Duden - right from the start! A first reading book for the youngest children to promote text and listening comprehension and expression. These 23 reading stories always revolve around the children's everyday life: It is about courage and growing beyond oneself, about care and security, but also quite simply about washing hair and brushing teeth, about getting well and doing without. The book combines stories in two parts for younger children from two years of age and older children up to four years of age. In addition to the short and somewhat longer stories, picture puzzles and rhymes encourage the reader to listen carefully and tell their own stories. Reading aloud is the foundation stone for later self-reading!
