Information about the title: Basic Book 1 - Language and Reading. Language support pages build vocabulary and practice speech patterns. Independent reading pages lead to successful experiences. Literary reading texts provide additional language patterns. Information about the series: der-die-das - the teaching material for introductory instruction in reading and writing. Der-die-das covers a particularly wide range of abilities and supports all children at different levels: fast-learning children benefit from the pre-course to the sound table, use the workbook, the differentiation block, and soon read the reading texts themselves. Slower-learning children deepen their knowledge with the differentiation block, with picture cards, or with the CD-ROM. Children with a focus on language support systematically expand their vocabulary. Children with a non-German language background particularly appreciate the color coding.
