[Thesauron]

This lovely little brochure is now online. It has helped many to learn to read and write. It goes well with our recent article and video about the subject.

I wonder why to online version has changed the cover color to PINK?  The printed booklet and the previous PDF version was BLUE.  Both gave the same copyright date of 1997.

Not sure, but the pink one is the February 2015 printing. Could have to do with what the factory could produce at the time.

 I should have used this booklet to teach my Bible student. She had only spend a total of  one year in school on account of the civil war in Liberia. But I doubt I would be able to get 2 copies from my small congregation. 3 language groups share the hall and the space for literature is limited. 

In the end I borrowed Ladybird reader books from the public library. She was so pleased reading about Peter and Jane, she bought at considerable cost books to send copies to her young children back home. I could have got those books cheaply from the thrift shop but she was doing a home based hair pieces business and making considerable money. 

 

spent perhaps a total of 12 months in a schoolhouse in his entire childhood.

In 1967 we used a smaller booklet form of teaching literacy.  Called "Learn To Read And Write".

Slightly different approach was begun in 1920 with our children.  It was a "primer" type booklet outlining the "ABCs".  The publication was called "The Golden Age ABC".

I got a pdf from someone here a while back, paginated it and had several copies printed for those in need.

That is interesting. I wonder what words they chose for U, V, W, X, Y and Z. Maybe something like Xerxes?

 

Edit: Now I really am curious. Even the Insight doesn’t have any entries under X.

The publication is printed so the left-hand page has the Letter and a paragraph of explanation and the right-hand page (opposite when opened) has the Capital Letter and a picture from the PhotoDrama slide.

There is a technical explanation to that. The brochure is printed in two colors: black and, in this case, a blueish ink (seems like cyan with some magenta added to the composition). Apparently, when they had such publications, the second color was coded as magenta in the digital output. I remember when we first started receiving Our Kingdom Ministry PDF's, back when there were six rotating colors, all colors were magenta in the PDF, while the colors in print were matching the color on the cover of the study edition of The Watchtower for that given month.

It's funny to see the brochure in different languages. The Arabic one is just posted on jw.org and its a 100 page brochure!

Beautiful how the brothers are putting so much effort into helping others
