Whether in individualized instruction, in a classroom setting, or for cooperative learning forms - the new Pusteblume reading book is versatile! It invites both reading and browsing as well as structured and systematic learning. Diverse task formats support children in developing their own reading strategies. A smooth transition from grade 1 to grade 2 is achieved through the first chapter "At School," which includes playful reading exercises and texts with color-coded syllables. Ten thematic chapters - eight of which align with the language book - allow for connections with the subject matter and address the interests of both boys and girls. Additionally, numerous illustrations and many photos provide further motivation. This ensures continued independent reading! The chapters are clearly structured. Each chapter features competency pages that offer strategies and methods or encourage creative engagement.
