I used to go join first grade in a village to motivate the kids of our forest village to take up the burden and dont miss the change.
After every letter it was usual to stand up fold the hands and say: "Thanks you Mr. Teacher that I have learned A". The teacher was a not well educated farmer wife, but the important lesson was learned. Not to speak about how the write on a small slate. Nothing to safe and store and direct into the heart.
Difficult today, very difficult. But one should never give up.
