Independent reading - a significant challenge, especially for students with a focus on intellectual development. Children in these classes typically learn to read independently very late or sometimes not at all. How can we support them to the point where they can recognize meaningful words from their everyday world? This volume offers a motivating and varied package of materials that allows your students to practice whole word reading over an extended period without losing their enthusiasm for learning. The students memorize the words as complete images, thus being introduced to the reading process. The clearly structured exercise materials cover all important everyday and student-relevant whole words from the areas of animals, home, and shopping. Students can puzzle the words together and correctly match words with pictures.
