The completely new practice book "Durchstarten Englisch" focuses on reading and writing, addressing two important themes and skills in English instruction. The reading comprehensions train various types of reading comprehension through texts of different lengths and genres. Additionally, learners gain competence in handling various test formats (True/False decisions, Multiple Choice, ordering, connecting). The writing exercises gently introduce writing English texts with prompts of varying difficulty levels, supported by many illustrations to keep students motivated. Model texts for all writing assignments provide guidance for evaluating their own work. The vocabulary used in "Durchstarten" aligns with the vocabulary of 4th grade, making all tasks easy to understand and independent of any specific textbook.
