Teaching material for primary school teachers, subject: German, grades 1-2. A picture is worth a thousand words! At the beginning, it doesn't have to be that many, but the cute illustrations on 15 different themes from the fantasy world encourage children to write their first words, sentences, or short stories. Whether it's aliens, detectives, witches, mermaids, pirates, knights, superheroes, or dwarfs, the idea behind the three-tier differentiated worksheets is clear and makes lengthy explanations unnecessary: On the simplest worksheet, children draw their own ideas into the large theme picture and write their first words. On the intermediate worksheet, they find a picture title and note down suitable words related to the theme picture to create their first sentences. On the most challenging worksheet, a small excerpt from the theme picture provides the impulse to write a four-part story.
