The book "Promoting Reading Skills with Literary Texts in DaZ Instruction" offers a comprehensive analysis of enhancing reading competence among students with German as a second language (DaZ) in lower secondary education. It highlights current findings from reading research and literature didactics and examines how methodological-didactic approaches from the fields of German as a native language (DaM), German as a second language (DaZ), and German as a foreign language (DaF) can be integrated into an effective reading promotion model. This model serves as a systematic teaching principle for language-integrative and literature-supported instruction and can also be adapted to other grade levels and types of schools. The practice-oriented approaches and theoretical foundations make the book a valuable resource for teachers who wish to specifically promote their students' reading competence.
