plow and mow, at home they could chop towers, they knew how to weave canvases, to embroider them with patterns.
But our ancestors did not know letters, they did not know how to read books and letters to write. And two educators appeared in Rus', the wise brothers Cyril and Methodius. They were originally from the state of Byzantium and Slavic land - the city of Thessalonica. At home, two brothers spoke Slavic, and at school, instruction was only in Greek. The younger brother Cyril dreamed of writing books understandable Slavs, and for this it was necessary to invent Slavic letters. Years have passed. The brothers grew up and learned. But a dream to create Slavic the alphabet did not leave her younger brother. He worked hard. And now the alphabet was ready. But thinking is half the battle. It needs to be translated from Greek into slavic books, to the Slavs had something to read. It turned out to be a very difficult task, and Kirill alone could not cope with it. His elder brother Methodius began to help him. Cyril and Methodius did a great job! This event took place in 863.
More recently, our country has holiday of Slavic culture and writing. It is a pity that with great delay, because in others Slavic countries, in Bulgaria, for example, this day celebrated a long time ago, popularly, very colorful and truly festive.
Look back at our ancestors
On the heroes of the past.
Remember them with a kind word -
Glory to them, fighters severe!
Glory to our side!
Glory to Russian antiquity!
And about this old
I'll start telling
So that people can know
About the affairs of the native land.
Today we will talk about our history, about the origin Slavic writing. Every year on May 24, Russia celebrates Day of Slavic Writing and Culture. Without culture, literacy, written language can not live a nation, people, state.

Writing- a real treasure that a person has mastered.
So in ancient times, people exchanged information by sending each other various objects. It turned out cumbersome and not particularly clear. When people realized that exchanging message items is a troublesome business, they began to draw these items. (picture No. 1)
Such images have been found on the walls of caves where ancient people once lived. These are the first steps of man to create writing. Gradually, people began to replace the drawings with symbols. (picture No. 2)
The inscriptions were made on stones, rock, on the board. Of course, to carry such « letters» at a distance it was difficult and it was possible to understand these signs in different ways.
Time passed. Gradually, people moved from drawing to signs, which they began to call letters. So was born writing.
You see (picture 3) the image of two brothers in monastic attire - Cyril and Methodius. These saints have long been considered patrons "book people"- teachers and students. Since 1987 in our country to this holiday Days began to be timed Slavic writing and culture. But this is not only today's tradition, and a hundred years ago in Russian schools this holiday It was celebrated especially solemnly, because the next academic year was ending.
The bell rings, the readers come out.
Across wide Rus' - our mother
The bell ringing is spreading.
Now the holy brothers, Cyril and Methodius,
For their labors are glorified.
They remember Cyril and Methodius,
Brothers glorious Equal-to-the-Apostles,
In Belarus, in Macedonia,
In Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia,

All people are equal, all people are brothers, all are equal before God, and everyone needs literacy. Orthodox Church of the brothers Cyril and Methodius canonized as saints.
Reader:
In a narrow monastery cell,
In four blank walls,
About the land of ancient Russian
The story was written by a monk.
He wrote in winter and summer,
Illuminated by dim light.
He wrote from year to year
About our great people.

Glagolitic and Cyrillic are the first Slavic alphabets. Name of the alphabet "Glagolitic" comes from the word VERB, which means "speech". A "Cyrillic" named after its creator. In Ancient Rus', the Glagolitic alphabet was used to convey church texts and existed for 3 centuries, and in everyday life writing used Cyrillic. Only 43 sister letters, they became the basis of the modern Russian alphabet.
Reader:
Two brothers, Cyril and Methodius,
We want to say thank you
For the letters that we really need
Passing under the sun of enlightenment
From far glorious antiquity,
We are now Slavic brothers,
Faithful to the first teachers!
To the apostles glorious
Holy love is deep.
Cases of Methodius - Cyril
IN Slavs will live for centuries!
Leading:
Currently Old Church Slavonic the language is dead - it is not spoken or written.
Let's look deep into the centuries and see what happened before the advent of the Cyrillic alphabet.
A letter is an alphabet Slavs, used on a vast territory belonging to the Rus. There were also runica (priestly letter, Glagolitic (trade letter, features and cuts (the simplest of letters) . The largest was the All-World Charter - 147 characters.
The initial letter is best known to us - under the name of the Cyrillic alphabet, trimmed and cleaned from unnecessary letters and sounds.
Old Slavic The initial letter had 49 initial letters. Modern - only 33.
To translate the Bible into our language, the Byzantine monks Cyril and Methodius remade our Old Slavic initial letter, and the letters they did not understand were removed (those that were not in Greek). These letters were also incomprehensible because the sounds they denoted were not found in Greek words. The Greeks still have only 24 letters.
Appearance of letters Slavic alphabet helps us see the world through the eyes of our ancestors. Each letter is individual, unique and has its own Name: lead, people, beeches, az, earth. The names of the letters were supposed to remind people of such words that they would forget. it is forbidden: "good", "live", "Earth", "People", "peace".
"Az" And "Buki". Got the word "ABC".
That's what people say: "At first "az" Yes "beeches" and then science. It is from the basics that the path of each of us into the world of knowledge begins.
Guys, do you know proverbs about the benefits of learning?
He who wants to know a lot needs little sleep.
To go into science is to endure torment.
Do you know what "Az-Buki-Vedi" means? "I know the letters," the alphabet tells us. Imagine - three letters hide a whole phrase in themselves! For our ancestors Slavs the alphabet was not just a collection of letters, but a reflection of the harmony of the world in the word.
1 reader:
So these are our origins,
Floating, glowing in the twilight,
Solemnly strict lines,
cast Slavic ligature.
So that's where, so that's where the first time
Found at the foot of the mountains
Under the fiery sign of Sophia
Diamond hardness verb.
2 reader:
Great mystery of sound
Despised decay and death,
On the blue Dnieper bends
The immovable firmament shook.
And Rus' over the foamy water,
Open to free winds
"I am!"- said the universe,
"I am!"- declared for centuries.
Leading:
It's hard to believe, but once our ancestors - the Slavs did not have books at all because there were no letters to write Slavic speech.
After the adoption of the Christian religion Slavs began to use Latin and Greek letters instead of their simplest characters.
But it was not very convenient, since these letters could not convey all the features Slavic speech.
And two educators appeared in Rus', wise brothers ...
Since the 10th century, literature based on the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabets has been spreading in the Old Russian language. Most often these were church books, teachings, learned works. Getting to know the exposition.
The books were very expensive. The production of ancient handwritten books was a labor-intensive business. The material for them was parchment. (picture 4)- leather of special dressing. The best parchment was made from the soft, thin skin of lambs and calves. She was cleaned of wool and washed thoroughly. Then they pulled it onto drums, sprinkled it with chalk and cleaned it with pumice. After air-drying, the roughness was cut off from the leather and polished again with a pumice stone. The dressed skin was cut into rectangular pieces and sewn into eight-sheet notebooks. It is noteworthy that this ancient pamphlet order has been preserved to this day. day. Stitched notebooks were collected into a book. Depending on the format and number of sheets, one book required from 10 to 30 animal skins - a whole herd! According to one of the scribes, who worked at the turn of the 14th-15th centuries, three rubles were paid for the skin for the book. At that time on these money you could buy three horses.
Books were usually written with quill pen and ink. The king had the privilege of writing with a swan and even a peacock feather. Manufacturing written accessories required a certain skill. The feather was certainly removed from the left wing of the bird, so that the bend was convenient for the right, writing hand. The pen was degreased by sticking it into hot sand, then the tip was cut obliquely, split and sharpened with a special penknife. They also scraped out errors in the text.
Medieval ink, unlike the blue and black that we are used to, was brown in color, as it was made on the basis of ferruginous compounds, or, more simply, rust. Pieces of old iron were lowered into the water, which, rusting, painted it brown. Ancient recipes for making ink have been preserved. As components, in addition to iron, oak or alder bark, cherry glue, kvass, honey and many other substances were used, which gave the ink the necessary viscosity, color, and stability. Centuries later, this ink has retained the brightness and strength of the color. Unfortunately, very few ancient books have been preserved. Only about 130 copies priceless evidence of the 11th-12th centuries. has come down to us. There were few of them in those days.
To decorate the manuscript, titles in the Middle Ages were written in a special, decorative font - ligature. (picture 5)
The letters stretched upwards were intertwined with each other (hence the name - ligature, forming a text similar to an ornamental ribbon. They wrote in ligature not only on paper. Gold and Silver vessels, fabrics were often covered with elegant inscriptions. Of all types of ancient letters before 19th. It was the ligature that was preserved, however, only in Old Believer books and decorative inscriptions. (picture 6)
On the pages of ancient Russian books, the text was arranged in one or two columns. Letters were not divided into lowercase and uppercase. They filled the line in a long line without the usual intervals between words. To save space, some, mostly vowels, letters were written above the line or replaced with a sign - title - a horizontal line. The endings of well-known and frequently used words were also truncated. From Byzantium, the tradition was borrowed over each word to put an accent sign - strength.
For a long time there was no pagination. Instead, at the bottom right, they wrote the word with which the next page began.
Some features of Old Russian punctuation are also curious. Of the punctuation marks familiar to us, only the dot, borrowed from the Byzantine writing. They put it arbitrarily, sometimes defining the boundaries between words, sometimes marking the end of a phrase. In the 15-16 centuries. writing has become more complicated. In books, for example, commas appeared - to indicate pauses, a semicolon that replaced the question mark.
The work of a scribe is not easy. The work moved slowly. On average, for day I managed to write only two or four sheets, not only without errors, but also beautifully.
Medieval handwritten books were elegantly designed. Before the text, they always made a headband - a small ornamental composition, often in the form of a frame around the title of a chapter or section. The first, capital letter in the text - the initial - was written larger and more beautiful than the rest, decorated with an ornament, sometimes in the form of a man, animal, bird, fantastic creature. Usually the initial was red. Since then they say - to write from the red line. The section ended - with an ending - with a small drawing, for example, an image of two birds that looked like peacocks.
1reader:
From the well, such a blue depth
My Kitezh grows, four walls,
Gilded horse, lace shutters - apart ...
Rose of the East. Ros is illuminating.
Wooden fairy tale, lake peace,
Why do I need your shore, such an openwork?
In whimsical curves of patterned roofs?
Yes, shepherd's horn? Yes, pipe reeds?
2 reader:
Apparently, the archival memory began to hurt,
If there is nothing to regret in the wilds of concrete -
So at least beckon you from the depths,
From Cyrillic woven songs-epics.
Wooden fairy tale, forgotten Ros,
You pierce my soul with an arrow.
And I don't know why it's needed
Like water from a well, your old man ....
Historian: (in robe and confederate)
In Rus', other material was also used for a long time for letters - birch bark(picture 7). Birch bark is a very convenient material for letters although it required some preparation. Birch bast was boiled in water to make the bark more elastic, then its rough layers were removed. A sheet of birch bark was cut off on all sides, giving it a rectangular shape. They wrote on the inside of the bark, squeezing out the letters with a special stick - writing - from bone, metal or wood. One end of the writing was pointed, and the other was made in the form of a spatula with a hole and hung from the belt. Technique letters on birch bark allowed the texts to remain in the ground for centuries.
Over time, more convenient machines appeared, and with them the modern alphabet.
(wax boards + birch bark)
Reader:
Good book, my companion, my friend,
Leisure time is interesting with you.
You teach to be truthful and valiant,
Nature, people to understand and love.
I cherish you, I protect you.
I can't live without a good book.

Today, I think, it is worth talking about musical letter because many of you are into music. In many respects, the appearance of notes is due to the need of a person to store information about the melody invented by him and pass it on to the next generations.
The history of music has more than one millennium since the appearance of the first musical instruments. True, in those days there was no musical notation, and the sounds made by musical instruments were recorded in the form of symbols invented by musician: dashes, dots, various curls. Ancient collections were written in hooks - non-linear notes. These hooks are also called "hatchets" or "kondakary" notes (from the word KONDAK - verse) (sheets with notes and book). This type of music letters disappeared in the 13th century. Later, these symbols began to be written on horizontal lines. But the different designation of notes for each musician brought chaos to the musical world - this was the prerequisite for the appearance of notes similar to modern ones. They were supposed to bring order to the process of recording musical compositions and make them easy to read for other people.

Bell ringing. The verb is included.
verb:

Leading:
What a beautiful name you have! And what does it mean?
To speak means to speak. But before you speak, you need to think carefully... among the people spoke: “You say - you don’t return, and you would give dearly for a word, but you won’t redeem”. There are many proverbs about the benefits of learning. I will now read some of them to you, and you will name the last word in them yourself.
(He calls the beginning of the proverb, the students finish speaking)
1. Az, beeches, lead, scary as ... bears.
2. What is written with a pen cannot be cut down ... with an ax.
Bell ringing. Included letter:
Kind day! My name is "Good".
What a good name you have!
Kindness is the best character trait of a person.
It's not easy to be kind
Kindness does not depend on growth,
Kindness does not depend on color,
Kindness is not a gingerbread, not a candy.
You just have to be very kind.
To not forget each other in trouble.
And peoples will live together,
If we are kinder to you.
Kindness makes people happy
And in return does not require a reward.
Kindness never gets old
Kindness will warm you from the cold.
If kindness shines like the sun
Adults and children rejoice.
A new guest is hurrying to us from the alphabet!
Bell ringing. Comes in letter:
I am a letter "People".
You people live well
Bring kindness and love.
The radiant sun is not divided into parts,
And the eternal land cannot be divided.
But a spark of happiness
You can, you must
You can give to your friends.
Children sing a song: “That’s what a real good friend means….”
Bell ringing. Included letter:
Hello! My name is "Think".
What a wise letter has come to us!
I brought you riddles. Guess them.
1) The seed is flat,
The field is smooth
Who can
He sows
The seed does not germinate
And it bears fruit. (Paper and words written on it.)
2) My mother carried me,
Mother dropped me
People got me up
Carried to the market to trade,
They cut off my head, I began to drink
And speak clearly. (Goose feather).
Our ancestors wrote with goose feathers, very rarely with swan feathers, and in one manuscript a pavier feather is mentioned - a peacock.
Goose feathers were subjected to special processing: stuck for a short time in sand or ash, and then scraped off unnecessary membranes.
3) Not a bush, but with leaves.
Not a shirt, but sewn
Not a person, but tells. (Book).
Leading:
In the old days, books were written by hand. The work progressed slowly. It sometimes took five to seven years to produce one - a single manuscript - a book. The scribe had to have a clear and beautiful handwriting. Each letter was often not even written, but drawn.
The ink was carefully selected, they even wrote with dissolved gold or silver. The opening line of a new chapter was highlighted in red ink, hence the expression - start with a red line.
The rewritten sheets were decorated with drawings, dressed in bindings made of wooden boards covered with leather. On the covers were placed precious stones, gold or silver clasps. Loved in the old days speak: "The book word in pearls walks". This book cost a lot of money.
There are hissing letters
There are whistling letters
And only one of them -
Roaring letter.
The bell is ringing. Letter enters.
Hello! I am the letter "Rtsy".
No wonder I'm proud of myself
After all, I am the beginning of the word "Rus".
Thank you, letters, for teaching us beauty, kindness, wisdom.

Hello, our lovely guests, kindly cute kids. I will tell you about holy Rus', about distant times, unknown to you.
Lived - then the good fellows were good, the beautiful red maidens. And they had kind mothers, bearded wise fathers. They knew how to plow and mow, how to cut house-towers, how to weave canvases and embroider them with patterns. Here our ancestors did not know letters, they did not know how to read books, yes letters to write.
(Slide 2) And two educators appeared in Rus', the wise brothers Cyril and Methodius. They were originally from the Macedonian city of Thessalonica. Cyril studied theology and taught philosophy. He was called a philosopher, and in Russian a sage. Since childhood, he dreamed of writing books that are understandable Slavs. He began to help elder brother Methodius. For a long time they listened to Russian speech, and then they began to write it down. And they came up with initial letters, and from them they made up the alphabet. (Slide 3)

Host 2: Since childhood, we have become accustomed to the letters of our Russian alphabet and do not think about how we manage to convey any sounds and words with a combination of sticks and circles. How did our letters come about?
Presenter 1: How did each nation develop its own language?
Host 2: Slavic writing has an amazing origin. Thanks to the chronicles, lives of saints and other sources inherited from our ancestors, they know about the beginning of Slavic writing. We not only know the time of the appearance of the Slavic alphabet, but also the names of the creators of Slavic writing and their biography.

First teachers!
Elder brother - Michael
The younger brother is Konstantin,
So in the world they were then called,
And they understood the Bulgarian language.
Presenter 1: They were born a long time ago, more than a thousand years ago, in the Greek city of Thessalonica (now Thessaloniki, in Northern Greece).
Host 2: In childhood, both did not know the need for anything. Their father was rich and distinguished. The boys lived in a huge house, where they were surrounded by luxury, and the servants were in a hurry to fulfill any desire.
Their father was Greek, but the Slavic mother spoke to the children in her native Slavic language. It's time for the boys to go to school. First, the older brother began to study, a few years later the younger brother went to school.
Everything at school seemed to Konstantin very interesting and surprising, and he kept pestering his older brother with questions: Why does the teacher speak Greek all the time? Why don't the Slavs have their own books? And Mikhail answered: “Because it is impossible to write in the Slavic language.”
“Here I will grow up and come up with Slavic letters,” Konstantin said.
Years have passed. The younger brother studied very roughly and soon became the best student in the whole school. He was sent further, to the capital of Byzantium, the city of Constantinople. But even there, at the court of the emperor, he did not forget about his dream - to create the alphabet of the Slavs.
Presenter 1:
The eldest of the brothers, Methodius, showed an interest in knowledge from an early age. He was instructed in the sciences by home teachers invited by his father. Then he entered the military service and coped with his duties so well that soon, despite his youth, he occupied a very high position. The Byzantine emperor himself patronized a capable young man and appointed him ruler of Macedonia, a country subject to Byzantium, the main population of which were Slavs.
Host 2: The life of both brothers developed in such a way that they could become richer than their father. As people close to the imperial household, they would never need anything.
Presenter 1: However, both brothers chose a different path. They crowned themselves with great glory, but not as courtiers or military leaders, but as conductors of the Christian faith and sowers of bookish knowledge among the Slavic peoples.
