Ciphers for the little folks

A practical series of illustrated lessons for young children that teaches the biliteral cipher and trains observational, tactile, and penmanship skills through progressive hands-on activities. It presents a simple two-form code mapped to alphabet letters, step-by-step exercises using blocks, beads, drawing and sewing, and games for sending hidden messages. Lessons increase in complexity and emphasize constructive play, accuracy in letter formation, and adaptable classroom or home application; an appendix outlines alphabet origins and methods for explaining the cipher to instructors.
