The modern teaching resource for Protestant religious education in primary schools, "Reading Traces," allows students to discover the religious dimension in their everyday lives. The chapters connect to the children's experiences and consistently provide prompts for further thinking, storytelling, and creative expression. The clear chapter structure additionally promotes active, exploratory learning: each chapter begins with one or more images that situate the topic within the children's world and activate prior knowledge. At the bottom of each page, there is a task bar with numerous discussion starters, suggestions for deeper reflection, various creative opportunities, and prompts for role-playing or tableau activities, as well as liturgical elements. "Reading Traces" concludes with the "Trace Search" page, which serves to contextualize the insights gained.
