"Reading Traces" connects to the children's world of experience, addresses their questions, and enables active, exploratory, and independent religious learning. In this way, they acquire fundamental skills and knowledge and develop their own perspective as well as their own religious expression. "Reading Traces" empowers students to discover the religious dimension in their everyday lives and to actively participate in shaping religious life. The open learning opportunities in the student book are complemented by numerous additional suggestions in the teacher materials. With the picture cards and the audio CD, the teaching content can be deepened.
