abecedarians
n. C2 Proficiency abecedar·i·ans
n. people who are just starting to learn how to read and write. They are usually very young children or people learning a new language for the first time.
n. individuals who are in the initial stages of learning to read and write, typically in a primary educational setting. Often used to describe those who are mastering the alphabet and basic phonics.
The teacher helps abecedarians recognize the letters of the alphabet.
The library has a special section for abecedarians, featuring books with large, clear letters and simple stories.
While the curriculum is designed for abecedarians, the advanced reading level of the text proved too challenging for the youngest students in the class.
