The ghost in the shed, the test of courage, the math genius: The exciting stories from the school life of Kilian and Gesine provide high reading motivation for children. The competency-oriented tasks for each text ensure that students apply different reading strategies correctly. For each school story, you will receive two worksheets with tasks of varying difficulty levels, allowing you to take into account the different performance levels of the children. Students consider what expectations the title evokes, highlight key words, clarify misunderstandings, structure the text into sections, and summarize passages in their own words. In the spirit of holistic learning, each story is followed by a sheet with questions and prompts for social learning, which provide a good starting point for discussions.
