KOMPARATIVNA ANALIZA BUKVARA A. DRAGOSAVLjEVIĆA (1825) I MILATOVIĆ–IVKOVIĆ (2007)

Abstract

This paper deals with Vuk Milatović’s and Anastasija Ivković’s Alphabet book from 2007 and Dragosavljević’s manuscript Small Alphabet book for Serbian Youth from 1825. An alphabet book is the first textbook in child’s education, a tool for acquiring basic literacy skills. This paper analyses all aspects of Dragosavljević’s Small Alphabet book for Serbian Youth (1825) and Vuk Milatović’s and Anastasija Ivković’s Alphabet book (2007): layout, orthography and methodical approach, with regard to all the differences and similarities between the two epochs in which they were written. The goal of the paper is to show how much alphabet books have changed over a period of two centuries, as well as to focus attention on their practical value, given the methodical aspect.
