Apple, Bear, and Clown: Take a stroll through the classroom with words and images – this is how you bring movement into your reading training. If you want to make learning to read fun and easy while accommodating the pace of each child, then this title is just right for you. With this material, learning to read at the word level becomes a walk in the park.

Here’s how it works: For each letter of the alphabet and the umlauts ä, ö, and ü, as well as the letter combinations au, ch, ei, eu, sch, sp, st, and pf, you will find a worksheet that lists twelve nouns. These nouns predominantly feature the corresponding letter at the beginning, and less frequently in the middle of the word. Behind each noun is a solution letter. There are also matching picture cards with numbers that can be distributed throughout the classroom.

The children walk around to find the picture cards corresponding to the words and note the correct number next to the word in the table. Using the numbers, the children can arrange the solution letters in the correct order to form a solution word. This active reading approach brings energy and variety to early lessons. Each child can match the word-image pairs at their own pace, allowing for the individuality of all students to be respected. Additionally, the materials are also suitable for children learning German as a second language.
