The 1990 edition in Albania was primarily the work of Kolë Xhumari and Qefsere Xhixha . Kolë Xhumari is often celebrated as the "father" of the modern Albanian primer, having authored several versions that focused on the phonetic-synthetic method . This specific 1990 edition began to strip away the heavy ideological and political overtones typical of the socialist regime, moving toward more neutral, childhood-oriented content.

The (primer) was published by the state-owned "Shtëpia Botuese e Librit Shkollor" in Tirana. It was designed for first-grade students (age 6–7) to learn reading and writing in standard Albanian.

Finally, the standardization of the alphabet at the Congress of Manastir in 1908 unified the nation under the 36 letters used to this day.
