Looking for a fun and engaging way to introduce your child to the world of German letters and words? The ZEBRA WRITING TABLE app is your perfect companion! Designed as a companion to the German textbook ZEBRA by Ernst Klett Verlag, this app stands strong on its own, offering a delightful learning path filled with films, games, and a variety of exercises. It's the perfect starting point for young learners embarking on their journey to read and write in German, covering years 1 to 4.
The newly updated ZEBRA WRITING TABLE app focuses on the writing of phonetic words, using fundamental vocabulary to build a strong foundation. It helps children practice basic phonetic-letter assignments, and if they make a mistake, the app steps in to correct it after the third attempt. By displaying both the correct word and the child's input, kids can easily spot and learn from their errors, fostering a playful yet effective way to develop basic orthographic awareness. The app keeps things fresh by changing the content of tutorials with each new game, ensuring that practice remains exciting and engaging.
Here's what you can expect from the app:
- Child-friendly videos that explain the basics in an easy-to-understand way.
- Automatic correction of incorrect entries, with the correct solution shown after the third attempt.
- A clear and structured learning path that guides children through various exercises.
- The freedom for self-determined learning, allowing kids to progress at their own pace.
- Motivation through collecting stars and trophies, making learning fun and rewarding.
- Detailed evaluations for teachers and parents, providing a solid basis for further support and encouragement.
The app features two distinct areas for practice:
The SWINGING SYLLABLES AND WRITING area introduces children to the writing table and includes a range of exercises:
- “initial-sound-rap”
- Movie "speak - listen - swing"
- Task "hear and swing"
- “ZEBRA writing table game”
- Movie "writing with the ZEBRA writing table"
- Task "swing and write" at a simple level
- Task "Swing and Write" at a difficult level
The HEARING SOUNDS area focuses on phonological awareness, a crucial step in learning to read and write:
- Which word begins with...?
- Which words sound similar at the beginning?
- Where do you hear the sound in the word?
- With which sound does the word begin?
The four listening tasks in the HEARING SOUNDS section are available as an in-app purchase, which can only be accessed through the teacher-parent area, protected by a numerical barrier. This feature ensures that children cannot make unintended purchases, keeping the learning environment safe and secure.
We hope you and your child enjoy the exciting journey of learning to write with the ZEBRA WRITING TABLE app. We look forward to hearing your feedback and comments.
