The focus of the Elephant Book is on writing, spelling, and language observation. Based on engaging texts, spelling and language phenomena are developed and practiced. First, reading comprehension is assessed. Strategy-based practice with phenomenon words from the text provides insights into spelling regularities. A key component includes copying and completing the text using selection sequences. Each text page is followed by a practice page, allowing for further reinforcement in a motivating and playful manner. The removable word list serves for self-monitoring, independent practice, and preparation for using the dictionary. Mouse and Elephant provide important tips and memory aids for the language and spelling phenomena. A separate chapter offers work techniques and serves as a reference.
