The \"Collection de l'Écolier\" brings this spirit back to life in three volumes composed in the style of 1950s classroom books, featuring authentic vintage engravings and maps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree volumes, three uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first reading book is based on the syllabic method, which taught generations of schoolchildren to read: starting with letters, then syllables, then words, without guessing or skipping steps.
