Read! Read! 1 contains worksheets for exciting first reading adventures. The introduction to the world of reading should be motivating for children. Therefore, these photocopiable templates are action-oriented and playful. The fundamental goal of the exercises is for children not only to acquire reading skills but also to understand what they read. The materials are systematically structured. Step by step, children progress from recognizing words (word-image puzzles, dominoes) to constructing sentences (clip cards, Wimmel sentences) and creating small stories (mini-books, concertina books) to guided work on small readings (The Rainbow Fish, the Letter Bird). The photocopiable templates allow for differentiated work and aim for independent learning (free work, weekly planning).
