Read and write with Zebra

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's all about practicing those basic phonetic-letter assignments in a fun and interactive way. If a child makes a mistake, the app steps in to correct it after the third try, showing both the correct word and the child's attempt. This feature helps kids compare and recognize their errors, fostering a playful yet effective approach to developing basic orthographic awareness. And the best part? The content of the tutorials changes with each new game, keeping the learning experience fresh and exciting, no matter how many times you play.

Here's what you can expect from the app:

• Child-friendly videos that explain the basics in an engaging way.
• Automatic correction of incorrect entries, with the correct solution displayed after the third attempt.
• A clear and structured learning path that guides your child through the exercises.
• The freedom for self-determined learning, allowing kids to progress at their own pace.
• Motivation through collecting stars and trophies, making learning feel like a rewarding adventure.
• Detailed evaluations for teachers and parents, providing a solid basis for further support and encouragement.

The app is divided into two engaging areas for practice:

SWINGING SYLLABLES AND WRITING: This section introduces children to the writing table and offers a range of exercises, including:

• "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 both simple and difficult levels

HEARING SOUNDS: This area focuses on phonological awareness, a crucial step in learning to read and write. It includes the following listening tasks:

• 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?

These four listening tasks are available as an in-app purchase, which can only be accessed in the teacher-parent area, protected by a numerical barrier to prevent unwanted purchases. This feature ensures that the tablet remains safe from accidental in-app purchases, giving parents peace of mind.

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.
