The encyclopedic dictionary of Brockhaus and Efron characterizes F. S. Kuzmichev as a “semi-literate self-taught” writer of “cheap popular books”. Under the "cheap popular books" refers to the publication of books for the masses and children with pictures ( splints ). According to the writers of "high calm", he "wrote ineptly and illiterately, provoked Belinsky's ridicule." However, the encyclopaedists note that the author was popular: “I knew my audience [he] was able to please, and some of his works were reprinted many times”.
Fedot Kuzmichev is known as the first author of the alphabet with the "easiest learning to read" method, where the warehouse method of reading was proposed (a simplified form of syllables of two or three phonemes ). Later, this method was developed and based on Leo Tolstoy in his ABC .
